First project back, and oh boy, it's a stinker! 60 Seconds: Fencing is my first debut into the field of "informational topics that I need a lot more time to talk about than sixty seconds, but what can you do". In all seriousness, I wanted to pick one of my not as niche hobbies and try to explain it. Unfortunately, there's a lot to go through with fencing. A lot a lot a lot.
1: Materials and Filming Filming an accurate set of materials was pretty easy. All I needed was a way to show off the sword, the jacket, and the helmet. Unfortunately, when it comes to cinematography I am hardly that creative, so most of the shots regarding those wound up being bland. For the explanation of the movements themselves I didn't need to worry that much as the camera would have to keep still to point out information, but the angle or position could've been shot better. Some of the shots with the full body were dreadfully cut off as well from the height being an issue. Overall, most of the scenes I wanted had to be spliced badly from the cutoff. 2: Sound Recording Recording all of the various audio took ages. I think I rerecorded the audio for everything about three times for the full video itself. It certainly took a while! But in the end everything got mixed up fine, and there weren't any glaring audio issues. But sorting and filtering and re-recording took a very long time to get through. 3. What next? I really don't like this video much at all. I think it's pretty terrible even if the idea was sound. My predictions of it's score was pretty correct, and most of the footage I have absolutely needs to be reworked from the ground up (literally, the camera cut things off from being too close to the ground) and the editing choices also will have to be realigned to fit this. But I think there's a nugget of good concept here, even if the format is terrible. By the end I doubt I can work it into sixty seconds.
