Dropped everything off at Anna Arnold's office.. With detailed instructions, I will check back later when she arrives.
It's done! It's printed. It's uploaded. It's rendered. It's filmed. Everything's been done.
Quite a learning experience...
Who knew there is a difference in sound on a computer vs. a cell phone. I didn't. I learned THAT after having to fix a video I played on my phone (even though I had already watched 11,000 times on YouTube without problems..)
I also had to do the same with font size.. It looked great on the computer. Not so much on my phone. Unfortunately, it's not one quick and easy step to fix.. You have to render every time you make an adjustment.. Which means waiting.. Then Premiere will crash every time you move the text.. Which is more waiting.. Then you have to re-upload to from Premiere to YouTube .. More waiting.. And then editing the description/ title/ & tags on YouTube... & waiting while it formats..
If I didn't have patience before, I do now!
I learned that no matter how detailed and explicit your directions are.. People still may not understand.. Which means lots of phone calls/ emails/ texts/ meetings/ and more waiting..
Deadlines may not mean the same thing to others as they do to you..
Learning a program you've never worked with is hard.. YouTube is great for tutorials.
Proper equipment is crucial. If possible, own your own. Which means no late fees, your settings stay as you wanted them, and generally speaking.. You've probably worked with your own equipment before. Oh and most importantly.. You can access it on your own time. Not 9-5, only for two days, two weeks, or having to leave before your finished.
Coordinating people is a difficult task.. Something we all have experience with and will deal with in the future.. But having a very laid out plan, and making your goals known from the get-go helps. Plan ahead. Great ideas will pop up. Go with it. But keep your main focus at hand. Remember the goal of your assigned task/duty/job.
Sometimes staying up all night will get the job done, sometimes.. If it's not working, and you've exhausted all ideas on how to fix it.. Go to bed. Maybe your plea to Tech Support will come in the AM. In my case, it did.
& finally...
You can do anything you put your mind to, as long as it's legal.. And you have coffee by your side.
