Dec. 22nd, 2021 10:24 pmThings done today:
1. More photo editing. I am very tired of photo editing. I have so many more photos to edit. *slumps wearily over desk*
2. Wrangled Mr. Geniality down to the Commons to shoot an intro clip for an apartment he videoed on his own (probably on a Tuesday, which is my day off) during the period his voice was lost. He didn't tell me he made that video, so it wasn't in my spreadsheet (even though I apparently downloaded it from the iPhone to our office drive???), so it wasn't on my list of apartments that needed intro clips, and so we didn't shoot an intro when we slammed through several dozen of them in a week. But that is now remedied.
3. Further wrangled Mr. Geniality into recording another set of voiceover clips. And THIS TIME, I wrote the apartment names on a post-it and told him to aim the iPhone camera at the note so I could tell which videos went with which units! \o/
4. Did my own voiceover clip for a different apartment, and then wrote up the absurdly complicated instructions for our social media guy so he can edit the video clips into something functional. The problem is that I shot the base video back when I was just starting to do videos without Mr. Geniality, and I hadn't figured out yet that apartment videography works better if I narrate the tour, even if I'm just mumbling to myself in the expectation of a later voiceover. So the timing was a godawful mess, and I did the whole thing as a single 5:11 take. *headdesk
Anyway, I did the voiceover as four separate clips and gave Social Media Guy the best time markers I could in the instructions. We shall see if he manages to Frankenstein anything useful out of that disaster.
5. Filled my gas tank in preparation for driving to NJ.
6. Made a charitable donation on Susan's behalf as her Christmas present. On that note, I wish more charities had an option in their online donation flow to note that a donation is on behalf of someone else and my name should not be added to their mailing list -- I will not become a recurring donor and pestering me is a waste of their time and money. For example, I STILL get "to our sister in Christ" junk mail from the United Methodist Committee on Relief because of a donation I made in someone else's name almost five years ago. I'm not Methodist! I'm not even Christian!! *headdesks forever*
And now I think I shall go to bed, because I have a bunch of tasks left for the morning and I would prefer to be awake for them and for my drive.
