ahh! technology
Posted by Allison Mack | Filed under Blog
OK!
So, I am trying to make this cool, funky interesting video blog about how we made Crossed Wires, sort of following the whole process of creating the play and yadda yadda yadda! And I swear to you I spend about 3 hours… OK, that’s a lie, more like 1 hour or maybe 30 minutes trying to figure out how to do all the cool stuff I see in my head and on tv.
Oy! Learning something new is rough man, rough!
But stay tuned for my amazing creations

June 7th, 2009 at 7:50 amI gave up trying to figure out computers a while ago…ten years ago everything was so simple, lol. Beyond checking my e-mail and unloading pictures I’m kinda useless.
Keep at it — 30min to an hour isn’t THAT long. Everytime something frustrates me I try adding something I like to it, like putting on my headphones or eating a bowl of ice cream.
Good luck

June 7th, 2009 at 7:52 amHi Allison,
I hope you can realise all the stuff you see in your head. That’s always quite difficult. I know that. Sometimes I see something so fantastic and clear in my mind, but when it comes to realisation I’ve got my problems. Yet, I don’t give up until I could realise my creation… at least as good as I saw it in my mind… or even better.

June 7th, 2009 at 7:57 amWhat can i say, my boss wanted me to be multiclass, now i’m working on a friends workplace, different area, and i’m on IT, so, yeah, i agree, learning is rough, but for some of us, is not an option, BTW, everytime i learn something new, something old goes away, slooooooowly, i had to re-learn what i was supposed to do today.

June 7th, 2009 at 7:58 amI remember the first time I ever looked at a computer and thought, “Pft, this is of no use to me unless I plan on working in an office the rest of my life!” Sitting here, typing this as a comment to your blog entry on the internet, it’s amusing to see how much that’s all changed. Also, the good thing about learning a computer program is even though it’s a pain to learn in the beginning (with the whole imagination versus limitations, like you mentioned), things just get more creative from there once you do. Good luck!

June 7th, 2009 at 8:43 amThat’s the beauty of writing. The only thing you really need the computer for is to do the writing bit. It’s the creation of what you need to write, that’s the chore. So I guess you and I are in the same boat today, all of this stuff rambling around in our craniums and needing an outlet. Maybe another cup of coffee will help.

June 7th, 2009 at 10:09 amI had an assignment once that kept me behind the computer for 72 hours straight (I got up occationally for food or washroom). With computer you have to learn how to love the process as well as result or you’ll never make it. And that love usually doesn’t come naturally.

June 7th, 2009 at 10:33 amHi Allison.
It is always the first time that it is difficult. After a few times it becomes automatic because it was not necessary to concentrate. Our learning is sometimes painful. Be patient is the key to success.
Good luck.
Some technologies are easier to use. I use Windowmedia maker. I look forward to your videoblog.
Soon you begin your new movie. When and where? How many days of shooting are planned?Have a good day.

Lea Says:
June 7th, 2009 at 10:37 amYou’ll LOVE it once you start.
It is hard and probably you’ll mess up a thousand times (I’m serious) but learning this way, by yourself is the best way IMO. If it gets too hard just ask for help.
Learning is fun!!

Have you visited Argentina? I live in Mendoza where the Aconcagua is settled. You are invited to my country and obviously my home whenever you want!!! Mendoza is one of the most beautiful provinces of Argentina. People from around the world love it! You can see the fantastic view of the mountains from my house! It is a nature’s miracle, really! -

Ruthie Says:
June 7th, 2009 at 11:28 amYay! I was hoping you’d give us a look into “the making” of crosswires…and a video blog, even better. I would love to hear your interpretation and thoughts on the show and not only how it was birthed but any personal insights you gained from the story itself as you all created and performed it.
looking forward to the video blog

June 7th, 2009 at 11:32 amHaha I know what you mean Technology is crazy. Like this show thats going to be on tv about how scientists are creating these robots or what not I feel like in a couple of hundred years human kind is not going to exist because of how good the technology is going so I don’t know it’s scary to think about.
But I can’t wait to see what you are coming up with
.How is your kitty doing?
Take Care,
Susana

June 7th, 2009 at 2:16 pmHey Allison! Can’t wait to see this creation of yours. This is random, but it came to me. I hate it how when you have an idea in your head that’s brilliant and pictured a certain way, but then the outcome is totally different! It always happens to me. But sometimes the outcome is even better then I planned!
Much love & support,
BrittanyXOXOXO -

June 7th, 2009 at 2:40 pmTechnology is amazing but complicated when you dont know about it, wow is it wonderful that you took only 30 minutes making the video, Im sometimes take more time to do simple things in the Pc.
But when you practice and you have hand the things fo more fast.
I really want to see the video and your creativity.grettings.

June 7th, 2009 at 3:15 pmHey Allison!
I hope all is well!
One thing i’ve learned when it comes to computers,is that i figure things out better alone.Trial and error works the best for me.And Google is your best friend!
Cant wait to see the video!

June 7th, 2009 at 7:59 pmAh Allison I know just how you feel.I suck when it comes to computers and technology.I always have to ask my little sister how to use something.It usually makes me feel stupid.And when I ask her how she figured it out she responds “You just have to mess around with it”Normally she’s right,it’s just I’m the kind of person that likes to read a manual instead of just clicking anywhere.Though I guess that’s the reason I always take so long.30 minutes to an hour isn’t bad,sometimes I’ll take longer,so don’t feel bad.Your a really intelligent girl who can do anything she puts her mind to.
I am so glad you will be making a video blog on Crossed Wires.That really excites me.Hearing yout thoughts on the experiance will be so awesome.I know the tidbits on the video blogs following the days were really cool.I am really looking forward to seeing it,can’t wait till you post it.I’m sure it’s going to turn out fantastic.

June 8th, 2009 at 1:16 amLearning how to use stuff you don’t know how to use can be a bitch. I hate it when that happens and you spend ages trying to figure it out and you just can’t.
Good luck with that Ally.
You’ll work it out!xoxo
