Working out the kinks

I'm forcing myself to edit the middle bits of the movie as I'm feeling like not bothering myself to do it, but I must and I know what it needs to be, so I have to really...

Got 2 shots completed that I thought I couldn't fix. I've been of course teaching myself the finer points of after effects. I've gotten more skilled at it so I wanted to redo a few of my older blue screen shots.

Let me tell you a little bout my ass, I'm an idiot. I know that better than most. So when I go searching for the original blue screen files, I can't find them, boom, they're gone to outer space, I'm stuck with my original stuff....

I then give up and figure I'll just use what I got.

So I on a whim just decide to look for all my old footage in my backup drive using the 1980 date. Yep my phone was accidentally set to 1980 so all my footage is dated that. Shocked and amazed, I found it, I f'n found it. Must have been transfered over when I backed up my files from my old laptop.

I was through the moon to find it. I think I've found all my old footage, only bits and pieces are still lost that I'm not gonna bother trying to find, the key stuff is still here, still got that.

But yeah, I was blown off my ass to have found it.

So what now, gotta redo the shot I originally did so poorly due to being so naive about After fx. There's shit you can do in after fx that is truly out of this world stuff, top level techniques I'll not be attempting but yeah I knew with my current level of knowledge I could improve the keying... I mean in thet original shot I lost my fingers as the program had a tough time keeping them in the shot. So using more advanced techniques, got my fingers back, such a stupid thing to be happy about, but I'm a dumb ass.

Well moreso I added some bits to kinda make it look less lame and now it actually kinda works and functions. I'm sure I can redo the whole thing and get it to be perfect but I'm not, f that.

I just struggled to redo another shot completely from scratch instead of focusing on one part of the video and it was a horror show. Been rendering that again and again and ultimately just said screw it and am going to just go with the last render as is, not going to dedicate my life to this stuff.

What a sad twisted bastard I am to be f'n struggling to get this project finished. I mean I just want it to be over so bad...

It's good though. I mean, I know my shit when it comes to making movies, it's got style, coolness, the works. It'll be worth the trouble.
