Along with usual amount of insanity that was thrown my way this week, I decided to add to it by playing around with some overdue movie projects I had cluttering up my computer. First on my hit list was this footage from back in February of 2005 when Christo and Jeanne-Claude‘s “The Gates” was set up for public consumption.
A Sunday at the Gates (2:56)
It certainly isn’t the first (YouTube has many, many more clips that showed up in a much more timely fashion), and I can’t say it’s the greatest — modesty prevents me from that. I can say, however, that it is the latest. ^_^
Of course, the real impetus in all of this was giving myself some kind of subject matter to practice with as I made the transition from the iMovie workflow to working with the professional grade Final Cut Pro. I took to it fairly well, too. I think I went from zero experience to first completed video took about 6 hours total. Granted, it’s still a very rudimentary understanding, but I’m sure that will grow the more I play with it.
