On the night of July 19th, 2004 I decided I would wake up early and set the project for out the next day. Simple. Wake up at 6, set the cameras up and wire everything outside, start the computers capturing and go inside to watch over the project - I recently set up a second computer to capture both cameras directly to DV-NTSC so I wouldn’t have to capture anything later on, just throw the files on the timeline, sync the 2 raw DV files to each other in Final Cut and save me half the work - one day of the project can take up to 3 weeks or so to completely finalize, most taking at least 4 hours to edit completely. The last day’s edit of the project this year, September 2nd, wasn’t finalized until mid-November. Anyway, I woke up at 5:30, not at all in the mood to do anything. I set the cameras up, half-asleep, put the platform out with some nuts, falling over about 4 or so times on the wires and almost knocking over the cameras twice, went inside and started the computers (after screwing with the connection to one of them for 10 minutes - the cable didn’t work), fixed the audio (it had a real annoying buzz in the signal), etc., etc., etc. and went back to bed. Nothing really amazing happened during the time I tried to get back to sleep (nope, I didn’t get back to sleep…) so I went back to check on the project… (→ continue on with July 20, 2004 - One -=Destructive=- Squirrel!)
