Music Video “Come Together

I made a music video for “Come Together” by the Beatles.  I used some tools such as “Windows Movie Maker”, “Audacity”, and so on. I shoot two videos in which I and Ken are playing the bass and guitar with songs from two different angles. We actually played the guitar or bass, but sometimes we pretended to play them; singing as well. Then I combine the two videos, and other videos which I took from you tube by using Windows Movie Maker. And I made the sound muted, and I overdub sounds taken from you tube or a CD. I put some pictures from the internet or we shoot them outside. I made the pictures I took outside  like the CD cover of  ”Abbey Road” because the song is Come Together included in it.

Why I like this is the pictures which I mentioned. For the first picture, Ken, Asumi, and I looked towards the elementary school; it shows the inside, and the second picture which I put at the last of this video, we looked the other side(outside, parking area); it shows that we are going out, and the video is finishing.

And I dont why but I cannot make the movie make stile to the normal video style. (I mean I cannot save the video as the WMV style.) so I couldnt upload my video into my blog.

Star Wars’ Trailer ~Stop Animation~

I made stop animation with using Lego Bricks with my partner. This video isa star wars’ trailer,  and we made a short story for that.

As you see, we used a style of stop animation. We took about 400 pictures, and we edited and combined them. Then just 400 pictures are set into a motion and can be a video.

Why we chose this style is that we can make a motion on a material which cannot move. If you chose a normal video, you cannot easily make a motion on Lego Bricks and it would be boring. However, we used stop animation and we can edit pictures, so the video can be much better. That’s why we chose this style.

CD Cover for “Led Zeppelin I”

This is a CD cover for “Led Zeppelin I”. I used a zeppelin exploding as a original photo and edited by photoshop. I used the stamp tool to erase the dirt and dust on the original photo. Then I used quick mask to color this. I colored in several times to make the color effective. And as a last step, I used a effect over this picture to make noise, and typed “Led Zeppelin”.

This is the back CD cover for my “Led Zeppelin I”. I got this picture from internet and croped it. Then I put the songs’ names and some stuff required on it. In this picture there were originaly a different title on the left side, so I erased it by using “stamp tool”. You can see a lot of people the left up side, but I created them from original.

I’m not sure if you noticed or not, I’ve colored Jimmy Page’s guitar

How to erase dusts on photo by using photoshop

When dusts are stuck on your camera, photos sometimes have black dusts on them. That doesn’t look good, so now I’m gonna tell you how to erase them.

First, click “stamp tools” and with pushing “Alt key” on your keyboard you have to click on the area where NO DUST exists. Then, click on the dusts you wanna remove. You can erase them like this.

Why I like this is that we can make pictures much more beautiful. If there are dusts or dirts on picutres, such beautiful pictures can be bad. However, by using this tool you would be plesed with your picture even if you got dust on them.

the original photo

after editing

you can see the changes. (eg. near the end of the right wing. you can see a black dot there before editing, but it is erased after the editing.)

Black-winged Stilt (photoshoped)

I photoshoped my photo taken in France. This bird is called Black-winged Stilt which is not rare, it looks pretty good.

I used filter on the original picture and made neon.

Why I like this final product is I can see the changes crealy. When I used the other types of tool, noises happend over this picture. However, Neon made the original picture, the outerline got colorful and the final product got wonderful.
