Good old music video

Introduction

Do you like watching music videos or maybe you just want to see an amateur struggle to create one? If so, I recommend you read this post as it might give you some insight into video editing and how fun but also difficult it can be.

The project

This time I was meant to write about my favorite project. At first, I was a bit worried as I couldn’t really think of any. That was until I reminded myself of one. The one that I still enjoy going back to from time to time till this day. And to be more precise – an AMV (Anime Music Video).

The creation

I created it over two years ago and it was actually the second edit I’ve ever made. I remember being inspired by one video I watched on YouTube where someone perfectly synchronized the video with music. I wanted to create something similar. I decided to use the song “Beat it” by Michael Jackson. It might be because I used to listen to it at that time. I also wanted the clips to match the lyrics of the song. Anyways, one day I decided to begin the process, and I went all in, literally. I spent the whole day working on the project, definitely over 10 hours. I was so involved that I didn’t even take a break to eat dinner. I just brought the food to my room and continued the work while eating. I ended up finishing and uploading it the same day before going to bed.

Problems and why it can be difficult

I mentioned at the beginning that it can be difficult. It is because you not only need an idea but also a matching clip. Searching for the clips is definitely the most time-consuming part. I had to go through all the different episodes of a single series just to find something I was looking for. And to the problems, the fact that I was so determined to finish it on the same day ended up backfiring. There were some problems with the video smoothness that I didn’t realize, and I had to edit it later on anyways. I also didn’t focus on creating a proper thumbnail which I kind of regret.

Shortly about the English learning

The one goal I’ve had since the beginning of my studies was improving my oral skills. As I mentioned in the previous post, I’ve never really had many opportunities to actually speak English before coming here. I have to say that I’ve made huge progress during the last few months which I’m really happy about. And it’s only going to get better the more I use English in my everyday life.

Conclusion

The project I described was definitely my favorite and I’ve had a lot of fun working on it. There were some things I could’ve done better but overall I think it turned out really well. I still enjoy watching it to this day, I actually did it two times right before writing this post. The funny thing is that you can do it too if you want. I wasn’t sure if I should share it here but well, here’s the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5rgXttW3W8

    This was such an engaging and relatable read! Your passion for video editing really shines through, and I love how you captured both the excitement and the challenges of creating an AMV. Spending over 10 hours in one go just shows how dedicated you were to the project! Your progress in English is also really impressive! It’s great to hear that you’re gaining confidence in speaking, and it’s only going to keep improving the more you use it in daily life.

Don't make me think

Introduction This time I was tasked to read a book, something I would’ve never done otherwise, and write about it here in this post. I chose a book titled “Don't Make Me Think” by Steve Krug because the title caught my attention. I decided to see what it is about and after taking a look at it I decided to give it a try and read the first two chapters. Here’s what I have to say about it. What is it about In the first two chapters the author talks about how people really use the Web and why they don’t want to think while doing so. The author says that the design of the webpages should be straightforward and simple so that users know immediately where to click. The naming should be easy and the buttons that are meant to be clicked should look, well, clickable. The author points out a few reasons for this design. One of them being that people don’t really read pages but rather scan them. They don’t open the website with the intention of reading everything but simply finding what ...

Finland, blogging and learning English

-
About me My Information Processing Science studies story began a few years ago, though back then it was nothing more than a random idea. For some reason, I really wanted to come to Finland and one day I began to consider studying there. And so, for the past two years I’ve been working towards it. It was a stressful period as it was connected to my high school graduation and thus, I’ve had a lot going on. I ended up having to wait until July to know if I can really come here. But in the end, everything turned out well, though arriving here was only a part of success. Starting a new life in a foreign country alone can be very tough, and it took me some time to really settle down. And so, here I am, beginning the third period of my studies. Blogging The funny thing about blogging to me is that I’ve never really heard anything about it and thus I didn’t see the value it brings to the table. However, after reading an article about blogging advantages I can think of a few ways in which...
