I have to be honest. This class has kind of convinced me that Yoda was wrong when he said, "Do or do not. There is not try." Let me explain. On the first day of class we were asked to write about our creative process. I admitted that I am generally very nervous about creating... Continue Reading →
Reflections: Module 3
I outline a lot of this in my posts of my rough and final cut, but I figured I would write something a little bit more thorough about my process for module 3. Since module 3 was based on module 2 for me, I tried to boil it down to the basics. I did a... Continue Reading →
Reflections: Module 2
While working on module 2, I tried to do a lot of prep work. I thought about shots that I wanted and ideas that I wanted to capture from my 8 year old nephew, Logan. The problem with all of this was that I live in Illinois...and he lives in Williamsburg, VA. That meant that... Continue Reading →
From Across the Way – Final!
https://vimeo.com/95774093 This is my final version of From Across the Way. While I do not think it is perfect in any sense of the word, I feel pretty proud of it. I watch it now and still see parts I would cut out or bits of audio that need cleaning up (I still have not... Continue Reading →
From Across the Way – VERY rough cut
https://vimeo.com/95771742 This is the rough cut of my final video project for module 3. It only had one bit of music included in it at this point and I was pretty unsure of what to do with the phone call/video chat part of the video. I also had not come up with an ending yet.... Continue Reading →
8 and Trying
https://vimeo.com/91654152 This is my video for module 2. Looking at it again it could use some more work. It is too long, the audio could use some cleaning up, and would benefit from some music to make the material more interesting. Also there are a few rough/awkward cuts that should be smoothed out.
Movement Take 2
https://vimeo.com/86634841 In this second version of Movement I rearranged the first few clips and placed them at the end. I also played with the audio of the bridge being demolished and made it be out of order so that it was still aligned with the sound of the sirens. I like this version better but... Continue Reading →
Movement
https://vimeo.com/86633758 I think the first 17 seconds are pretty interesting and then it gets really boring. The audio needs to have transitions between them and it needs to build up to something stronger. But here you go. My first version of Movement.
Returning Home
https://vimeo.com/86630610 This is a piece I cut together to try and play with how video can be used to visualize reflection. I tried lightly message the audio by overlaying tracks. This is still a rough cut and I am not audio expert, but I think it could build a nice effect with more work.
Coming and Going
https://vimeo.com/86586637 These are just simple video's I took on a recent trip back to the DC area. I wanted to cut together a simple 1 minute long piece with no bells and whistles. Just focused on putting together different visuals into a short piece.
