I was stuck in an edit trying to make sense of a new showreel for my music video work, designed to be the first thing you see on my website. I鈥檓 aiming to put together a super slick 60 seconds of interesting visuals (cut to a track from my favourite independent musician Chris Catalyst.)
$3.40 ATH the other day was incredible.
My vote has easily surpassed the $1 for the first time.
Watching the price has been more exciting than any TV show out there right now.
I鈥檝e been on here 4 years building, posting and connecting - so it鈥檚 wonderful to see some gains in price. I remember the seemingly never ending $0.15 bear market so vividly 馃槀
But here we are.
I keep getting distracted by the price on CoinGecko!
Something exceptional is happening here on HIVE.
For the interest of a future record, todays price sits at $2.29
I usually I find this kind of showreel video edit pretty straightforward to be honest. When I鈥檓 not being distracted that is. It was very late last night 馃槀
Selecting the best bits of my work and finding them the right place is usually easy but I鈥檓 struggling with this one for some reason..
A few years ago made this showreel (below) and I was really pleased with the results. I wanted something personal, a bit light and accessible. So I went out and shot some piece-to-camera shots of me rambling about my work..
I鈥檓 not making anything as extensive as that on this occasion, however I did shoot some pieces to camera for my new showreel over this summer. I think I did a post about it.
But the clips and delivery don鈥檛 seem right in this edit and I think they lacked the same kind of spirit as the other one. Perhaps it just feels like I鈥檓 recycling the same idea - which I don鈥檛 like to do with my work, if possible to avoid.
I didn鈥檛 want to force it to work either so I鈥檝e just left it to be a simple visual demo for the time being.
It features work for bands like Paradise Lost, Chris Catalyst, Shrapnel, The Empty Page, 1919, Bloodbath, Carol Hodge, The Scaramanga Six, Paul Morricone.
As you can see on the timeline there are some fairly obvious gaps to still fill with the best stuff.
I鈥檓 working this project on my 2012 MacBook Pro from home. It鈥檚 an old machine, but still a workhorse for quick editing stuff I do in the evenings.
I鈥檓 working from an external 2TB SSD drive which is lovely and fast, however the USB 2.0 is the bottleneck.
I really fancy a new MacBook Pro M1 machine.
(Also fancy a new camera. But that鈥檚 for another time!)
Fantastic to be a part of this platform and I鈥檝e still got SO MUCH to learn about it! 馃槏
