The video I am about to share with you is one I am very proud of! Not only did I use my video editing skills to put this piece together, but I also used a set of new skills that I convinced myself I could never have - animation. Now, this may be viewed as a very primitive form of animation, but for someone who has never done this, who has believed she could never pull this off ... I say primitive my tush! It took me about a week and a half to complete this. It started off as one sequence and ended with sequence no.6 with no relation what-so-ever to the first sequence (most video editors may understand what I mean).
I used three programs to make this video, the main one was Photoshop. Taking each image into different layers, cutting, trimming, distorting, rotating and resizing. Then, I imported them into Final Cut Express where the still images came to life! Live Type was used for animating and making the font. Voila! My first animated short came alive! This is another piece that I contributed to hitRECord. This one was for the Creepy Collab.

I present to you another one of my animated videos! Like the video in the previous post, this one was another contribution to the hitRECord "Little Smokestacks - Short Film Collaboration" byFauxFix Like in the other video the editing and the animating of all the still illustrations was done by me.
This is one of my first videos where I've attempted to animate a still image! 'Kissing in the Snow', is a contribution to the HitRECord,'Little Smokestacks' Short Film. It's a beautiful winter song by FauxFix
and they have called on all artists to contribute their work and make
this beautiful song into a magical music video. So, I contributed my
editing skills!
'Artist dry spells' can be a huge motivation if you know how to take advantage of them. A mere doodle can turn into a short horror/suspense film, and with an iPhone 4S by your side you can do just about anything with regards to filming! This little piece is not really about the actual art work, but more about the transitions and style of editing. The sound effects I used also play a major part in the unfolding of this story.

Even though I consider myself a writer, I don't write nearly as much as I should. When I do write, I spend most of my time tapping away at the keypad to the beat in my head hoping something will come to mind. Sometimes I'll even doodle! They say the best thing for writer's block is to go out for a walk, have a change of scenery. Me, I make a short video showing exactly what I do when I'm trying to write. Remember those awesome camera apps I referred to in my previous post? Well, I used this app called Vintagio to edit the video I'm about to show you. It's a pretty cool app, especially if you're like me and you like 70s, 80s or 90s style movies. Camera of choice: iPhone 4S Editing program:Vintagio app for the iPhone Also uploaded to:Youtube&Vimeo
