Whilst the Fandom Princess was on her annual winter season break from her scholarly estate, she decided that she would stop by some of the local villages on her carriage ride back home and take a look  around at some of their ancient shops.

At one particular town, she stepped inside one dingy looking shop which was particularly cold and made of all cement. She walked up to the shopkeeper and inquired about if they have anything of special value that the Princess could look at and possibly be able to own herself.

The shopkeeper gave her a very curious look, yet she took the Princess behind the shop curtains. What the Princess found there was a tiny little box. It was no bigger than a music box.

“What is this?” the Princess asked the shopkeeper.

“’Tis a magic icebox,” the shopkeeper replied. She opened it and the room instantly was filled with a cold chill.

The Princess shuddered and took the tiny blue box in her right hand. The box was surprisingly warm. She looked inside of it and, although it was tiny, at the very center she could see a small clear cube.

“So this is what’s keeping it so cold?” she asked the shopkeeper, who merely nodded silently.

The princess was intrigued and decided that she would leave the shop with this mystical Ice box. She paid the amount of gold and silver, and hopped back in her carriage, holding the mystical item in her bag, eager to show the King and Queen of one of her new discoveries.

I feel like I have only been waiting for an assignment like this one FOREVER! Seriously, forever. In case y’all haven’t noticed, I kind of like to talk about myself. Moreover, I like to take pictures of myself and like looking into mirrors. What can I say, I’m a Cancer, and we can border on the line of self-absorbed (I’m not THAT bad though, I promise). Anyway, for this video assignment, I decided to do I Am Me, where I got to create a video about yours truly. Oh yeeeeah.

Well, I watched the example video and started to realize that I would need a song to act as my background music. First, I tried thinking about what exactly the anthem of my life would be. How would I choose? But then I figured that maybe it should be a song that I can identify a lot with. One that gets me moving, that I can listen to whether I’m happy or sad. Obviously, Coldplay had to be the answer! I settled on an excerpt from ‘Clocks’ my favorite song by Coldplay.

From there, I spent a HUGE amount of time deciding what exactly I wanted to put in the video. In the end, I decided that I wanted to include the important things that mattered to me: my family/my friends/my home/and just a few of the things that I hold near and dear to me. I had to track down a bunch of old photos of friends and of me and do a Google search for some common pictures that I wanted to include in the video, which took a bit of time, but in the end I think the video came out well

Halfway through, I decided that I wanted to add in some transitions as well, which turned out to be really easy using Window’s Movie Maker. I randomly picked and chose the ones I wanted, which is something that totally fits my personality. I like to mix it up once in a while. Lastly, was making sure that my title slides and words showed on the video, and that was also a success and way easy to do with the Movie Maker. All in all, this project was fun and pretty easy, although time consuming! Check it out:
