Surviving a Shoot with 27 Interviews

Today I had a shoot for the Towson University Student government Association.  This is a project that I've produced for the group for 13 out of the last 15 years.

At today's shoot, I interviewed 27 people.  I used a great app by Digital Rebellion called "Cut Notes."  This app allows me to log soundbites in real time by customizing buttons with words or a phrase.  When I push the button, Cut Notes records the timecode and the shortcut I created.  I set up a button for each question I asked, another button for good takes and another for bad takes.  What a lifesaver!!  All my logging was done by the time I got back to the office.

​Check out Cut Notes today.  It's well worth the cost.
