"Yer Hairs: From Faux Hawks to Pixie Cuts" - Post-Production


After hunting down some of my closest friends in order to gather some pretty fresh "hair" footage, the video is complete. I am pretty proud of my video, really, I am. I worked hard in selecting the best candidates for the job. Friends of mine that are very different from each other, that have very diverse looks, not only when it comes to their hair, but in general. All of my friends have extremely different personalities anyway, so that helped to make a very dynamic video.

All in all, I wouldn't say that the video project was difficult. I would say in short, it just took a good time management. It was up to us as students to set aside the time to get out there and shoot the footage that we needed. Not only did we have to align our schedules properly with those that we got footage of, but we had to do out best to make the footage that we were able to get, work best for our video.

I learned so much about iMovie and the ability to edit something that may seem set in stone. That was one really nice feature that I found very useful in doing the project. There were some parts of my footage that were too loud and others that were just way to quite. But, with the help of some research and playing around with iMovie, I was really able to put my own spin on the footage that I shot and add some really great final touches.

I've yet to show my friends that helped me create this video the final project. But I can't wait to do so. Many of them, if not all, have already asked me about it. They're just as enthusiastic about seeing the final product as they were about actually being in the video in the first place. I was lucky enough to have a group of people by my side that were willing from the very beginning to help out and be apart of such a cool project.
