The Langham Hotel (330 North Wabash Avenue ,\u00a0Chicago, IL) was my home for a 24 hour period recently. I was on-site to edit 36 short videos in about 12 hours time, and to deliver them all by 7am the next morning. While, on paper, it was a pretty easy job – it turned out to be somewhat of a challenge because of my recent switch from Final Cut Pro 7 to Adobe Premiere CC. The job itself went great right up until it was time to export all 36 sequences. That’s when I started having major issues, including offline media (that wasn’t really offline at all), hold frame issues and on and on. If I had had a single sequence it wouldn’t have been a issue, but because I had 36 I ended up being up all hours of the night making sure things were going to be ready in time.<\/p>\n

While this may come off as complaining it’s really not. I expected problems and unexpected surprises when I decided to switch this year and I have not been let down. And if I was going to be stuck doing a long edit anywhere, being in a 5-star hotel in Chicago is not the worst place to be. It was actually pretty awesome.<\/p>\n

So as it became obvious toward the end of the day that the edit was going to go into the evening hours, the client arranged for me to have a room in the same hotel I was working (The Langham). It was hands down one of the best rooms I’ve ever stayed in. I couldn’t help myself from ordering room service at 2am just because I could.<\/p>\n
