“Welcome to Walking Thoughts with Katy.” *chime sound effect*<\/p>\n

*the sound of wooden construction*<\/p>\n

“Who put these benches here? Why are there so many? Did Mary Washington like benches? Is that why they’re here?”<\/p>\n

*the sounds of keyboards typing*<\/p>\n

“It’s the HCC! I Work There!”<\/p>\n

*the sound of birds chirping*<\/p>\n

“What a funny little guy. He’s got no head, and a big belly.” <\/p>\n

“Big tree.”<\/p>\n

This has been Walking Thoughts with Katy. Keep wandering. *chime sound effect*<\/p>\n

Media<\/h2>\n

I got all my sound effects, including the “magic wand sparkle”, “birds chirping near the river”, “chatting with a laptop”, and “cutting trees with chainsaw ambiance and axe hits” from unknown creators on MixKit<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The background music is a track called “Valley Sunset” by Alejandro Maga\u00f1a on MixKit<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Canva<\/h2>\n

I like Canva because of its simplicity. It’s easy to learn and has quite a few resources, like animations, graphics, and fun templates. However, it is frustrating to see all of the premium elements that I, a lowly freeloader, don’t have access to, and sometimes I feel limited in how much editing I can do. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bonus Tools<\/h2>\n

For this project, I went to the HCC front desk to check out some audio equipment. I’ve had a little experience with the audio recorder before and I think the nice sound makes the video feel a little higher quality. I just filmed my video with my phone’s camera. I also used SoundTrap to edit my audio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Journey<\/h2>\n

I started by planning out my transcript, and the shots I wanted to get. I like to write things out so I can make sure that I have a nice variety and so that I can film as efficiently as possible. Then I went outside and filmed as I walked around. I got shy though, so I changed a couple of shots so I could hide and film away from judging eyes and potential sneak attacks. After I got my shots, I uploaded them to Canva and began editing. Then I added in my audios from SoundTrap. I made two separate tracks: one for the voiceover, and one for the music and sound effects. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
