mapsedgeI had hoped to be able to make it out to Ren Fest next weekend to meet glesyn and raibeart, but I don't think it's going to happen.
I'm editing a video of a stage play - remember the entry about image stabilization? As much of a lifesaver as that is, and as much time as it will save, it's still a very lengthy process: accounting for not just the automatic processing but also the manual changes that have to be made along the way, it takes about fifteen minutes to process thirty seconds of footage.
The show was written for a woman with cancer, and it is her performance that leads the cast. She is failing - nearing the end of her life, probably - and her husband, the producer of the show, understandably wants to see a finished product before she dies. I agree.
If not for that, I wouldn't worry about it so much: it's been this long, what's a few more days? The situation has lit a fire under me to get the editing done. I plan to spend every waking moment that I'm not engaged in something more imperative on this video, and that process will bleed into the weekend.
So no ren fest for me this year.
