Techniques and Experimemtation

Problem Solving

Like any other project problems will occur and they did. During the time of experimentation they happened a lot. I wanted to create a glass video effect on my promo but I didn’t know how to make it. I had to look for a tutorial online but when I followed everyone step it still didn’t come out how I wanted. It took four tries to get the glass effect I wanted.

When I finally figured out how to create the glass effect I was able to change the shape from circle to squares, triangles, and pentagon. I was even to create movement on the glass effect by playing around with scale keys. The effect looks great on my video it gives it a more youthful and energetic look.

Another problem that occurred during my project was the adobe premiere kept crashing down. When I filmed everything for my promo video I wanted to edit on Premiere but it kept shutting down. I decided to move on a different computer but it kept happening my teacher suggested that I should convert each footage file to the same format. It could be effecting the project file but it didn’t. I tried editing on an old version of premiere and it worked. I was able to work on my home mac and finish my editing. I even had enough time of receive feedback from friends and adjust it to their likings.
