Mexico City 1995: Watch the Video
Although we took this trip in 1995, I didn't get around to editing until 2012. That seventeen-year lag sets my personal best procrastination record! But the good news is that the delay enable me to edit with Final Cut Pro X for the first time!
This ten-minute movie is a bit longer than typical for these discussions, so the purpose of this week's posting is to simply allow you to watch in its entirety. Next week we'll analyze and see what we can learn from the edit.
Here's the video structure: An alarm rings to wake you up, then an animated map reveals that our destination is Mexico. A photo montage introduces our four travelers, then there's live video at the city center, an archeological site, a ride on the metro, and walk through a market. Heroic music then introduces the murals and sculptures at Colegio Militar.
Mood swings to lighthearted, and some pretty lame video gags accompany a look at the residence of former president Porferio Diaz and the Anthropological Museum. This "comedic" onslaught continues with a demonstration of the hotel's plumbing and during the movie's final moments at the nearby pyramids at Teothuacan. Tourists dare one another to climb all the way to the top, but discover that the biggest challenges are the steep downhill steps!
OK, hope you enjoyed it! Next week we'll dissect, analyze, and hopefully learn a few editing tricks.
