While I export my movie...

While my movie is exporting, I thought I'd put up some still frames on the good 'ol blog. Basically my process involved doing lots of pencil drawings and making a zillion origami cranes! After I did that I used string and tape and sticky tack to prop up the birds in the positions I wanted them while shooting. My final number of frames was somewhere between 600 and 700... after deleting lots of awful ones. I didn't use all the shots... I narrowed it down to somewhere close to 500. Then I edited the shots in photoshop, trying to adjust the lighting and reduce color casts. Then I dropped them into imovie, added music, voiceovers, titles, transitions... I also had to download imovie 6 in an attempt to speed up some parts of the movie, but that didn't pan out like I had hoped. Overall I like the outcome :P But what I like even more is the fact that it's done! :-D
