Vlogging: BQE Jazz

In Aug '05, I shot some short video clips of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, which has one of the best views of Manhattan. As with my 1st vlog post, used an Olympus D-380 camera. Had edited the clips into a 2 minute music video, but was never quite satisfied with the results. Dusted that off the other day, and made some minor tweaks to the editing in Windows Movie Maker. Finally posted it here (a 2.6 MB .wmv file encoded at 169Kbps). Clicking on the photo to the right will also open the video.

This video was edited while playing around with several effects in Windows Movie Maker such as: speeding clips up, rotating / flipping clips, and overlapping clips together. The editing software does have its limitations, though I was pleasantly surprised at the results. Of additional note - the program is somewhat buggy and it wound up crashing many times (especially while stacking several effects on top of one another).

All life is art direction.....
