Phew!!!! My most exciting/stressful/fun/tedious/magical/successful/unfortunate/rewarding video project to date. [uploaded on 6/10/2012]

I would guesstimate that it took about 10.5 hours from filming to editing to exporting.
The editing part super stressful--but I'll probably laugh about it in the future. I've learned that with my computer at its current harddrive capacity, 4gb of ram, and using iMovie, you can't create a full fledged music video with hundreds of titles, effects, a lot going on in the video, plus music without it lagging when rendering or crashing entirely. I also had a very weird audio hiss that I cannot explain at all when I exported the entire project. Therefore I had to break up the project into 4 smaller projects, export it separately, and then combine it, and then add music to the muted projects, and then export it again.

I fared a little better with the filming portion, but also experienced a lot of bad luck. A lot of the scheduled filming days were always postphoned because of the rain and whatnot until one day I decided to just risk it. Luckily, it only rained intermittently on that day.

The music recording was pretty cool. All the memorizing, rehearsing, singing, and editing, was done in about 3 hours. =)

note: it's important to keep files as they are and not move or delete them until the final product has been finished exporting. Once you import something, it becomes a valuable source file. or maybe this is only the case with imovie.
