Final Draft! Stormy Night adventure Island Milwaukee Adventure


Here it is, this is my final draft and final project final video for this particular project. I combined most of my previous silent clips and sounds with extra sounds and stills and this is how it turned out. I particularly enjoy the sounds it plays during the scrolling signs. Anyways Enjoy.

Drift with sound part deuce.


This is my second piece of work with sound, its the signs with the lights and the pretty colors and some crazy noises. These were mostly ambient noises I had that I distorted a lot in audacity. I really like the effects. There was a lot of pitch and speed changes made. Here it is! One last step closer to the final project.

Sound Drift part 1


Here is my soundless video completely redone with SOUND! Ah yes glorious technology means we shall only see talkies in this day and age. Anyways I think I'm going to use this and merge it with my light video for the final project but this is where I am at so far. Check it out.

Sketch 3- I like it.


This one definitely needs more work but I plan on covering that for the final part of this project. Here is my 3rd piece which has the electronic signs and neon lights I found on campus and on Capital Ave. I think I am going to make the signs move more and it should be pretty darn cool. Anyways check it out on here. Oh yeah, my quicktime videos seem to be pretty large, at least too large to easily load on pantherfile. What's the deal with that? I guess ill find out soon in class.

Sketch number 2, the photoplay.


This is my second test sketch silent drift film. This one is made entirely of a large portion of my still photographs mostly in order from the trip. This was a pain to make because my Adobe programs kept freezing up when I tried to load all these and size them correctly. I ended up using Pinnacle studio 10 to fix the time so each frame didn't last 5 seconds. Now each one is about a 5th of a second. Overall I think it is pretty neat how some of the photos mesh into each other but you can't really tell that this is part of a walk or not without being told huh. Check it out.

Rough Sketch Number 1



This is the first rough sketch I have done, overall I really liked the main footage used and it reminded me of an insect, thus the reasoning behind the flower and plant stills is related to perhaps a bumblebee. I'm excited to add sound to this later.

Image capturing strategies

When I decide to take photos with my digital camera I will keep these two strategies in mind.

1. I will generate still and moving imagery very frequently. If I have not taken a picture within 20 seconds I better take one now in the next second.

2. I will generate still and moving imagery multiple times of the same subject.

So overall I want to take photos very very frequently and I also want to take more than one of the same subject but it can be different angles etc. That way it will be more fun to see the results of a particular place or thing or whatever.
