Editing

We started editing the video from the Jan 28th performance at CAP Theater. It’s a bit of a process logging the tape, capturing the footage from both cameras into the computer, mixing sound and deciding what cuts to use to make it all look good. I’m not the one doing all the work. I get to watch with admiration at how savvy Alex is on computers.

Lonny Stevens, the director at CAP, and Alex Wilde, his producing partner and actor extraordinaire, are the guys putting the video together for me which will turn into a 3 song DVD when it’s all done. It’s nicer to have video rather than just audio on a live recording because it gives the viewer a total experience of what the performance was like.

It takes me awhile to get used to seeing myself on camera. Alex told me not to dissect what I’m looking at, so that made it easier for me to not be so critical of my mannerisms. I remember one time I saw some footage of myself and found out that I was scrunching my forehead. Now I don’t do that anymore. The camera doesn’t lie.

Blessings!
