I sat infront of Final Cut and After Effects for a total of about 3 hours working on this project. Normally it wouldn't take that long, but the internet was slow and I was trying to look up a tutorial on how to create a certain effect in After Effects. That didn't work out too well. After almost 2 hours, the page wasn't even half way done loading. So I skipped that part, deciding not to do it, and went ahead and created my text effects in AE. After a few crashes and long rendering time, it was time to hit the cutting room floor! Final Cut, I'm happy to say, was a joy working with after one failure and one near death experience with AE. After all was said and done, my project turned out fairly well.
I tried looking for that Samurai movie we watched in class last week, but was unable to find it even at movie stop. The only place I found it was on Amazon and I had no money in my account to purchase it. Though I liked the opening credits to that movie, I prefere a more grungy feel to my video's. The darker side of film, if you will. So thats what I tried to go for in my project. And as for the final project for this section of the class, I want to do something similar, so this was just practice. The real one will be more indepth and time consuming on the After Effects end of things. Anyway, this is Dib, signing off!

I despise the Mac keyboards. They suck.
