My most recent project consisted of making a graphic and video of a fake workshop for April fools. I started out with the graphic, taking the template for DKC workshops, and designed it to advertise “printing anti-dkc propaganda in sticker form!” The graphic was fairly simple to make, and I had lots of fun with it. I tried to get creative with it and add some cool effects. I think it turned out well.

Next, I was tasked to make a short trailer for this workshop. I started with a story board. My aim was to make it short and sweet as my last video was quite a bit longer than it was supposed to be.

Next, I had to make some props. The easier part was drawing a bunch of “anti-dkc propaganda” with markers and notebook paper. However, to make my propaganda stickers I needed to use the Cricut, and so I got trained. I was happy to learn how to use another resource here in the DKC, and I was able to create my stickers for my video! (The design was hand drawn on procreate and then imported to Canva)

Finally, I was ready to record! I got Addi to be the star of my video, and we shot relatively quickly, then I used the mics to record a separate voiceover audio. I feel like I better understand how to use the audio sets now which I am happy about. I used Clipchamp to edit my video and found it easy to use and more advanced than Canva which was nice. I finished up my video and uploaded it to YouTube for the captions. Here is my final product!
Overall, I found this project very fun, I was glad I got to use the video and audio kits more, I feel like I have a better handle on that now. I am especially glad I got trained on the Cricut because I like knowing how to use more of the technology we offer around here.
