This has been one of my longest days paddling! I have worked diligently on my iMovie course from Lynda.com and here is the proof!
It reminds me of fresh water lilies we have in lakes here in Florida!
Well, I have added music in the background before, but not with voice over and Foley! I had a great time creating this compilation of tasks from the iMovie course. Let's use this picture as a reference:
As you can see at the beginning I used an intro with background and titles! Then I added music and sound effects onto that. I also had to use Ducking for the music. Next, I incorporated a transition which I feel moves you into the video smoothly. I only used 5 transitions through the whole video and they were all the same. Damian who taught the iMovie course was very clear on not using to many transitions. Then I went into iMovie and grabbed some footage I had of my poodle Truffles speaking. Actually, licking crazily at the roof of your mouth, which I put honey on for a previous video. I then created a voice over for her! Went in to iPhoto and grabbed a bunch of stills of my pets. I added titles to the pictures and adjusted the Ken Burns affect. Again, I imported some previous footage of me showing my ferrets to friends via video.
I fell in love with this part! Picture in a picture! I knew I wanted to try that out on this video! I took myself showing the ferrets in a video and had smarty pants Truffles make comments on top of it! I hope you find it funny, because I was crying/laughing when I finished it! (Truffles is obedient and very smart, but a bit of a brat!) So, I just showcased it here!
Next, I added some video of the ferrets that was not originally in iPhoto or iMovie, but still on my video camera. I continued to add music, sounds and voice over until the end shot! I had a blast with this! It was so much easier than anything I had done before and was higher quality! Not to mention I was done in almost half of the time! Gee, am I proving I am kinesthetic and do not read the instructions first?
Above you can see the video shots I imported and used sections of! Where the orange lines are in the videos shows the copies of what I used in this final video for this particular blog!
Get Ready! Meet my hairy, four, legged family! (Not responsible for wet britches from laughing hard!)
Well, I am heading to my tent and a nice 40 degree sleeping bag. It is a bit cool tonight here in Florida. I am glad I brought my warmer bag! Sleep tight and don't let the bugs bite! Oh wait, let me check that I pulled the kayak up far enough on shore so the tide does not come in and take my boat out to sea! Great, now I have use the potty again! Good night!
