Animoto Video


Make your own photo slideshow at Animoto.

In my video, I used 14 of my pictures. For the background I picked the inked one, I really like that one. I didn't add any captions because every time I did it took some of my photos away. I wanted to use most of my photos so I didn't add the captions. I had a title at first but then I took it away because I didn't like how it looked. It looked better without it. I did kind of want captions because they did look cool but I wanted to use more pictures then it would let me, so I opted out. I made sure I previewed my video each time I changed something, just to make sure it looked good.

Out of all the 20 pictures I took, this one is by far my favorite. I love the angle. First to edit this image I played around with all of the different tools. After I found out what I liked I did about 5 things. First I set the contrast to 50. Then I set the vibrance of the picture to 100. After that I sharpened the picture to 200. Then after that I made a blur. Instead of just a regular blur, I made a focal blur which was a horizontal one. I moved it around until I liked the position it was in. The last thing I did was I went to the color boost tool and set that to 27.

The Beginning

My blog "burrito bowl and guacamole" is everything that I love. The title comes from Chipotle, one of my favorite places to eat. I always get a burrito bowl and guacamole. This blog will help me show you what I love. It will consist of everything that I love, from art to food to pictures of places and anything in between. Every time I see something I love, I will post it on here and let everyone see it. This blog will let me be myself and you guys will hopefully get to see that. My blog will consist of my art and other people's art and I will explain the art work. Anybody who sees this will get to go inside of the artist's head and maybe understand why they did what they did. Everything I post on here will be something I love and I want to share it will you. My blog will be exciting and filled with things I love to eat, places I love to go, and everything I love to draw. It will also consist of my favorite artist's pieces and I will explain their art on here. Hopefully, my blog will be entertaining and informational, and I hope you enjoy it!!
