This letter home is in the form of a video once again… a bit longer. The original was something like 8 minutes, too much for my liking so I had to trim it a bit. This week has been very busy and hectic for me, and I really got passionate (yet bitterly so lol) about video making. It is a very time consuming process, I don’t like being on camera as I’ve whined before.. but the rewards of a finished product are really awesome. At first I was trying so hard to make everything transition between scenes/clips really smoothly and everything. But then I tinkered with not so smooth transitions. Giving it less of a ‘film’ feel, and more of a ‘raw recording’. I did so in my product review, and did so as well in this video for 1 or 2 of the clip transitions. I realized that it doesn’t HAVE to be perfect, or completely smooth all the time… sometimes that roughness expresses the experience of making the movie. It captures shutting on and off of the record button, readjusting the camera or yourself between clips. I liked the mixed effect.
I have been working TONZ lately… I actually had to shoot part of this at work (no I do not own an amazing computer lab in my house lol).
This one (as well as the previous 7) is for you mom…
