Quote (taken from #commentz)

Sidenote: after adding the PicPosterous app to my iPod touch & finally taking time to create an album of some screenshots, I didn't realize I posted a few of them over the weekend...oops! So it does post instantly.

And now for today's quote:

“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” - Mark Victor Hansen

If you're into public relations & new media and don't have time to search all the daily headlines, I'd recommend you subscribe to the #commentz newsletter, published Monday-Friday by pr consultant Sarah Evans, you'll find valuable information and a nice quote or two :)

Video editing: Storytimes PSA

My latest editing project - a video promoting storytimes for The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. Hours of reviewing really cute footage into iMovie and simple layering & polishing in Adobe Premiere Pro resulting in this 58 second clip. Enjoy!

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

Snapshot Fun

So with my last post I did a mobile test from my iPod. Now I've figured out how to take snapshots of my screens, like these:

Don't judge me, I like the beat...lol

And this one:

This one is cool because I know these guys. *Shameless plug: follow them on Twitter @ftdubbb and ask about this mixtape!

After posting my comments about Erykah Badu's latest video it was time to post some new music. I'm a fan of Erykah's music, but I didn't understand the video at first.

Anywho, here's one of my favorite songs of the moment, Un-thinkable by Alicia Keys.

Visual Goodies: Rihanna's Rude Boy music video + behind-the-scenes

I'm a newbie to video editing. I've taken a few classes on the basics, and I've been in trial-and-error mode lately with Adobe Premiere. Thank goodness for tutorials!

When I watch t.v. or the occasional movie, I'm observing transitions, camera angles, graphics, the timing of music, all sorts of elements. Editing has altered the way I watch video.

The title "Visual Goodies" is my way of sharing clips that I find, well, interesting.

Here's Rihanna's latest music video, Rude Boy. This video is so heavy with colors, unique outfits, and graphics, that it's almost too much to watch! Some of the patterns in the video gives me a M.I.A. vibe. See what I mean. I also wondered after watching this for the first time if someone could have a seizure from all the layers of colors flashing. Hmmm. 

Bonus! Found some behind-the-scenes footage, too! Loving the timing of the still shots/zoom-ins & zoom-outs in the intro (around 0:34-0:45). I need to practice that. :)

Quote: Friendship

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

-George Washington (1732 - 1799)
