Today my friend borrowed a huge awesome tripod from a teacher. thing seriously weighed 30 pounds, but it was so smooth. So he threw his camera in a backpack and carried that, and I carried this tripod around in one hand all day. He decided to shoot in 1080p, which would be great except for the fact that his camera drops the frame rate to 20fps at that resolution...which gets bumped up to 24fps when I render, throwing the audio out of sync, making the entire day's footage useless. f*ck me.
So I was out throwing my frisbee around drunkenly with my buddies and came across this cat that was all over us. Super skinny, like freakishly skinny and limping. We decide we're gonna feed it something and lure it back to our apartment. Right at my door a guy comes out asking what we are doing with his cat. Apparently he was watching us the whole time while we "stole" his cat.

This. Doesn't. Make. Sense. What f*cking camera shoots 1080P at only 20fps? It sounds like your footage and your sequence settings and your export settings all have different frame rates and resolutions. I have no idea what camera your friend used, but I'm assuming it's a handy cam. Which I would assume to shoot at 30P/29.97 as a default HD frame rate, 24P would make sense too. I'm also assuming you're smart and haven't formatted the card/tape that the footage was on. Which editing program are you using?
Alright well we've already hashed this out on Facebook but just in case anyone is Googling this -
Canon T1i shoots 720 @ 30fps, and 1080 @ 20fps. Bullshit, but there it is. H264 can't output 20fps, bumps it up to 23.76whatever. It leaves the audio alone, which is a problem. Adobe Media Encoder and AfterEffects CS5 were powerless to stop this. MPEG Streamclip did it perfectly.
Hey guys...Haven't posted in a while because I've been very sick again. I went to see Van Halen on Friday night which absolutely blew my mind. 13 year old me sent a time warping high five!
I woke up Saturday morning with a major head ache, stuffed nose, and sore throat. I'm on antibiotics as of last night, but they haven't kicked in yet. I had Strep throat not even a month earlier. Being on Remicade and having my immune system suppressed isn't much fun haha. I've been laying in bed doing nothing for the last little while.
I dislocated my shoulder PROPER today grabbed a tree looking for a trail standing in snow fell awkwardly holding the tree shoulder banged out. Now I have no job an injury that probably need a week or so and opening day is 3 days away yay for moving to whistler
Nice for getting to see Van Halen. I remember missing them (I was on some camping trip, although I made out with my then girlfriend all week which was cool for a 15 year old) in grade 8. My buddy went and said it was awesome and I kept thinking about it all week.
I went out today to get some good clothes for my internship. Get a call telling me what to expect on the first day and find out it's business casual and that they "will look at you funny if you come in a suit or wear a tie". Welp, looks like I'm returning most of this stuff tomorrow.
You guys know that show Savage U on MTV? It came on earlier while I was reading and I looked up and boom there is a girl who was a year younger than me and went to high school with me asking Dan Savage for advice on how to ask about her boyfriend about having a threesome with her and someone else. LOL.
I bet I would have, if I slept at all. Started playin' D3 at 8 because the servers were failing all day (LOL), got my Demon Hunter to level 5 and found some swanky ass rare boots, (Stinkmeaner#1319 if anyone else plays) then around 930 I'm informed of a plan involving my old college drinking chum and his attractive single friend (with whom I've only talked to randomly on social networks a couple times) heading to a strip club. Told him I'd be down but I couldn't drink due to 9-5 life, all good as bongs were being loaded. I get to their house around 10, to find the chick, we'll call her Mel, already on her way to drunk town playing beer pong. Things are looking good. So we chill there, they proceed to finish a couple more rounds of beer pong, then we proceed to smoking. All is well, then Mel and my ol' drinkin' chum decide to do shots while I concentrate on making the vase bubble some more. Mel disappears, the rest of us continue to smoke. Twenty minutes later I get a rumblin' in my tum, so myself and my drankin' chum head to the store for munchies (chips and a 5 hour energy, extra strength). We get back, munch out, and I drink about half of the energy shot. Mel is full fledge passed out on the couch. Awesome. The other roomies in the house are gay, so the strip club mission turns into a two-man adventure. We head down at about 12:15, and decide to sit in perve row. Literally within 5 minutes two snaggle-toothed dancers pop a squat at our table, followed by a waitress who I recognize from high school except she's gained about 30 pounds. Thankfully she didn't recognize me, I'm attributing it to my facial hair and weighing about 40 pounds less. They're all going nuts so I buy a round of shots for everyone ($30) just to get them to settle down and so the waitress would f*ck off. They eventually attempt to convince us to get them to do a lesbian show, which would cost $40 per dancer, per person, per song. Just so happens that's a bit out of my price range. Then they ask us to smoke a joint, but only if we get them to do a show after. No joint on this planet is worth $80, I don't care if it's platinum purple OG skunk. So we tell the ladies we're going to step outside for a cigarette and mull things over. At this point I'm ready to call it a night, but Mike manages to convince me to stick it out for a couple of more dances. We watch a couple of more girls perform, nothing out of the ordinary happens. Then, easily the two hottest chicks there sit next to us. This would be awesome, if only they had been the ones to sit next to us at the beginning of the night, rather than the snaggle-toothed broads. We politely shut them down, which sucked because they were actually nice as far as strippers go. We watch one more dance, then I call it a night and head home. I get home at 1:45, which leaves me with roughly six hours sleep. Or at least it would have, had I not drank half of the f*cking 5 hour energy. 4AM rolls around, I barely drift off to sleep. During the next 4 hours I'm woken up pretty much every hour by my roommates getting up for work. In short, I skipped slaying the f*ck out of the undead to chase vagina that ended up passing out, the strip club was an absolute bust, and I got about 3 hours max of disturbed sleep. On the bright side today, Raekwon is playing here in a month, and I got asked to film the TEDx event happening here in a couple of weeks.
