Week 13: The Final Week

Alright, people! This is my last week to finish my masterpiece! Well, maybe not a masterpiece, there are some flaws.
I only have a little filming left to do, and editing doesn’t really take long. I’m not that concerned about finishing up. I am concerned, however, on the final piece. As I learn how to make music, film, and edit, I keep on thinking that it has to be perfect. I don’t have the special animation editing or the echoes and percussion in other songs. I feel like there cannot be any flaws in it. But I know that there will be flaws, and I have to accept that.

Anyways, back to progress. I am almost done with my filming, and let me tell you: it was so EMBARRASSING. I had to film outside in a summer dress to get that “dream” effect. But there was this little boy staring at me and my sister, and when we looked over at him, he ran away. Two minutes later he came back.

So yeah, here I am. I will see you in one week with the product. See you then.

Week 12: Filming (For Real This Time)

Okay, I finished the layout.

Now I’m actually getting out of my stalling laziness and filming my video. My little sister Teagan is going to help me. I hope she has the ability to do this. If the video looks bad, blame her.
There are three characters in the song: Guitar me, Pyjama Me, and Dream Me. Dream me has a scene to do something outside in a summer dress. Ugh, wish me luck.

Week 11: Filming

This week was pretty uneventful and so will next week because I’m going to a camp on the weekend.
Now is the time I should film most of my video. I’m currently making the script so I have an idea on what I should do for each verse.
Also, while I was packing for camp, I found this cool thing I can do with my flashlight. Check it out:

Spooky! 👻

That definitely going in the video!

Week 10: It’s All Going “Expert”!

I have contacted my expert! He is also a friend of my parents, so they approved. The meeting wasn’t long, but I learned about silhouettes and editing shots and other stuff.

I am trying to make some of the video more pleasant. My song’s not necessarily the jolliest tune to hear. I think I’m going to add more “effects” to the music to make it more intense near the end. It needs a buildup like a story.

I’m debating if I should dance in the video. I’ve seen music videos where the singer dances. But there are other videos where they don’t dance. But also my procreate’s not working so I’ll have to use my sister’s.
