I learned a few things

Getting older is fantastic! One of the best parts is having more time to keep learning.

 

Since I’m currently working on a slideshow, I’ve been thinking about how much I’ve had to learn to produce them, including:

  1. how to take decent photos while making art, sometimes with plaster all over my gloved hands

  2. how to use photo editing software

  3. how to write voice-over scripts. After taking five years worth of writing classes and writing critique, I still find this part of it painful and tedious.

  4. how to control my voice for the voice-over. I was unhappy with how rushed and unenthusiastic I sounded. Three different classes helped me to get better at it.

  5. how to use software that combines photos and voice into a cogent whole

  6. how to convert the slideshow file to video and then upload it to my site

I also learned that not every photo belongs in a slideshow. The above photo is of an unsuccessful experiment I tried when working on Piggie.

 

On this page are a few of my completed slideshows.
