Randomly Set

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.

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.

So, I picked up a Nest Thermostat last week, and finally got it installed this evening. I'll update this thread once we've had a bit of useage from it, and also a few bills - just a shame it's the wrong time of the year really. Other "smart" purchases we have planned are: Nest Fire Alarms (2 of) WiFi Phillips Hue Bulbs WiFi Phillips Hue LED Strips Wireless Smart Alarm Smart Radiator Thermostats Nest CCTV (possibly) And here it is set up on the wall.

After telling SMBWO my idea for when we sort the conservatory, I had another idea for the living room.... The walls will be a different colour, and so would the "map".

After months of emails, video uploads etc, the Bedlington Terrier Rescue charity now have an "About Us" video... In an ideal world I would have been able to travel and get better footage, but in a way, this feels more "home made" if that make sense

Week 3 is here already.... Unfortunately I didn't get chance to record a "proper" video, and only managed this time lapse.

I finally got around to giving the Leon a winter detail a couple of weeks ago (day after new years day to be exact). And as part of my 2017 challenge, I also made a video of it.
