My initial idea for my project was to create a fun, in your face intro for my videos on my future youtube channel. I wanted crazy transitions, and text spelling out my name that beated with the beat of the song but once I actually started my draft i realized how difficult my idea really was and how inexperienced I was with the program.

I also ran into the problem of my videos not fitting the screen correctly.  Out of frustration of trying many different formats, i came to conclusion that i would have to just let them be. After my formatting mishap, i ran into another issue. I couldn’t think of a song to go with my video. Whenever i watch youtube videos, the intros always have a upbeat tempoed song. I came across a fun song called Midnight City by M83 that i used to listen to all the time in like middle school. I found a downloaded version on a free website called hungama.com. The song went along great with my video but i didn’t like the singing in the song so i cut the song up until i essentially made my own instrumental of the song using the parts of the song that i liked.

Once i finished with the song, i know that my video was still basic. I had too many clips to put transitions in between each one so i decided to create a motion text at the end with my name on it. It’s a simple black background with a white border around my name. It kind of pops up as the music fades away. It adds a simple cute touch to my video.

Even though my video didn’t turn out how i planned it, it is still something i am proud of as this was my first time doing something like this.
