imovie tutorials

The first movie tutorial shows how to start a new project, how to import movies, and so on. The second tutorial shows how to use the imovie application, it is especially good because it zooms in to show you exactly how to use it and what to click. The last imovie tutorial also shows you how to construct movies on a mac using the imovie application.

Cut-out


I used the eraser tool to white out the background around the photo.  I had attempted to use the lasso tool, but it did not turn out so well, so I used the eraser instead.

Tigger the Tiger's Day with a Three Year Old (birthday special)

Tigger the Tiger had trouble falling asleep that night, he knew that tomorrow was  very special day.

The next morning he woke up and was full of excitement.  

He raced to the window to look outside, today is going to be a great day he said to himself.

He met up with his buddy Lance, they were the best of friends, and they had a great day planned together.

They played baseball together... 

Went to the basketball courts together...

Went to the rosary garden at church together...

They even took piano lessons together, in which Tigger had on pure talent.

They were great, great friends!

They even made a new best friend named Bob the Scarecrow.

Next, they played a game of poker together, Tigger lost, but it was still loads of jolly good fun.

They then went on a safari together, on their way to the special location.  They kept their eyes out for lions, tigers, and bears, Oh My!

Sadly, they did not spot any lions, tigers, or bears, but it was still fun!

Lastly, they ended up at the special location.  It was Tigger's surprise birthday party.  He had had a great birthday, and he had spent it with his best friend!

Photo of the Week 1

James Grayson, 4 1/2 months old, sleeping in his mother's arms.

     This photo was taken from above, using only natural lighting coming through the windows.  The camera was set on the basic auto.  The theme that I will be following for a few of my pictures of the weeks are my siblings.  James is my youngest sibling, so over a few weeks I will be taking pictures of my other siblings as well.  Along with other themes that I will be exploring.

Photographer Selection

So I have decided on the photographer that I will do a huge project on and it is...drumroll...............Andrew Prokos.  I just enjoy his photographs of New York City so much, that I just had to pick him, sorry John Shaw.  Now only two things are left.  One, to figure out exactly what the project is about tomorrow.  Two, nobody else gets him, o.k., HE'S MINE*

     I really love big cities, and I mean really.  I would so love to live in New York City.  That is why I have chosen two pictures both of big cities.  These two pictures are by Andrew Prokos and Jay Maise.  One shows a city from street level (Prokos), the other shows and overview.  I personally prefer the overview, but that is just me.  Another two pictures are of nature.  Pictures of nature are just so peaceful.  Both of the pictures selected I selected because I have been to them.  The first being of Yosemite by Michael Frye, the second of the red woods by Ansel Adams.  Growing up in California, I have been to several of these places multiple times.  The last picture is of a women in black and white.  I love fashion, and the black and white makes it looks vintage and so professional/polished.  This picture was by Brian Duffy.  I loved these pictures, hope that you do too!

Reflection Questions:
During the Photo Safari around the campus I learned about the different shots that can be taken. Some of these are such as a low angle, a high angle, wide shots, long shots and so on.  It was easy figuring out where the best spots to take the pictures were and what the different angles meant.  The hard part was getting my human subject perfect in every photo, which did not always happen, but I tried my best.  This project will help me in future projects in that, I may not have gotten the exact angles right this time, but that I will in the future.  One strange image that did not exactly work out was my reflection where no matter how many times/ways I took it, it never turned out right.  The eye also turned out blurry where I wish it had turned out clear.  Most of my other pictures turned out really well, which I am happy about.
