PayToLaugh - upload your pet, pick a topic, get a video of them weighing in
The owner's pictures could only be attached after the script existed, so the writer planned a piece in ignorance and the pictures were fitted to finished words afterwards. That is backwards. Making a video is now two steps. The project is created on hold, collateral is attached, and only then does the writer run — knowing it has a photograph of the actual product and eleven seconds of pool footage to write toward. Footage is a link plus an in and out point, set by scrubbing the video itself. The renderer already trimmed arbitrary sources with in/out, so this needed no change to the cut at all, only somewhere to put the information. |
