How to Make a Monday

Hey y'all. At the risk of breaking the illusion, and driving you all insane with our banjo loop, I thought I'd give some insight into what it takes to edit a typical segment of I Love Mondays, from start to finish. So, in the immortal words of Jonesy, "here it is... at ten times speed."

As a wannabe video editor who still struggles with Final Cut Express, I demand more of this Drew! I'd name my child after you if you do provide!

You don't ever save? Wouldn't you get like super pissed if the power went out or something?
 
Also, nice. Looks pretty cool, but really long.

Not including render times, I Love Mondays takes about an hour to edit.

" Great video Drew! Is FCP your editing software of choice, or just the office standard? What if you don't have access to a high-end Mac? (Been looking for something to replace Premiere) "

I used Premiere before I started at Whiskey, but now that I use Final Cut every day, it's tough to go back. All the video producers (me, Vinny, Joey, and Ana) use Final Cut, and non-producers use iMovie most of the time (like when Ryan edits mailbag videos).

Wow man, that is incredible how much work goes into an ILM.  I can't imagine how long it would take me to do that but I have now I have an urge.  How long does it typically take you to do all that, not including render time.
 
Thanks for this.

For a second there I thought you were referring to ILM the visual effects company. I was going to say, if you thought there was a lot of work done for THIS clip...  ;)

I think the sign of great editing is making the viewer not realise how much time and effort goes into a video. I would love to see you do more of these.

The video is speeded up 10x and is 6 minutes long so it probably takes about an hour.

As someone who has dabbled in video editing before, I can tell you that it's always more work than it appears to be. Even a 30-second video (depending, of course, on its content) is probably going to be complicated enough to create to make the average casual viewer's head spin. Always appreciate the video editors. So much of the "magic" of a video can be attributed to them. (See any of the past few Thursday Night Throwdowns for an example.) "
I have some minor editing experience from a film class I took, and if I remember correctly, the teacher told us that the average is "5 hours of editing for every 5 minutes of film". Granted, that's for legit movies, not little video clips, but still. That shit takes a long ass time (although it's kinda fun, in weird sort of way). 
 
Also: Drew uses the white background? Whaaa??

Man now I understand why it takes such a long time to put a deceptively simple 2 minute video together. It's great to see the inner workings of  video editing.

I'm such a Final Cut geek, I understood pretty much all of it, even at 10 times the speed :(. Recognised the P2CMS app too.

Reading all the comments reminds me of college and having to show people how to use FCP :P

Hopefully a lot of people will see this and realise just how much work it takes to put together some of the stuff you guys do, and why it takes so much time to put these things together. Your hard work doesnt go  unappreciated.
