Transcribing is mind-numbing. Mind. Numbing. I have over an hour of video to transcribe. But then I'm done for a few months!
Oh, I don't like that I'm done...
#so heres the thing#i have a project I'm doing. a video transcribing prohect#i work at a summer camp and at the end of the week we tell this legend of the beginnings of camp#the teller switches around. the story changes. its a good time#its been being told for decades. DECADES!!#so im finding as many videos and transcripts of the story as i can and putting them together in a fun little document#some kind people sent me their transcripts alreay in word form. whoch was easier to work with but not as fun#its so much cooler to have videos#you can hear the crackling of the fire. the whispers of the crickets. the audience gasping#but i love the ones that are already written and emailed to me because i just have to copy and paste#EXCEPT FOR ONE#it was like the third one i got#hes a writer and it was really gorgeous and cool#but god almighty it was a nightmare to transfer to my document#he had two spaces between ALMOST every word. i had to go through and delete so many spaces#he also had footnotes about his thought processes and inspirations#so fucking cool#but it was not easy to transfer that either#i swear fixing his formatting was more difficult than transcribing a forty minute video#such a great story tho seriously#but now. i have the last two videos that i know of#and one of them is of the first time i heard the story. as a camper there. and the teller is an old friend that i can no longer speak to#i think thats gonna be a difficult one to get through#but once i finish those two videos. thats it#ill be able to collect new videos every summer but ive finished the hardest work. ive reached a sprt of end#ive been working on this project for quite awhile. its been my pride and joy. and now its almost over#i just need to write the preface and then i can send it to people#the preface has been escaping me tho. i cant do it#this project will be passed down to tellers hopefully for as long as the story exists. so i need a good preface#idk its a lot of pressure but also so exciting and scary
