I fed the AI a prompt, asking it to animate a short, 60-minute clip of a man riding the bus, listening to music, and traveling to his job at a bookshop.

this is the rough cut of my final project, Audio was corrupted, need to shoot the closing shot.

A very short scene of my final project. I simply wanted to put my time into an idea I had for my final version, a sort of proof of concept edit. It’s a relatively simple edit but I have never done it before and thought it would fit the overall theme of my video rather well.

So here’s a short snippet of my hand at this kind of effect.

Not finished putting it together. I will also add my own “store” music and sound effects!

The story is about a character searching for a grocery store product. The problem they are facing is that it seems no store has what they are looking for.

For my final, I decided to make a short story narrating my struggles with procrastination and getting work done on time. My rough cut has raw audio and the layout, and the final cut will have background tracks for the mood, as well as more proper effects and text. Enjoy!

For my final project, I planned to create a montage inspired by a project I completed in my art class called “Synesthesia.” In that project, we listened to various instrumental tracks featuring sounds and vocal tones but no actual lyrics and drew what we imagined or “saw” as we listened. I have not added the soundtrack that inspired this montage because I wanted to focus on getting the video as close to my original vision as possible. As I finished editing, I felt like something was missing, which led me to experiment with additional editing and effects. In my vision for this project, I imagined the video resembling an old film or VHS tape, so I did my best to replicate that aesthetic.

I really wanted to highlight my love for instructional videos, as this may be something I pursue in my future career (plus, it’s portfolio gold!). I still need to record a voiceover, add some transitions, and trim another minute from the video. When editing, I usually start with the basic information I want to include and then refine it further. My goal is to piece together the story before focusing on the finer details.

There are some lighting issues in the video that I wish I could have fixed, but I might cut that entire scene since it looks terrible. I also want to add music to make the video fun and spunky to watch. Maybe I’ll include on-screen lines to show where to sew, but I’m still figuring that out. Additionally, I’ll include timestamps to help viewers find specific parts of the video easily.
