what a learning curve! i was forced to learn the new Final Cut Pro 10 (fcpx) thanks to iMovie constantly crashing on my little macbook. but what a blessing! i was doing things the long tedious way!!! so now i'm working on the beast of my macbook pro (which i jacked from my husband), trying to take over the world! the entire process of my interview videos take anywhere from 8-15hrs of work. filming takes roughly 2hrs, editing is ridiculous! 6-10hrs since i'm learning as i go along. constant youtube surfing learning how to do the simplest of task. next week better be faster!!! i guess i get to strip my eyes away from this laptop once it's exporting...
i think moving forward i'll do like "study" "interview" videos every other week and fun dinky videos in between. i totally have to get into the nitty gritty of shameless self-promotion...soon...next week!
i plan on revamping mayawashington.com to showcase everything in a one-stop, links to my photography, this blog, twitter, instagram, facebook, videos, all things maya :)
it's happening, 48 more weeks to go!
the major plus about this all?! i start editing the trailer for my '80s doc and it doesn't seem so daunting now :)
practice, practice, practice!

The learning curve could be tall and steep but it's all flat open plains up top!
Editing is no joke!!! My hubby taught me on Vegas & we recently got the latest edition - a friend is a beta tester - and now I'm intimidated to learn again :/ this is inspiration to get it together and keep making videos - no excuses! #shameless ;)
