Less than two weeks ago I semi-retired my old Canon Rebel XSI with an upgrade to the new T2i that shoots 1080p digital video. Yesterday I went out to Tonopah Rob’s Vegetable Farm and started recording the flowers, bees, turkeys, chickens, the windmill, and a little bit of anything else that looked kind of interesting. After about four hours of unscripted shooting, I left for home and transferred the footage to my hard drive, and start importing it into Adobe Premiere. Don’t do something for 15 years and you are sure to get rusty and more certain than that, the software you may have once known to some degree has probably undergone some radical changes. I struggled some, watched more than a few tutorials on YouTube about editing video with Premiere, and by midnight I had a rough cut. Looking at my cut footage this morning there was some obvious need for further massaging of the video. But by the middle of the day, I felt that this was the best I was going to do after introducing myself to Hi-Def video and reacquainting myself with editing and so less than 36 hours after I embarked on this experiment, I am done. Here is the result with music by Joe Hisaishi.
