I am mostly a calm and cool person. No, I mean it. I do not think Uni is stressful or a lot of work because I am a workaholic. Love to style and shoot on holidays and be on time in class with my steaming coffee mug!
You must think what this letter is about. The digital branding and communication unit was fun. The film was shot in a day. I had no cuts and edits but just one single shot that was finalized for the screening. And everything felt complete after receiving a positive feedback in the 7th week of the term.
But the outcome didn’t satisfy me as I am always the one to go the hard way. I realized that just adding a black and white effect to the whole film made it look a little flat and that the essence of the logo was being taken away. So I began to learn various methods used in Adobe After Effects that would help me color nothing else but the logo in the final film. The film has 762 frames out of which I edited 412 frames to acquire the accurate Red color of the balloon symbolizing the PLAY logo.
Only if problems were 412 times easier to solve, after editing the clip I was told that as my video was shot in 4k the exporting time of the clip was 10 or more. This took my entire day with no great outcome. So the film had to be edited on a more advanced machine using the same technique again! Im confident about the film’s message from Comme Des Garçon and do not wish to compromise. So I am going to eat some popcorn while I hustle and edit. Excited to to be the premier showcase tomorrow at the screening!
Still stared at by the balloon,
Suhani Lotlikar.
