Well, the final assignment for the Premiere Pro video editing course I took this summer was to do a Music Video.
We were encouraged to think about 'copyright' in our selection of music. So.... I sent a note off to my singer/songwriter nibling Meighan Johnson, and she sent me a 'pre-production' version of a song that she wrote! [completed album is scheduled for the fall?]
(Richard, Mary, Catherine, Rebecca, Kelvin, Bonnie)
I canvassed my siblings for ideas about what to do for the song, and settled on the idea of using the amazing marionettes of us that Bonnie commissioned from Elizabeth Pattie (since Bonnie had all of them at her place in Salmon Arm). We thought it would be fun to have the marionettes hanging out doing things in different places on the property.
(Kelvin, Miles and Doral)
My role in all of this was only to do the EDITING (that was the point of the course, afterall).
I was very happy to have the siblings and niblings do the work of gathering video assets for me to work with! So Mary and Bonnie got busy making a 'storyboard' of ideas for filming. And then Mary, Bonnie, Michael, Alice and Betty headed off in to the woods, armed with my camera, on a quest for filming locations. Between the group of them, they took turns behind the camera lens, and operating the marionnettes!
Here is the completed video (including the credits!)
