Animoto

                My creative process was first deciding what I was going to shoot which could tell a short story. I was already going to go support my boyfriend by watching him perform Friday night. I thought it would be nice to compile a little video tribute to the band, Mortgage Freeman. On Thursday I familiarized myself with the Animoto website so that I knew what I needed to capture on camera. I asked my boyfriend to provide a recorded song and their band logo to give it more of a personal vibe. I came up with a rough list of what I saw were the elements of my story:


-Topic: A Mortgage Freeman Gig, Local Milwaukee Music  

-Beginning: Landmark 4/8/2016 Pictures to Introduction the Venue & Set-up

-Middle: Clips of each of the band members during their performance

-End: Clips of the whole band and the audience clapping


                The creative process continued as I looked over and organized all of the footage to tell the story. The Animoto website took a very long time to upload the video clips which was frustrating since I had a strict deadline and I wanted to produce quality work. I really enjoy the vintage vinyl template and thought it was a perfect fit for what I was trying to present. I was very relieved that the site gave the user the ability to rotate the videos and post-process photos otherwise that would have been a technological nightmare. I very much enjoyed my experience documenting the band and editing the video. I was even thinking about creating another Animoto video for my mom for Mother’s Day!

  2. Michelle, your video was a lot of fun! What a nice way to honor your Charlie (that's his name, right?) and his band--which, by the way, has an awesome name: Mortgage Freeman. Love it! Especially impressive is that you incorporated his band's music into the video. You did a great job of planning the sequence of shots, and I agree: the template you chose with vinyl is perfect. Michelle, I do hope you make an Animoto for your Mom for Mother's Day. No doubt she'd love it. Congratulations on a job well done. Dawn
