This is sort of a new era of my vids, so feedback is especially appreciated. Let me know what I'm doing wrong, what I'm doing right, or just if I'm doing so-so. Special thanks to Sony Vegas for being an awesome editing program. :)

September 19, 2005... That was the last time I posted a vid, not including class assignments. I outgrew my vidding program, and my poor, old laptop wouldn't let me expand my horizons. I recently got a new desktop, however, and it has allowed me such growth. So now, after two years, I present... a Supernatural vid!

Angsty man pain. Need I say more?

This is sort of a new era of my vids, so feedback is especially appreciated. Let me know what I'm doing wrong, what I'm doing right, or just if I'm doing so-so. Special thanks to my new computer, Kyle HP. It's not an exaggeration when I say that he made this vid possible. Also, snuggles to [livejournal.com profile] tehshroom because she is made of awesome. :)

I finished the anniversary video!

The party went well, and the video was a hit. My mom cried. My grandfather cried. My cousin cried. My brother cried. I cried afterwards. We were just a little emotional mess. But it was the good kind of emotional mess. Now I get to make about half a dozen copies of the video to give to my aunts. *g*

Special thanks to Shroomy for being my technical advisor and also to Roadie and Alex for putting up with my whining. *snuggles you all*

EDIT: My brother just sent me a long, sappy e-mail about how he loves me. Now I am definitely crying! *sniffle*

So, that vid I'm making for my grandparents' 50th anniversary? Their actual anniversary is on Dec. 24m which is what I had been planning my vidding schedule around. When does my mom expect it to be finished? Two days from now when we have a party for them. I asked her, for crying out loud, when I heard about the party if she expected the vid to be done by then, and she told me no. She apparently changed her mind and didn’t tell me.

I know we share a brain, Mom, but your half doesn't always communicate with my half. TELL ME THESE THINGS BEFORE I ONLY HAVE TWO DAYS LEFT. And I still don't know how to use Premiere!

Also, I hate her laptop even if it does amuse me with chipmunk voices…

*bangs head on desk repeatedly*

My grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary will be December 24. I wanted to do something very special for them: a vid made up of photographs of their lives and their children's lives, etc. My mom and I have been planning this off and on for two years now. I left the job of collecting and scanning the photos to my mom, but she is very much behind, as in she hasn't even started. *shakes head at her* So, if she even gets to it, I'm going to have to be working rapidly to complete the vid by Christmas Eve. And considering the workload I have for the end of semester, I won't even get to really plan it (that includes learning a new vidding program!) until I get out for the holidays in the first week of December. Focusing on that will leave me precious little time for anything else, even the pressies and cards and such I want to send out to my lovies on my F-List and my family. I prefer to make my own gifts, so there is another time crunch. There are some other things going on right now, too, but I don't want to talk about them here just yet.

*muffins F-List*

The video yearbook is done!

We reached only 300 250 copies instead of the 400 we originally wanted, but hey, that's still pretty good.

So, anyone on campus who is reading this, keep tuned to the school e-mail to see when they will be passed out -- though I believe that will happen Dead Day. And get your copy! Get a copy or I'll cry...
skroberts: (Dinozzo Sleepy by skroberts)
I finished the video yearbook editing yesterday. Today and for the rest of the weekend, my team is copying the finished product on to DVD. This should be the easy part, right? Not so much.

EDIT: After almost 6.5 hours of work... ~127 of 400 copies completed.

And that's not counting the labels. Oy.

Now presenting... my very first Stargate Atlantis vid!

Title: Mad World

Size: 7.07 MB
Category: Character Deaths, Tragedies in the Pegasus Galaxy
Motivation: The song randomly popped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone.
Spoilers: Through "The Siege, Part 1"

[ X ]

This is a tribute to all who have died on the show so far. This is not a happy vid. It made my roommate cry. It makes me cry. It may make you cry, so have some tissues handy, just incase.

Now presenting... my very first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) vid!

Title: Water
By: Sarah K. Roberts
Song: By Frank Steiner, Jr.
Size: 5.95 MB
Category: Episode -- "Shredder Strikes Back, Part 1", Drama/Angst
Motivation: Leo angst!
Spoilers: "Shredder Strikes Back, Part 1"

[ X ]

It's an episode vid, so obviously, there are significant spoilers! It's a Leo-centric vid. The text you see throughout is from a poem I wrote specifically to use for this vid, though I had to edit it to fit the time. *g*

Feedback is always appreciated!!
skroberts: (Sarah Pic)
I just got notification about an assignment, say, and hour or so ago.

I have to produce/direct/film/edit/etc. yet another "film"... this time, a video for the yearbook. I have less that a month to get everything pulled together and have it finished - in addiction to everything else I have to do for other classes. Unlike my music video from last semester, I have minions helpers, so maybe it can all get done with minimal stress. And this would count as our final exam, which kinda rocks.

Anyway... If I'm not around for long periods of time, I'm not ignoring you! Well, maybe I am, but not because I don't love you. *g*

I have to thank [livejournal.com profile] seamusharper for inviting me into a chat recently. I was just chatting away, or rather trying to keep up with what everyone else was saying, when my screen name SKRoberts got mentioned. It led to this...

Beth: your SkRoberts?
Beth: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sarah: Yes, I am SKRoberts. :)
Beth: GOD I LOVE YOUR WORK!
Beth: *smiley of disbelief*
Beth: it's hot in here I'm chatting with a Legend!!
Sarah: Are you talking about me, [Beth]?
Beth: Yes!!
Beth: This is the Maker of Touriquet ya'll
Sarah: So, I have a vid fan!
Beth: God yes!!!
Beth: I play that video every day twice a day

After that, I left the chat because it was giving me a headache and chatted with the fan, learning her name and such. I know for sure she watched the vid at least twice while chatting with me! :D

This makes my life feel validated... I had not contact with this person before this, yet she's not only seen, but loves my vids. That makes me unbelievably happy.

Now presenting... my very first Firefly vid!

Title: Prospero's Speech
By: Sarah K. Roberts
Song: By Loreena McKennitt
Size: 5.59 MB
Category: Episode vid -- "Out of Gas", Drama
Motivation: It's the best episode of Firefly ever, in my opinion at least... Need I another reason than that?!
Spoilers: "Out of Gas"

[ X ]

It's an episode vid, so obviously, there are significant spoilers! It's mostly centered on Mal, but all the characters are in there. You may need tissues for this vid, so keep them handy, just in case. ;)

Since Shakespeare isn't really mainstream lyrics material, in my opinion, here are the lyrics if you'd like to follow along. :)

Title: Gotta Get Thru This
By: Sarah K. Roberts
Song: By Daniel Bedingfield
Size: 8.23 MB
Motivation: Is it my fault "Lost City" was so good I had to make two vids about it?!
Spoilers: "Lost City, Part 1 and 2"

[ X ]

It's an episode vid, so obviously, there are significant spoilers! Yes, this is my second vid for these episodes. But I can completely justify it because both are done in different styles and have different scenes and are just different. *g*

Feedback is always appreciated!!

I've decided that my roommate really shouldn't go home on the weekends and leave me alone to do things like this...

There I was, trying to make a decent audio post, and I just couldn't hold myself together. Being amused and bored at the same time isn't necessarily a good thing. Anyway, here is a little bit of fun... me talking with pictures and such of the subject. :D
