I decided to enter the 3 Minute Masterpiece contest. I didn’t have much time between my return from Hawaii and the deadline (6 days). Not only did I have to get myself a new camcorder, but I also had to plan, shoot, cut, and put visual f/x together. I couldn’t have done it without my family’s support.
I really wasn’t sure if I could pull it together in 6 days. It took probably close to 40 hours of effort, all told, to shoot and cut a 3-minute piece. I feel for those folks out there who do this every week for a 46-minute show. Of course, they’re pros and I’m just a newbie.
It’s not everything I had hoped for, but I think it’s pretty good. Here it is. You can also see the HD version on YouTube.
