WANL Videos Complete

Another full day, which began by dropping off paintings to Nantwich Museum for the open. Delivery is from 10:00 to 16:00 over 4 days and we (quite typically) arrived at 09:58 on the first day.

After that, charged into more video work. I had a few changes to make, but much of the long day was spent rendering and processing the video data. Each video takes about twice as long to render as to play, then about the same to convert from raw to mp4. I needed to convert some videos three times: once with subtitles, once without, and one in lower quality for archiving, and that assumes that a first version has no problems or things to change. Ultimately it took until 16:30 to complete the final drafts of the 6 videos, at which point I could start work on the Spotify Canvases.

It's now 20:00 and all videos are complete and uploaded. The full album project is now complete.

At times during the day, while waiting for FFMpeg to chug through the video data, I worked on some framing. I changed the glass on the 'Home Life' painting, and tidied up two other frames, including one I bought today in Nantwich.
