Stars



Stars on Vimeo

I know, it's my daughter and it probably looks like I'm showing off or bragging, but I still think this is totally cool.

Of course you're bragging & showing off - but yeah, it's tres cool! Wish it had been a leetle longer...

Wanna fill us in on what all she did for the vid? I'm guessing some animation, but who did the video edits & music?

Hey!

Thanks again, daddy, for posting my video!

About how I did it: The movie is made entirely of still photos that I took of myself. I drew the stars and then combined them with the photos in Photoshop. I edited it in iMovie and added the music to it, which is a song called "No Seas Antipatica" by Juana Molina.

And, yes, I wish it was a little longer too... I actually have a second version of it that I haven't put online that is about 10 seconds longer.

But, I only have so much time. Making this movie took me about 12 hours and there are around a hundred frames that I made individually in Photoshop.

It was sort of experiment to see if this effect would work. Really I should be using After Effects for this sort of thing but I don't have an extra 700 bucks lying around to buy it with!

And there's the word from the master herself! Alas, I don't have $700 lying around either!

Sell lots of books & buy your daughter AfterEffects, Bill.

Computers are great, but it still takes a long, long time to make something cool. Thanks for sharing your process - one of these days I'll get around to playing with iMovie. Thank god for Macs!

You caught me! I iTuned the disc onto my comp, then passed it on to my daughter. "Listen to this, sweetie. I think you'll like 'em!"

I am sooooo busted.

haha!!
heck, that's what i expect people to do. in fact if i hand somebody a cd i usually say feel free to pass it on to somebody you think might enjoy it.
