"Alright, bi - girls, so Lunchbox says you should have some footage already," Jay said when their two remaining students arrived in the A/V lab. "'Cause fatass is gonna teach you guys how to edit it or some shit like that."

Silent Bob just rolled his eyes and gestured the girls over to one of the computers in the lab, showing them how to log in and download their footage from the cameras. His practice reel was of life outside the Kwik Stop, meaning lots of Jay being loud and offensive, some dancing, a random shot of a stray cat, and a few people going by. Jude skated through the shot, then skated by, saluting with one of the two large slurpees in his hand. Bob had turned the camera to follow his progress down the street.

Once that was done, and once again conducting the entire lesson without saying a word, Silent Bob took them through the various editing features and special effects, from titles to overlays to editing to adding music to playing with colours. He replayed the Jude segment at an excelerated speed, making his movements jerky and comical, with an overlay of the Benny Hill theme. Then again in slow motion, with a dramatic, sweeping orchestral theme that made it suitably dramatic.

When he had gone through all the features he stepped back, encouraging the girls to experiment and have fun with their own clips.

Go forth and frolic, my ducks.

Pippi has a bunch of footage already of interviews, so she fiddles about with clever cutting and splicing. She also tries pulling the sound from one clip and laying it over the visual from another.

First, it doesn't really help that Sakurazaki stayed up all night working on something. Second, it doesn't really help much more that, although her burn has died down, her face is still impossibly red through almost all of the sample footage, for some odd reason. Finally, it also doesn't help that, especially compared to Pippi, she's got crap for footage so far (she blames, of course, the art fair).

There is the few random interviews that won't really help with anything from when she first got the camera, and the interview from class which is helpful, and her ~~handwavey~~ footage of weapons demonstrations by Miho, and that's a lot of fun to play with. After she starts working with the program, she gets really wrapped into it. If it weren't for the fact that her documentary was about swords, she might have actually even forgotten for a while about Yuunagi.

Will be slowplayed like mad if you do.

"Um," there's some fiddling with fingers and definate blushes as Sakurazaki approaches them...well, Silent Bob, anyway. "This doesn't really have anything to do with anything, sensei, but...that footage wouldn't happen to have been taken on Friday by any chance, was it?"

Silent Bob looked at her curiously as he nodded.

"Oh, okay, thanks; I was just kinda wondering. See you next week, sensei." She leaves the room as quickly as she can without outright flouncing. There's a pretty red blush again, but a smirk behind it. Ha. She knew that was her slurpee.

Aaaaaaaand scene.
