Monday:
I started the day off editing. After 20-30 minutes After Effects crashed on me. I had to restart my video because I had just started and I hadn't saved anything yet. I worked hard for the rest of the day. The logo that I had got deleted so I had to go back in illustrator and save it. I got about 1/3 of the way done.

Tuesday:
Half of our time today was spent sitting in on a video conference about Industrial Engineering. We could ask the people presenting questions about their job. Since that took up majority of my day I didn't get a whole lot of work done. I filmed my video with a Gopro. Gopro's film with a very wide angled view. There was a clip that I needed to use where I had to crop out a part becasue it captured me in the picture. I watched a video a few times to understand how to crop it. It wouldn't work when I did it so I went back a couple more times to the video to make sure I was doing everything the correct way. I followed each step of the video correctly but it wasn't working for me.

To be able to crop it I needed to click Crop Comp to Region of Interest.
Wednesday:
I got a lot of work done today. I finished the edits of the video today. All I need to do now is put in the Lens flare and text tracking. I also texted my brother asking him if he had a slogan for the company he has so I could put that in the text tracking. He ending up not having one...

Thursday:
For the first period I spent a lot of my time updating and catching up with my blog posts. I also uploaded the video you see above to youtube. I uploaded it to my google drive yesterday but I thought it might be easier to watch from youtube. While putting in the motion tracking text I had to watch the video to refresh my memory on how to do it. When After Effects crashed my lens flare composition was lot. I have the clip of the flare but I couldn't put it into my video. In the final video I used a preset lens flare that After Effects provided. I finished the video and tried uploading it to youtube but It took a long time to upload. So I don't have a link to that yet.

Friday:
I got my video uploaded to youtube. That means I'm finally done with my starter project. I wish I could have done more with the video but since it was my first time and I was getting a feel for the program I think I did reasonably well. I'm going to switch tracks because I want to learn different things. I still want to work with video so in my free time I might throw some clips together real quick. I started putting my starter proposal together but then my friend and I came up with this idea of making a 2D Rubens tube. We were really intrigued by the idea and asked Scott about it. He said it was definitely doable. My partner and I did some research on the board. I found the people who made the board and I'm writing an email to them asking what materials they used and how they completed it. At the end of the day we decided that we wanted to start with a normal Rubens tube then once we finish we will attempt the 2D version.
