My First Music video - Road Trip 2008

I'm going to see if this works or not, but I tried to upload it to YouTube earlier and they were like - your video has been muted due to third-party content. Whoops. HAHAHA. The video is done to the song "Dice" by Finley Quaye. I don't know why, but I really like the feel of this song for a road trip. If I had better footage, I could've done more with the video but it's okay.

At any rate, here's my first music video in my first attempt at using Premiere Pro CS3. Please don't expect too much - there is a lot left to be desired, including more steady video footage, but I think for my first time, it's not too bad lol.

When we were filming our road trip, I believe our intention was just for documentation, not to do anything spectacular with the footage. So if you get dizzy from the bumpiness of the video, I'm sorry - hahaha. I had to add a bunch of pictures to fill in parts where I didn't have any video to put lol. But hopefully when I get my hands on my wedding's raw footage one day (that's a whole other issue HAHAHA), I will be able to play around with it and do something cool. And I also want to make a longer video of our road trip, with us talking about stuff.. so we'll see.

I learned a lot from this experience and can't wait to do some more. However, I became a hermit for a few days and I think I need to take some time to become a normal functioning member of the human race again lol. I am sure I will find a nice balance between potential video editing maven and social butterfly, just give me some time hahaha.

Oh yeah, I want to share with you my daffodil photos. Fred got me daffodils to help the Breast Cancer Association. At first they weren't bloomed but now they are. Unfortunately, I don't have a vase HAHAHAH. Here are some photos:



I also was at the park the other day and saw a mom pushing her child on the swing set. The child was ecstatic and both mother and child were laughing so much. I regret not taking more than one picture but we were on the move so oh well... Better luck next time. I feel like the kid could either look very happy or very mad b/c you can't see his mouth hahaha.



More stuff to come. Enjoy!
