Podcasts: Production and Editing

Image
This is an example of a podcast- conception, development, editing, and production.   This was produced from 8 separate audio takes.  The narration editing was left a bit 'raw' to convey a conversational tone.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Microphone: Courtesy of Videezy.com   Music: The Remedy by Stefan Kartenberg (c) copyright 2018 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/JeffSpeed68/57161 Ft: Robert Warrington Sound Effects: from Zapsplat.com Software: Audacity

Video: Effects (VFX)

Image
  This short video is an example of VFX composting.   Developed from (2) separate elements to generate a singular video presentation.   The sky is a separate (still) image from the foreground video footage; the two performers, the land, and the water.   In-computer camera tracking techniques are used to sync the (still) sky with the motion of the video footage.    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sidenote: This is a rough draft example. Look closely, just after the mid-point of this 6-second clip, a hint of the 'masking' composite is evident, as a momentary "halo", around the female performer's head, revealing the evidence of two separate elements. Software: DaVinci Resolve

Video: Editing and Sound

Image
  This example is a demonstration of video editing, 'soundtrack' selection and queuing, and motion graphics.   Developed from 32 individual clips, taken from 3 separate cameras for a total of 21 shots. Following the editing of the clips into a functioning sequence, the background music was qued to accentuate the scenes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Music: Space Fiction by Quarkstar (c) copyright 2018 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial  (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/Quarkstar/57369 Post Peak Chillout Blues by septahelix (c) copyright 2021 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial  (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/septahelix/63837 Ft: Rhonin, NiGiD, maplesnow, reiswerk Software: DaVinci Resolve

Vector Graphics and Typography: Logo Design

Image
  This example demonstrates a logo concept.  The ring is representative of the earth (or the whole), with the stylized diamond interweaving through, to get to the point; no matter the direction.   The color choices: Blue represents imagination and inspiration,  Yellow represents originality and creativity, Grey represents the balance; between black and white.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To confirm the form and balance of the logo,  it should maintain its essence without color Software: Gimp

Image Manipulation: Layer Mask

Image
This example is a layer-masking composite,  created from 4 individual stock images :   lightbulb; in the verticle position, over white background, water splash; (from a standard full-frame photograph) shot at surface level, goldfish; from a (previously rendered) transparency. spigot, with a water stream The illusion is created using image manipulation software to demonstrate the seamless merging of separate elements into one.   To further the illusion, a 'reflection' was generated  to add greater dimension.
