For the past month or so I've been working on a new Ladue View intro, since we haven't had a new one in a couple of years. I started the process by story boarding, since my idea was super complicated. I've never really used a story board before but it has really helped and I think I'll do it more often. I chose to make this video because I like doing more creative projects and I had the opportunity to do whatever I want, within reason. Unfortunately, I waited way too long to start shooting. I think I was nervous because I've never done a project where every single shot has to be perfectly framed. I think the project I created for myself was intimidating and it took me a second to get myself started. Once I did get started, however, it wasn't as difficult as I anticipated. Since the beginning is stop motion-like I had to carefully take 22 of the exact same picture in different locations. I think is psyched myself out. I still have a few shots I need to get to finish my video up. I'm disappointed in myself that it isn't complete, but I want to make it perfect so as long as the final product is something I'm proud of, I think it will be okay. Moving forward, I plan on story boarding more and starting the production process earlier. I think this year I've learned that I prefer editing way more than actually filming. I like piecing clips together because that's where my creativity comes into play. After I finish the intro, I have a few ideas lined up that I'm really looking forward to.
