Night Shift

Thanks for sharing @Mazarita, beautiful.

@Former-Member I am naturally an early riser. The past few months I've been medicated as my nights got very messy and left me disoriented. Hopefully one day I can get back to my old self who passes out in a second and wakes refreshed and ready for the day.

@Decadian it's warmer here too in Sydney and we have rain. How are you this morning? I'm still waking up, but looking forward to a weekend of doing nothing - often when I plan to do nothing I get creative, so I decided to stop planning. Could do some work on my scrap book.

@Faith-and-Hope sounds like you have a very busy but also exciting weekend ahead! So many things happening at once. Well done on your art work, sounds great!

@Former-Member, yes I adapt the video from various legally available sources including a royalty-free subscription site, creative commons sharing and old public domain footage sometimes too.

Thanks, @Former-Member. 🙂

Wow @Faith-and-Hope. That all makes my brain hurt. I used to be able to juggle that but wouldn't and don't cope anymore. But you are right to have your art. It's really great that you're entering the completion. Good luck, I'll have my fingers crossed. Laughed at the great big fat Greek 18th. I hope that all goes well too. Hopefully after that you'll be able to breathe again. But as you said you have lots of memories in the making😊💜

Yeah ..... makes my head spin too @Former-Member if I start to stress about it all .... but I learned a long time ago that it's like the threads on this forum ..... you work with main ones, and pick up the occasional fleeting one, and sometimes take a break, and sometimes overlook stuff, or don't buy in, or whatever .....

Its just what you can, when you can, and resting in between .....

Gonna sign of again now, and try to get a bit more sleep before morning-proper is here .....

G'night everybody

❤️

That's great @Mazarita. You must spend hours finding the right material. Is that your biggest challenge for you doing this work, finding to right video clips? For me I would imagine the music comes a bit easier. I really enjoyed that video😊💜

Goodnight @Faith-and-Hope. I hope you get some peaceful sleep😴

Goodnight, sleep well, @Faith-and-Hope.

@Former-Member, you are right that a major part of the process is finding the material. Music and video and text (and especially voice recordings) can take a lot of time to find. Then, being a perfectionist, I usually also spend a lot of time in the editing, mixing up the elements in different ways to find an outcome I am satisfied with. I never really know what I am going to find in the process and don't pre-plan very much, which makes it an interesting surprise how things turn out in the end and keeps me curious and wanting to do more. A time consuming but ultimately rewarding occupation. So glad you liked the one I posted. I really enjoyed working with @PeppiPatty's lovely words. They were also in a painting she posted recently. Her creativity is wonderful. 🙂

Yes I saw her paintings @Mazarita. They were fabulous and I read the poem too. I would agonise over the font and size and transitions of the font and video and the timing let alone the material. I understand the time consuming aspect. I have very little experience in video editing but I understand how complex it is but I would imagine very rewarding too putting random things together to make something beautiful.😊💜

@Former-Member. I hope you enjoy your time being creative this weekend too

i am getting tired again. About to go back to sleep. Have a good day everyone.

@Former-Member, sleep well. 🙂
