Jabberwocky
For a special effect my partner and I took the first picture in our video and shortened the overlay title. After that, we went ahead and animated the picture enlarge itself until the end of the sound clip that went with it and then it transitioned into the next scene. Along with this, we also learned how to apply the razor cutting tool to our audio, at the same point as our first image ended. These two ideas helped us give the clip some animation and we felt that the overall flow was better and the production had more life to it. We wanted this clip to have a dark, and mysterious feel but at the same time we wanted to make it more exciting by using unique images that were maybe a little bit off of the wall and unexpected. I was also impressed by our use of overlay titles, because they allowed us to make everything flow together and I think that they will help viewers better understand the poem.

Second Effects Sandbox
This is our second effects exploration video, and the details for this effect are:
Go to Video Effects, and select the drop down next to DISTORT.
Twirl:
Angle Set At: -4.1 to -8.1 to -119.7 to -35.9 to 69.3 t0 5.5 degrees as animation progresses
Radius: 67
Center 360.0 and 240.0
Again, these effects should be used with caution, and used only in certain situations or for short periods of time. This effect at these levels, would make a nice transition between clips maybe if you had multiple interviews or settings. If this effect were used for those purposes, I think that it would provide a nice flow to that film as well. I can see this effect making sense in a film that is geared towards teenagers or students just because it isn't too serious and would most likely better hold their attention.

How To Use Lense Flare and Twirl
Video By: Kayla and Hayley
For Lens Flare:
Go to "Generate" from the video effects
Drag the effect over/to the clip in the timeline
Go to "Effect Controls"
Set your "Flare Center" at 288.0 and 192.0
Set "Flare Brightness" at 39%
"Lense Type" at 30-500mm zoom
"Blend With" 100%
For Twirl:
Go to "Distort" in the video effects
Drag the effect over/to the clip in the timeline
Go to "Effect Controls"
Set "Angle" at 1*75 degrees
Set twirl radius at 35.0
Set "Twirl Radius" at 358.0 and 221.0 These effects look quite ridiculous and in most cases, you probably won't want to use them if you are trying to convey a serious message. They are more fun and casual effects that maybe would be cool in a commercial or music video, something that is meant to be a little off of the wall and very abstract. Even with its ridiculous qualities, it was still fun to experiment with and push the limits. Normally, this would be much more reserved.

You should vote for our video because, we tried to use a quote that went with each year. We also tried to find music that was a little different and unusual. All in all, we are proud of the theme that we worked hard to stick with.
