When I say that This project was difficult to put together, I mean it with my whole heart. I really liked how this video turned out at the end with the music and everything else. When I was looking for music I used the website https://freesound.org/browse/. I did have to play with it to make it fit with how long it needed to be. I also used that same website to find the audio of the typing and the heartbeat. I am really thankful that I was able to find those audio’s there and would recommend using that site.
I would like to take the time to thank my mom for letting me use some of her pictures to make this come to how it is now. It really means a lot that I was able to use these to really bring the emotion to the video using pictures. Thank you for all the help with finding the pictures you really mean a lot to me. <3
This class has been really fun and I have really enjoyed learning in this class. Thank you so much for making this the best first term here in person.
Oh boy . . . making this video was an entire experience. This video represents my first time making a video that’s more than a glorified slideshow, my first time working with Adobe Premiere, my first time filming anywhere other than my house, and my first time getting towed!
November 12th was an entire day and half for me.
I’ve been a volunteer for the Oregon State University Marching Band since fall 2021, and when this project was announced, I immediately knew I wanted to make a video about my day as a volunteer, in part because it’s one of the only interesting things that I do. A gameday as a volunteer runs anywhere from 9-12 hours long; the November 12th gameday in the video was about eight hours thanks to the circumstances, while the November 26th rivalry gameday was almost fourteen hours long. My first concern was condensing those eight hours down into a short video. Luckily, there were a number of circumstances that preemptively shortened my video for me!
The first complication: due to it being Memorial Day weekend, OSU’s ROTC program rolled out the field-sized flag, which due to the semantics of tradition is actually a patriotic prop and not a flag. We (the volunteers) were not aware that this was going to be happening, and they (the ROTC people) were not aware that we were already in the building! All of our tables had to be moved and our preparations confined to the storage room.
Feeding the band went off without a hitch; the ROTC had gathered their folks and moved their prop prior to the band’s entry. The meal was brisket sliders with coleslaw, macaroni salad, potato salad, and a surplus of chips, cookies, and water. Between the band, cheer, dance team, and staff, the volunteers feed over 300 people on any given gameday.
The second complication: due to a number of miscommunications that left nobody in particular at fault but everyone involved annoyed, I had parked in an invalid spot and got towed. I had originally planned to film a timelapse of the migration from the Truax building to the stadium, but it got choppy and cut short when I realized that my van was very much missing. The backing audio in my video is from the tiny portion of pregame that I actually got to attend and film.
For this being my first time ever scripting and filming a music video in its entirety, I’d say I’m pretty pleased with the results.
The name of the artist who made this song is Dan Mason. I’ve been a follower of his since 2018 and I’m a huge fan of his work. This song of his was one of my favorites, so when the opportunity came to make a music video, I figured that this would be a good first run. I reached out to him in an email, and he gave me the green light to make whatever kind of video I wanted for the project. I got to work and started writing a script and planing locations for the video. After that I got a hold of my friend Aiden who was more than willing to participate in this video for me(Don’t worry I bought him dinner afterwards).
In the video, I wanted to share my perspective through a visual standpoint of how the song makes me feel emotionally. Each setting was picked due to how the area made me feel throughout the song. I also wanted there to be this clash between two opposing sides of the same character, one who is more happy and expressive(Day time footage), and the other who is more cynical and bitter(Night time footage). To really nail home that feeling, I swapped Aidens outfits during filming to let people know that his character was split, yet still the same.
I had a really fun time with this project, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what’s next for me. Huge thanks to Dan Mason an Aiden for making this video possible.
This if my final project animation for MUL 101. This was my first time using Adobe Animate, and it was a lot harder to pick up than other programs I’ve learned. There were some issues that I couldn’t fix when animating body parts and the like, but I eventually decided that they added to the uneasy feeling of the video, which took some inspiration from Salad Fingers. I decided to use computer generated audio because I wanted it to sound off, and the computer audio produced that uncanny valley feel. I wanted to surprise the viewer with the scope of the setting, and I feel like I achieved that in the animation.
For my final project, I wanted to challenge myself by creating a trailer for a fictional mockumentary series, Despicable. Though I’ve been creating videos for a while, I’ve never spent this long and gone so in-depth with a storyline and editing. I learned how to develop an idea into a script and worked on my editing skills in Premiere, Audition, and After Effects.
I am extremely proud of how this project turned out. There were a lot of challenging moments from color correcting the green-screen to adding audio effects to fleshing out the characters, but I think the work paid off in the end. It was so rewarding to bring this idea to life and show myself what I’m capable of when I put my mind to something. I ended up posting my project on TikTok where it received over 300k views, which I was not expecting at all, but it was extremely validating to have my hard work be so well received.
I pushed my creative abilities in a way I haven’t before and am extremely excited to take on larger projects in the future. I tried to pay attention to the little details to create something that feels real and true to form. As a big fan of true crime documentaries, I had so much fun playing with such an absurd storyline and dramatizing the events and I feel like there’s further room to turn this into an actual ongoing series. Overall, I’m really happy that we were assigned this project because it forced me to work on a larger scale than I’m used to. This is absolutely my favorite video I’ve created.
For this project I wanted to do something short and simple, but also comedic. Me and some of my friends went to the grocery store late at night to make a cooking video, and in the process, I ended up coming up with the idea to make a video documenting just the trip to the store.
I had a ton of fun with this project, and everyone who helped me make it did an amazing job. For editing I used premiere pro, but for the audio I used audition to alter a couple of clips that needed fixing. My favorite part about this project was probably the editing process, just due to the fun I had while trying to get the timing right between frames to let the music boost the videos cuts and effects. I’m pretty satisfied with the way the video turned out, but I’m also looking forward to some upcoming projects in the future, so then I can expand the run time, and also give myself more time to perfect the video I’m working on. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this project, and I’m exited to see where I end up in a few years!
I got too ambitious, so this video ended up taking a bit more time to edit than I expected it to. I initially wanted to do one big stop motion that had to do with associating color with music, but I realized pretty early on that I wasn’t going to have enough time to do something like that. After I realized this, I figured that I’d make it more about the 5 colors being in various situations. In doing so, I found that I was able to go about this project in a variety of ways (2D animation, live action, etc.). I came up with a few thematic ideas, and then sort of just went for it. Because I knew that I wasn’t going to have a lot of time, I decided to do things that would help lead to an abrupt cut off in the animation. For example, I chose to use a short meme that I knew would still be effective even in a short time span, and ended my first animation with a sort of absurd, random introduction to the 5th color. The 5th theme of my video mostly came from my frustration of briefly working with the clay, as my entire desk was being taken up with lights and my hands ended up being completely stained from the multicolored clay.
The first thing that I did for this project is come up with what I wanted it to be about. Five thing that you can see in fall made the most sense to me because they were the easiest pictures for me to get. I actually took the picture of the turkeys way before this project and I thought that it was perfect for this project. then when the project was announced I took a picture of one of the trees outside of our building. For the rest of the images I walked around my neighborhood and took pictures of my neighbors yards.
Once I got the photos that I wanted. I saved them to my iCloud witch immediately shares it to my iPad.Putting each image into iMovie. did a bunch of editing stuff. and used the music skeleton dance by myuu
my ipad crashed and deleted my progress and i don’t want to type it all out again.
