Life is so full of unexpected challenges.
As the media engine on this trip to Hong Kong (principal photography, executive producer, editor, web master and chief bottle washer) Drew has come to expect the unexpected. But he wasn’t expecting this. Our laptop crashed. Big-time. And so five days before we are scheduled to leave we are frantically trying to configure a production computer.
But we are making progress. The new machine is a cute little HP loaded with Vista. As the pround owner of this sleek little gem dad should be very excited. But alas, he is not. None of the production software we have tested works very well on the new machine (Avid, QTPro, Macromedia). In fact the Avid gives us the blue screen of death. Growing pains for sure. But we have moved over the PremierPro (thank you Adobe for building such a great app) and we seem to be back in business.
So here is the first of two tests as we try and figure out how we will get all this stuff to work in a few days. If you click the link on the right it will play full size. This video is Kat asking about flying fish at the Pike Place Market. We are testing the tool we use to compress and upload the video.
The next test will be to determine if our HD camera will work with the new video editing softare. And then we will be done. And the blog will be ready to go. And you won't have to endure our growing pains.
