The 1-hr Video Challenge: Icy Cold from LindsayT on Vimeo.

I’ve noticed that one video can take me up to 8 hours to actually edit because I get caught up in the nitty gritty of production – Is that transition right? Are the fonts all the same? Is the sound level consistent throughout? I need to be able to reduce the amount of time I dedicate to each video because I simply don’t want to spend my entire trip sitting at the computer! So today I decided to take a set of clips and make a movie – in just a 1 hr time frame!

Here’s the story:

Steph and I missed our bus to Manhattan from Philadelphia on one of the coldest days so far this winter. We waited for an hour for the next bus, and had to do that waiting outside in order to keep our place in line. To distract us from the cold, I decided to turn on the video camera and have a little fun. Here’s what happened!

Calvin Harris – Acceptable in the 80’s

Mummers’ Guide to Fun from LindsayT on Vimeo.

The Philadelphia Mummers Parade occurs every New Years Day, and is as much an institution of the city as the Liberty Bell, Rocky, and sports fanatics. It’s also in trouble and could use help! Please visit www.SaveTheMummers.com and plan on coming next year!

For those of you not from Philadelphia, the Mummers Parade can be summed up as a combination of San Francisco’s Bay to Breakers, New Orleans’ Mardi Gras and a good ole’ fashion marching band parade.

Tracks:
(in order)
Survivor – Eye of the Tiger
Calvin Harris – Neon Rocks, Colours, I Created Disco, Disco Heat, The Girls, Acceptable in the 80’s (Buy “I Created Disco” the album)
