So Saturday I went out with my friend Craig and got a ton of video from the area, then yesterday I wrote the text of what I'm going to read! Expect that I'll be posting my video pretty soon here, either tonight or tomorrow night. After I post the video I'll post the text from it too, should be awesome!
Now that I have all the clips it shouldn't be to difficult to slide all of these clips together. I think the biggest problem is finding an open source song, once I have a pretty low key song I can overlay that on the video while I talk for a better enveloping experience.
Song 1 It's a concert, so I think that makes it open source. I also just found this, from here.
UPDATE: Alright so I think I got the project all finished! Tomorrow I'll be doing a little testing with my instructor and my classmates before I post the video online. It turned out wayyyyy sweeter than I expected, even exported it in 1080p for maximum YouTube power.
Boom. Snacks on snacks.

ReplyDeleteThe most helpful thing I can tell you is STORYBOARD STORYBOARD and STORYBOARD. Don't get me wrong that you have your clips and music already but storyboarding makes the editing process way easier. If you go to google images and type in storyboards, thousands of templates should show up.
It also helps you tell a story too. I had a hard time trying to lay out what I wanted to do but little by little it came to life. It arranges your initial idea and afterwards you have enough time to add in more ideas later....
And believe me when I say, you don't need to be a good artist. I started off using stick figures.....as long as you know what you see.....your good
hope this helps

ReplyDeleteA good idea is to search youtube or google typing in the title or the theme of your video. There you should be able to find a song that fits your video. If you type in key words that you want displayed in the video different songs will pop up that may relate to the message that you want to send to your viewers. Youtube has a large database of songs that may relate to your theme, some songs may be familiar and some you may have never heard of but keep your eyes and ears open.
