Sam was having a bad day this morning. He was trying to play a new game on his Orange but it was frustrating him, and it eventually led to a bit of a meltdown. A meltdown so early in the day can bode ill for the Williams household. <\/p>\n
I began a valiant effort to turn his day back around by suggesting he could make a video about all of his Godzillas. Sam sometimes fancies himself a YouTuber and is known to emit phrases such as, “Make sure you SLAM that like button!” or “Hey guys, welcome to another video!” I had been resisting the Godzilla video because I knew it would take up a lot of time . . . and gigabytes!<\/p>\n
Suggesting the video idea to Sam got him in a better mood quickly, and so we made our video. He talked for thirty-two (32!!!) minutes about all of his Godzilla toys. He detailed each one, explained what he liked about them, and then arranged them for the camera. Very cute stuff.<\/p>\n
Later this afternoon, I began the arduous task of editing the video in iMovie on my phone. I was able to cut that 32 minutes down to just 16, and I even added little text notes and flairs. It was now Super Cutetm<\/sup>.<\/p>\n But when I tried to save the video out of the iMovie app, it was fussing at me, saying it needed more hard space. Of course it does! There’s a 32 minute video on my phone, along with a 16 minute one! So I cleared up some space, shifted things off here and yonder, but no dice. It just wouldn’t work.<\/p>\n So I thought, “Well, the iMovie has the 16 minute file, so I don’t need the 32 minute one anymore!”<\/p>\n *delete*<\/p>\n And then iMovie deigned to tell me how it worked — it still needed the original video to make that saved cut. And it is GONE.<\/p>\n Gone gone gone.<\/p>\n So Sam is in a good mood . . . but I’m pretty pissed at myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sam was having a bad day this morning.
