Early One Morning

[Lesley Jones]

I really don't know what I'm doing in this section. My first ever smart phone has an absolutely rubbish camera and video. The former has such a delay that my subject has often left the room before it goes into action. I'm addicted to the video though...

My Dad always used a cine camera, but this is the first time I have ever played with moving images and the novelty factor with the animals is unlikely to fade. I was awake around 5.30 this morning when the kitten decided he needed "Mummy time". I was just able to reach into the bedside cabinet and get the phone. Over the next hour I took around 40 clips and at the time I jokingly thought about a short movie called Early One Morning. Having discovered the Movie Maker on the new computer this afternoon, I set about creating something and I've just finished.

It's not really supposed to be shared - I won't let anyone near me with a camera and yet I videod myself - I guess this is documentary style and somehow I'm OK with that. (I may not be in the morning though...)

Actually - the video is so slow to upload that I may have to post this and edit tomorrow. We're down to 14Kbps now and I need to go to bed.

Although I don't like lomo products, check out the Lomokino

I'm looking forward to it Lesley.

Hmmm... my husband suggested saving differently, but although the numbers vary a lot, the file size hardly changes. I even tried the You Tube setting, but that was only 68Mb instead of 69Mb. It's uploading again...

And again... and again...

At one point it did nothing for nearly an hour. Then we checked task manager to find it was only uploading in tiny burts of 8KBps. I can't view it properly either, so I would be grateful if you could tell me if it works for you without stopping.

Early one morning!

Works perfectly Lesley and I enjoyed it. Nice soundtrack and the edits worked well I think.

Brilliant effort Lesley!
Videography is something I've always been interested in.
I can just never get it right. I'll post a failed effort of my catastrophe now. Lol.

One thing I must say though, I would literally die in that house of yours with that many cats. Clever creatures that unfortunately I cannot touch due to an allergy.

Here we go... Done it.
Happy laughing

That was only half the cats, but we were up to 18 at one point. The most we ever had on the bed at one time was 7 or 8

I'm glad the video works. I still can't view it at home without umpteen buffering stops, but it was really nice to put it back on the smart phone, edited and with the title and credits. I can feel a chicken movie coming on...

I think I've got mine to work now.
The thread I started looks well messy now. Lol
