Editing Exchange

Saehee and I decided to do our editing exchange together. We booked the Cintiq lab at the CDA and worked for a couple hours.

We edited Saehee's animatic first. I made a lot of timing changes, mostly extending frames for much longer. I also added frames for a title and for credits.
Their animatic starts with a few frames of text that explains the myth they're exploring. I ran the text through a calculator that tells you how long to hold text on screen for legibility and we found that this exposition, when paced slowly enough to actually read, lasts 30 seconds.
Afterwards, we re-timed and reordered each sequence. A lot of frames needed to be held for much longer, taking into account the amount of time needed to animate the movements. Before this, Saehee was worried that they had a lot of gaps in their animatic, but in the end they actually had 2 minutes and 30 seconds of content and need to cut down.

We started editing my animatic next. I had a clear idea of the edits to make (see last week's list), so we just had that to follow. Unfortunately, TV Paint wasn't opening in the Cintiq lab so we had to use Saehee's laptop instead and then it crashed without saving. So.

I did my own timing edits later but we talked about my project and Saehee gave me a really good idea: for the scene where Lorraine wakes up in her room full of ladybugs, I could recreate the rose petal scene in American Beauty.
