Strategies / Theories / Workflow on how to approach a video project — HELP!!

[Edward Troxel]

refrain: 1. Text or music that is repeated within a larger form.
2. A verse which repeats throughout a song or poem at given intervals.

verse: 1. Solo passage from the Gradual which precedes the response. See respond.
2. In poetry or song, a verse is a group of lines which constitutes a unit. Often there are several verses in a single text, and usually the rhyme scheme, rhythm, and number of poetic lines and feet are the same from verse to verse in a single text.

chorus:1. A fairly large company of singers who perform together, usually in parts.
2. A composition to be performed by a chorus.
3. The refrain of a song.

bridge: 1. Transitional passage connecting two sections of a composition, also transition.
2. Also the part of a string instrument that holds the strings in place.

[jgordon] “I can ALWAYS find stuff that I want to change everytime I review the video I’m working on.”

What makes a woman beautyful exactly?
There’s no real answer.

OK, you review it more times, but the importance of those changes you find to make are always getting less, they are more minor at every review.
Am I right?

Just set up a threshold.

Usually when I just like the things on the timeline, then I go further.
When I rendered it, make the DVD of it, and burn it ot
REWRITABLE media.

I have a look at it on a standalone DVD player and a normal TV.
This is somehow different from looking at it on computer,
really don’t know why.

At this stage I note the errors and my dislikes on a piece of paper.
I always find some mistake in the final product, either a cut or transition that could be better done, or something in the DVD’s menu
structure…
(There are always some errors.)

I go back to editing and rerendering if necessary, burn to rewritable again.
At this second review I usually find it OK.

This is the time when I show it to others, when it’s about a work
for a 3rd party, I invite the client to my home and watch the final
product together.
Make some cover for the DVD, for this there’s no recipe,
what enters my mind…

When he/she/they like(s) it too then just burn it out,
this takes couple minutes (15..30 minutes).
Print cover and it’s done.
