hi friend! <3 today's session was for a work event (basically virtual 'bring your kid to work day') where we dress up as disney princesses to entertain. other times my friends and i post covers on youtube/facebook since covid's not letting us do gigs and shows, hahaha :>
Well any time after the 15th of next month if he wants another editor to chat with... >.> I took classes in FCP, but am also self trained and self training on Premiere and would happily trade tricks and tips!
our home sessions started with just a v8 mic and one take of a song and he finetuned it on his iphone. then he started buying equipment so we could record the audio and video separately. haven't had time to soundproof this room so we just surround the lower bunk with clothes and foam to keep the reverb down haha
I am a pre and post production person. But unless I'm acting I generally dislike the production phase. Though in my directing class I discovered a few roles that were fun. But generally... I want to do scripts and planning, and then I want to do editing.
Yes, but I can't give detailed feedback now. I have a big deadline of "Friday" as in today, and another big deadline of Sunday. After that I have a deadline the week after, but less to do for it. So this week and the week before and of con are the crunch time.
But yeah, during production I have done a lot of acting in HS and college. Love acting. But I never ever ever want to direct ever again. I hate casting, and I think I'd rather break my foot than do lighting or cinematography >.<
Biggest reason I think I don't have a YT channel of my own. T,T I have ideas. I have lots of them. And I have the skills to do at least enough editing to get started. But I have no one to do that essential middle phase.
this is his first editing work. we used a v8 mic and an iphone hahaha and we recorded in the meeting room of my mom’s workplace XD (this is a christmas song in our local language)
then he decided to try something at home and play with lights and set me up a YT account still with a v8 and an iphone, so it’s one take (though this isn’t the first take, lmao)
Of course now while I should be focusing on other work all I wanna do is propose a project where we each cut the same footage for something and then compare what we each did to discuss and learn from each other >.>
not that we did a lot of productions either (they're rare here bc expensive to mount) though pre-pandemic themed parties were all the rage so we did a lot of gigs where we dressed up as characters and did skits and entertained kids and adults hahaha
I wanted to be a musical theater person but I am tone deaf. So I do non musical theater (back before I had to stop acting) and attend musical theater as an avid fan.
I have a sewing machine. Tool a class in it. I am pretty sure I only passed the class because the teacher felt bad for me (someone tried to mug me on the way to the final and I was in BAD SHAPE emotionally when I showed up.)
we’re just starting, mostly? so we feel we don’t have what it takes to attempt it, hahaha. also we do these for fun so we might not be able to churn our regular content, and he’s worried since he’s the only one doing editing and things that he’ll get tired of it eventually and move on to a new thing lmaooo
we’re bad at monetizing when we get casted for a themed party we end up spending more on our costume/gear than what we’re actually paid because we go all out (or at least the best we can, since costumes are hard to be accurate and some modifications have to be made for the stage lmao)
Well, yeah, but even if you monetize and it doesn't cover ALL costs... it covers some and at the end, what you bought and made belongs to you to keep. For net less than if you had done it JUST for the fun I'm sure you also had.
I shall have to try an enable you. Esp. if you could be enabled to live action movie Maleficent. Because I have been DYING for her to play off my Mal... and Mal is about to be joining a new game since her current one kind of... stalled.
I don't generally share images of me in cosplay because I love the fact that on the net I am judged by what I say and do, rather than how I look... but I do have one I can share >.>
i was about to ask if you have any! hahaha but yeah, the internet is... wild, so i get that. i’m just pretty okay talking about things here occasionally bc not a lot of people really look past friends i’ve kind of known for a while now lol
Only two things will ever get me to wear make up. Acting and cosplay. I hate hate hate the stuff. But to be on stage/in front of a camera or in costume at a con? I'll put up with it,
so i’m always amazed by those who do. i’m glad cons are back there! there’s like... maybe one here and not even big? the closest i’ve ever gotten to are the costumed performances, haha. like maleficent was for a halloween gig at a mall who had a trick or treat event, evie was for our office year end party lmao
Closest I ever came was lip balm and I had to stop wearing that. Because... um... I got the flavored ones. And good flavour + OCD... I started eating them
Though we were more careful with our scene choices for the kids than say for the nursing homes or board of ed. I mean, two of my monologues were in theory about/by kids but.... not really what we wanted to put in front of them, lol.
Like one was from the POV of this one really messed up kid (I think it was originally a Lilly Tomlin sketch, maybe?) that stole another kid's frogs and... let's just say it glorified animal cruelty on the surface while making it clear that the kid excited about it was pretty messed up.
And the other was a woman talking to her therapist about a play she went to as a kid (Peter Pan) and how the play just got worse and worse and ends with a line that all but sums up her depression "What;s the point of trying, if Tinkerbelle is just going to die?"
(somehow I kept getting the most disturbing and messed up monologues. My friend got house of They. Another got strong self confidence pieces. I got squashed frogs and depression.)
I also got existential ones and sad ones and just... I guess he decided I fit a type of comedy from a place of pain, because I got very few ones that were strong character ones or funny because funny ones... an this impression is all disturbing hindsight just now occurring to me.
edit: now a chatter plurk about music videos, editing, costumes, artist woes, kazie showing off her brother’s works lmao
bro: well before that i made you sing 2 belty songs a total of 8 times in succession on top of the other things we recorded
