Moving Pictures

I thought I would try my hand at moving pictures (You know.. a bunch of still photos shown in progression to give the illusion of motion). I have done short little videos but never really tried my hand at editing. I likened it to doing darkroom on a still photo.

I tried to catch different action then put them all together, add subtitles and music. I will send the link to my niece who works as a videographer in L.A. so she can grade me on my first project. It only lasts about 4 minutes but it took me about 20 hours to complete the whole project.

Thankfully, years of working in photoshop prepped me for a lot of the editing interface. I just had to watch a bunch of tutorial on youtube to figure out where I was heading.



I will be cross posting in the pets group as the stars of the show are 4 rescues living with us ranging in age from a bit over a year old to a 6 week old kitten.

The kittens are all so precious, and I love the music. It really matches their antics quite perfectly.

Thank you!

I hope there will be more videos.

Excellent choice of music — what composition is that?

I can only imagine the intensity of your editing. You put together a good and funny look at these kitties in their rescue home. Zelda's name reminds me of Dobie Gillis. Looking forward to the next adventures!
