Sparkley Sunset on the Sea. With Clips


Never looked at Clips before ( standard app on the iPad) but I wanted to have the ability to put filters on video clips I’d taken on holiday. I love the filters, I love the sun sparkling on the sea, can I put them together.. well I can with Clips. I was amazed at how many cool filters there was. I could trim, duplicate, and add music as well. I chose some music I had in my file. (A Reminiscent Drive by Smokey Mountains) All straight forward ( I did watch a helpful tutorial here : https://youtu.be/wZx5dW7nO3E?si=f-T1kryLe8IibgEq ) Could do with a few nice transitions maybe. Oh and it did get very stormy later that week with amazing lightening across the vast horizon, and huge crashing waves. Alanya,Turkey beginning of October A very useful video app

Slightly Warhol

 

 

more flowers, this hipstamatic filter I used gives a feel of a Warhol, going towards abstraction. Some begonias, petunias, hydrangeas and a thunbergia, which enjoyed winding itself in a tall grass. Cooper Young= (Johnny C Lens and Hampline Film)

High Flyer

High Flyer one more experimental video clip with a graphic frame over the top, all done in cs3 extended photoshop. yes it is possible, but don’t know how to make it loop, although i did find out after i did it how to make it longer, so this is very short. I filmed it at Santa Cova in Ibiza at the magical Storytellers party. The recorded sound wasn’t to good so discovered how to add some music in place of the original. Music a bit of Artbat

If I do another one here--I'm experimenting a lot, I will make it longer  😜

Video onto Cardboard ?

Not a video about cardboard, but a video ( clip) embedded into some cardboard
A beach parade of Pacha Flower Power people, grabbed my phone to catch it whilst having great time on an Ibiza beach. Rembering how to create overlays on videos in Photoshop. 

•useful youtube on editing video in photoshop  (I used PS CS3 and it worked, although stuff was in different places, as you'd expect, (I do use a partitioned computer btw )

Also this lady saved my life/brain. I had no sound coming from the video in PS so I searched allovertheinternet as you do and got lots of fixes --i just didn't have the audio symbol. Then i came across this article, where  she said, you wont hear sound in CS3 but when its exported to QuickTime it'll be there --phew. And it was. It was over a Gigabyte though, so I took it back into QuckTime and eported it to 480 ipad. How to here 

  At least I've figured out how to do it . will be experimenting more


Old Charcoal slideshow

charcoal movie7

I made this slideshow in a frame many years ago. Completely forgotten how to do it. Putting my own frame around a movie. Hmm .these were quick charcoal drawings, keeping my hand in

 

Down at #Brighton for the weekend, giving my #Hipstamatic a fling. Didn’t like this filter at first, but gave it a good go and now obsessed with it’s grunginess and weird colours. Slide show of google photos #Xerography #Lasercmykfilm

Mask

 




  Had to relearn masks in Photoshop as I forgot how to use them as not really a thing I’ve used much. Watched many ‘ easy’ ps mask tuts on YouTube and finally got the gist. I have older version of ps so some differences I had to work around. It was the alt click in the mask thumbnail that got me. Anyway I found that masks were invaluable in my style of using ps brushes on my artwork, controlling where you want texture/pattern etc. For my music mixes covers I generally I use a model’s face starting point as a blank canvas to experiment on, masking the original image so it’s changed enough to be unrecognisable or enough so it can be creatively used. Always working on variations of techniques for my visual ideas. Different atmospheres to create a certain mood ( that may or not be in the music I’ve choose). It can be random, luck or a guided hand, if it fits. Importantly as well they have to be done reasonably quickly as I’d have spent long hours sourcing and piecing the tracks together in a coherent way. Track listing and uploading. So two hours is max for me. With these tutorials I found I’d collected a lot of covers to potentially use in future mixes The one above, I thought wasn’t suitable, but still liked it, I’ve posted. Used old notebook paper, a script stamp and stained it with coffee. I think it’s about communication. Which I don’t do enough of.
