BLOG
Tips, tricks, news, photos, links, etc.
Mostly I am writing these posts as a reminder of what I have learned in an effort not to forget. I hope you will get something valuable out of them as well. My brother Ryan had a quote he loved, "A smart man learns for himself but a wise man learns from others." So my friend, be wise and learn from our mistakes and successes!
After much exploration and reading of forums, I finally found what I consider to be the best possible solution to fit a two and a half hour (150 minute) video onto one SD-DVD. Each of these three videos is over two hours, an average of 150 minutes, which is not an easily manipulated size, especially on hard media. I decided I would write this blog to help anyone else who may be struggling to get a quality export from Adobe Media Encoder to be used in DVD Studio Pro.
We are back home in Savannah after shooting for six weeks up in Michigan. We met a host of wonderful, generous, helpful people while we were there and shot a total of 18 interviews and countless hours of b-roll and time lapse video around the area. We have an excellent plan for the story (which evolved and morphed into something more fantastic than we could have even hoped for!) but there is a ton of work to be done before this film will be available for your viewing pleasure. Sit tight and we will let you know as the process progresses!
Quick update! Just finished up a video for Moment For Life Photography last week and we are very pleased with the outcome. Candace was a pleasure to work with and we are looking forward to partnering with her again soon!
