Chinese New Year 2015
Rambling.. I'm a rambling man.... ramblin...... ramble....
Here we are again.... A new year... for the Chinese! Us descendants on Genghis Khan are working on February 19th of the new year. So far it a bust. Along the lines of lets get it over already and see what that next year might bring.
Yeah, yeah yeah... I know.. not all cherry pie and all but hay, I need daily affirmation!
Alright.... I was going to write up this awesomely detailed blog on using Cyberlink Power Director to make that go pro video into a watchable movie with titles and cuts and speed changes and audo overdubs and mods... but after clipping shots everywhere I came to the realization that it was too long and too boring. So I cut it!
I am now thinking on a short video showing the steps it takes. That will take a quiet room, much needed setup and hopefully not too many retakes. I have high hopes... but I said that for the year too.
Watch this space...
What I did come to this last evening was that the hardest part of building a movie for myself was the music. I can and do use music that is free in different forms but most times I want something I enjoy listening too and would if I could listen to music while flying... which I cant.
Music for videos/movies has to fit the mood. I have a vast list and a whole bunch of favorites but I went looking on the nets for something I didn't have. I ended up not using any but they were great.. here are some I hit.
Very cool video... Love the tonality...wish it had been used to greater effect without the blob being dropped... but here...

Which is just haunting in my frame of mind.
Oh... there are more but thats enough for this first blog of the "year".
I have been working on all sorts of stuff edit wise... from cell phone wallpaper to shots of my friends to three hour edits... ( I lost track of time ) .. No direction at all yet. I was hoping something would come but... nope.. everywhere and anywhere.... Sorry..you have to suffer with me.
A few of my favorites...
So many layers and edits I lost time.... But its awesome.
Net shot of game I edited for my phone.
Try and figure out what I edited.
Quick shot which I loved because of the horses AND the motorcycle.
This was from a T-shirt from a web site I loved. I reedited it for the cell size.
I will pass along the tag later. Good prices too. http://www.neatorama.com/
I expect to get some idea of where I am going later.... So many things going on and no idea where to go with it.
Merry happy New season year time! Pounce pounce pounce pounce!!!
Walking along...following... following.. nothing very descriptive to point out... like.. Oh.. here is a monet.... a Rembrandt... Oh... its a drawing my my daughter when she was in third grade.. I thought it got tossed! Wow.. no.. nothing but a corridor now. Floor is a floor..walls a monosyllabic wall.... back of a butler.. or one supposes...... tap tap tap.... no tigers here.... no rabbits... no moose.... I wonder what for lunch?
