Today I started off jumping into Final Cut Pro 7, which is an older version than what the Friday Show uses, but I had fun. I endurably edited a 25-minute interview with Matt Crossett and Judge Reinhold from the film festival, which was cool. Toward the end of it they got into the economics of filmmaking, which it was pretty confusing. Then I edited another interview with Wes Studi, a Native American actor that I absolutely enjoyed editing it. Wes does a lot of films, and he is participating in his first animated film called Planes 2, by Pixar and Disney.
In the afternoon we set up this super elaborate set to film the news. I was pretty confused throughout setting it up because it is so complicated. They have six different lights and three different lighting systems and have a big green screen that they set up every Tuesday. Unlike The Friday Show’s set up, which we never take down, they have to break down their set every week because they share the space with other people.
The most crazy thing I saw with their set up was all the sound equipment, and four different monitors they have. There is this thing called the switcher, which allows them to have multi-camera angles and they edit the video live. Then the switcher connects to the hyperdeck, which makes everything go into one file and puts it onto two different drives.
I had to show up late for Track practice so I could witness the briefs, but from what I am feeling now it was worth it. There are a lot of things I could bring back to the Friday Show just from today.
Here is a picture of the set:
