Metaphor of Self Project

I had a great time working on this project. The two video projects were probably my favorites because I got to work on my video-making skills. I tend to do more photoshop work, so these projects really enhanced my skill set in general. The production process actually went very well. I did my best to make the transitions between the footage fit well with the beat of the song. I chose Acid Rain by Lorne because I’ve always had an image of a car video to this song. When working on this project, I worked for a very long time on the transitions. The clips had to hit at the time of the beat, which wasn’t too difficult but it definitely took a long time. I found getting the right footage difficult, especially when filming with an iPhone in a convertible on the freeway. I knew exactly what I wanted to do when this project was presented in recitation. I have always had an image in my mind about this song. I had an image of a car driving down the highway with neon lights shining over the car. It’s a little hard to do that while in a different car in Houston, Texas on the highway. What surprised me at the end of this was how much I enjoyed the product that I made. It really spoke to me and the Metaphor of Self Project was my other favorite of the projects that I did this semester.
