CassiexMiley

   Collaboration is an amazing thing. You work on something for others... they work on something for you. You teach others what you know, & they teach you what they know. And in the end, everyone learns something new. That is certainly the case with this new series, CassiexMiley. Now for the previous series AutumnHasWifi, I just did the intro/outro. For this, I did all the editing. It's a challenge to make videos this fast and on this tight of a deadline. But miracles happen and this was the result:


   This is their first video in the series, and I have to say they did a really good job at this. Seriously... it isn't easy sitting in front of a camera and doing this. But they pulled through. Now there is also something I want to show you guys:
   This was even harder to make than the video up top. The reason is that my computer was running QuickTime to record a screen capture while I was editing the video, so it took a lot longer to edit, render, export the video. We actually had a conversation going back and forth ending up as long as a short russian novel*. But patience pays off and the video was uploaded.

AutumnHasWifi!

          Have you ever heard the phrase, "one-man-band?" And if you have heard of it, in what area of life does it apply to you? Well... that isn't exactly how it works in the video & multimedia world. Today, it's all about collaboration. And that is why I have teamed up with a vlogger in my area:


Check it out. She is funny & a remarkably entertaining story teller. Here is one of her videos:

Another Stop-Motion

   So my promises in my last post haven't been fulfilled. I've had a lot of work to do lately, and I have been able to pull this together:
 
  This video might not look as good as my previous stop motion video (click here), but this one I literally only had four hours to finish. The process was the same as last time but I didn't get to making the video until the day it was to be shown. I woke up at 6:30 am and took the pictures for the video. And from then 'till 8:30 am, I took 400+ pictures. But in the end I only used about 200 pictures in the video. Then after I had the pictures, I had to create the frames for dialogue. Fortunately, I saved the template I made for the Teleportation video and used that. But the hardest part for me was rendering out with the Alex4D Aged Film template. It looks great, but is a pain in the neck to render. I fortunately was able to get it done in time to show it off.

Stop-Motion Mayhem

   So unfortunately I said I would finish two videos for Charlene. And I only finished one. But don't worry, the second video will be ready soon. Check it out:
