Day trip to Ballan in Victoria, Australia. One of my favourite places in Victoria.
Footage a bit shakey, but it was the first time I really took this camera out. Cool camera. And I am ashamed to say I haven’t used it since! OMG, naughty, naughty.
Song: Breathe Me by Sia
Camera: Canon HV30, no filters

God damn it, I just saw a brilliant post on mixergy about common craft which is company that creates animated, stop motion, paper cut-out tvc’s to educate and explain to users about complicated subjects, like Twitter, social networking, blogging etc
Brilliant idea. But that got me thinking about my own animation “Falling Feather” above and how I haven’t leveraged it as well as I could have. I put the “Falling Feather” animation up on vimeo a few years ago and haven’t done much or showed it to anyone and it still has like 20 comments and had 3,000 views and like by 32 people. That animation helped me produce two TVC’s (television commercials) and I have also subsequent had offers to produce TVC’s (tv commercials) from it, on Vimeo and although the deal fell through, it still shows me that the idea is popular and I should “get it out there” some more.
My idea was to do a lot of video animation with my new shopping site, but that interview on common craft has got my thinking a lot more. The problem with me is that I am not a full-on sales person and I’m not very good at promoting my skills. This is not a good thing at all!!
I know my site will centre around video and animation elements quite a bit, because a) I love creating video projects and b) video can tell a story a lot better than words at times c) It think shop owners can allow their users to get to know them better through video and telling stories. As seen in the common craft videos.
Something to think about!
