AOTW - Week 2; Nina Simone - Greatest Hits

So, for week 2, it was Nina Simone. Other than a few songs I've heard in the past - but didn't know she was the singer - I just couldn't get into it. Great for background music, in a strange kind of way.



Favourite Track: Feeling Good

Least Favourite Track: Nothing was terrible, I just kinda "zoned out".

Summary: Overall, a very easy listening/background music kind of play list. Some great songs such as "Feeling Good", "I Put A Spell On You" and "To Be Young, Gifted And Black" (plus a couple more). This is something I imagine being played in a coffee shop or something similar.

Would I Listen Again? The entire playlist? Probably not. Certain songs? Yes I would.

The Mollusc - AKA "Chesterfield Snail"

Image
Last week I decided to pop along and take a look at the Mollusc, based on the edge of Chesterfield in a small park by a housing estate. Originally I wanted to be there for sunset, but when I went by, there were a fair few kids playing football on the park. Not wanting to either be hassled, or have parents come out, I decided to leave it. So I went back later in the afternoon - fully expecting it to be busy. Other than 1 dog walker, who left after about 5 minutes, I was all on my own.

Going To Try And Be More Regular

Ok, so it's now the middle of September. At the start of the year I set myself a challenge to create a video a week - which I've really been trying my best to do.  A couple of these videos have led to people contacting myself to help them create a video for their company/charity or whatever. YAY! The latest video I'm working on is for Chesterfield Operatic Society, which is of a World Premiere of Nicholas Nickleby.

Working On Nicholas Nickleby

Image
My editing set up As I mentioned in the last post, I'm currently working on a promotional video for the World Premiere of a musical adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby. Whilst working on this edit, I was chatting online to one of my "online buddies" Godwyn, and started talking about the editing process. It was then I realised, how complex it can get - even for a small YouTuber like me. God knows how they go on when editing for a blockbuster film. For this video, I started off by creating a simple animated introduction using Adobe After Effects. I then created a bunch of "lower 3rds" for the cast/staff that I knew would be on camera. From there, I then use the dynamic link feature in Premiere Pro to drag these in and over the top of your video.
