Salsa Orchestra Intro

The Kauai documentary is close to being finished. I guess, more accurately it should be called the documentary of the Salsa Orchestra/Brass Quintet tour in Kauai. This is just a few opening seconds. I was involved in filming this project, am responsible for the editing and distribution, and also graphics. There is a cool title sequence at the end of this one, so be patient through the beginning.

I had a near catastrophe with this video. It was edited on a 1 terabyte external hard drive, until one day I smelled something burning in the area of the hard drive. Sure enough, my hard drive seemed to be burning. To make a long story short, we thought all was lost and that I was going to have to start over. Fortunately, a very helpful fellow over at the TV studio was able to salvage the files, and I am actually now using the hard drive, now converted to an internal drive, to finish the edit.

This all after a long wait for follow up work to be done on the video, including interviews, script writing, etc. Its been a pretty long turnaround, but sometimes that happens here at the school.
