Audio Self portrait video

This was pretty cool! he played with the fonts to give the video more personality and it almost sounded like he was beat boxing to the video throughout and added really cool sounds to go with the images. He did a good job and I like the way his voice sounded when he talked. I think it is definitely a very interesting take on this video and It is cool to see the different ideas everyone comes up with when making their self portrait videos.

Day dream self Portrait

This was a very weird and interesting self portrait video. I really like how she kept stretching to reach the moon. It was all about her daydreaming. The different effects she used really gave the viewer that feeling as though they are with her inside the daydream. I also really like how her face turned black and white and almost looked animated. That would be cool to do in my self portrait video. I want mine to be very colorful and fun as I have said before.

Animated Self Portrait


This animated self portrait is awesome! the different effects she used throughout it were very cool. I can tell she put a lot of time into it and I really like the colors se he used as well. That alone tells you what kind of person she may be. I also really like how to she played with the text and altered the font. The little robots were extremely cute and I really like how the entire thing turned out. I like it.

Stop motion Self Portrait

This video self portrait is very cool. It is all stop motion! it is insane how long this must've taken. A lot of patience and time went into this. I would get really frustrated with it but it turned out looking really good. A lot of her shots are really beautiful and I really like the part where she is out with the sunrise/sunset. It was very nice and added a lot to the video. I also really like how the lighting looked in the bathroom when she was doing her hair. It was good and her faces she was making were cute. I think she did a good job with her video.

Self portrait Time Lapse

I think since I am an artist it would be really cool to add a quick video of me painting in my self portrait. It would be a time lapse like this, but I dont think I would do the entire thing. I would just show some of the painting in the video. I want my video to be very artistic and fun, and I feel like that could add a lot of personality to my piece. It will be exciting to see how it turns out.

Twilight looking Video

This was a weird video. I really like the font and the way he did his text at the beginning. I think that would be an awesome idea for mine. Start off with a very cool font, and altering the font through after effects and give it a certain look throughout the piece. This video almost reminded me of twilight zone. I think he did a good job giving that eerie feeling to this piece. The music works really well with it. I think he did a pretty cool job throughout his piece.

Video using many Effects.

It looks like this guy really experimented with different effects for his self project video. I really like in the beginning how he did the different transparencies and brought them together and made different colors. He did a lot of different lightings and speeds to add variety to his film. I can tell he focused on different cameras and other effects throughout. It is cool to get an idea on what I plan on doing throughout my self portrait video. I hope to use a lot of cool effects like this video.

B&W self portrait

This self portrait video is cool how she does the voice over top of her actions. The black adn white adds a certain effect to the feeling of this video as well. I feel like it needs to brighten up at parts. I like some of the shots that are taken in different areas. Its hard to get a good video of a self portrait to really understand how our class self portrait project will be.

Self Portrait video

This person's self portrait video is kind of boring. It has an interesting take on it with all the different parts of their life. I like how in the beginning the door open into their apartment. It is cool to see all the different aspects of their life, such as art, photography, music and much more. The camera has very high definition and the filming and lighting is beautiful. I just think the video could have something in it to be more interesting.

Self portrait video

I dont know yet if this is what we are going to be doing for class, but the guy talks about him self in a way where he is super busy with school, but on his free time and when he wants to relax, he will dJ. It was cool how he did the different chapters. I think the lighting could be better. Some of the filming and sound effects were cool to see. It was an interesting take on self portraits.

Whose Line is it Anyway?

When we said we were going to be green screening, I instantly thought of Whose Line is it Anyway when they do the News flash. He has to speak to the audience like he is in a live event that is happenign right behind him and the other guys on the show have to give him some sort of clues to let him know what is happening at the end. He goes on for a certain amount of time until he thinks he knows what is happening on the green screen and then guesses. It is always so funny. The men on this show are amazing! haha Improv kills me sometimes.

Awesome Green Screen Video

This person did an awesome job using green screen and after effects. Some of the pieces looked very real, such as him walking through the grass towards the beginning. It was really cool how in the opening scene his body would change as we saw him pass through the different frames. He did a really good job with the effects, filming and sound effects. The green screening was great. He didnt look fuzzy at all and there was not really any signs of the green screen around him.

Green Screen Backgrounds

This is pretty cool. It is a little bit cheasy but it is all free images or gifs to use for the background in your green screen. I could see them coming in handy when you need a certain feel to your video but dont live anywhere near the place you want to get in your film. For instance, this video had waterfalls, castles, beaches, etc. They are so many things we are not accustomed to everyday, so having the images free for us to use in our green screening videos come in handy.

Dancing Green Screen

haha this is creative. I like how it shows where the green screen is at first. I like the background he went with. It really gives that dance flow to the piece. The speakers are also a nice touch. There is a weird bubble around his head. I dont know if it is a light or what but its interesting. He does a good job with the editing and it is a fun little project.

Corny Green Screen

This was a very corny project. It made me laugh but I guess never doing a green screen project before it works well. It was obviously extremely fake. I dont like the beginning part with the guy standing in the middle of nowhere, but not even on a mountain. He is just floating in space and it is a little uncomfortable. Its cool how they did the effects and I think the music works well with it.
