Here is my iMovie product, Journey to Australia. I traveled to Australia in the summer of 2008 to "find myself" and ended up running out of money, almost falling off a cliff, and exploring croc invested waters (probably not the best idea...). To put it simply, it was the coolest summer of my life. I haven't tried to tell my story from that summer before, so this project was very fun for me. Since I went to Australia two years ago (as a younger and rasher version of my present self) it was great to relive the memories of that time. I hope you enjoy my journey to Australia.
This is not the first time I've edited a movie on a computer. In middle school I went through a movie-making phase that culminated in two separate, massive, and unfinished movie products. The first, Yellowship of the Ring, was inspired by The Lord of the Rings. I spent the summer after seventh grade writing a gargantuan screenplay and ordering all my friends around as we stumbled through the forests of Knoxville wearing Middle Earth costumes. The summer was too short to finish filming the entire script, but the product was loosely wrapped up.
The second project was an original movie, titled Casserole. Roughly based on the movie Cocoon, the story followed Pinocchio and a lunch lady involved in an intergalactic drama. Needless to say, the scope of the story prevented us from finishing the movie. Tragically, the film was lost in the sands of time.
So I am not a stranger to the trials and tribulations of movie-making. It is a frustrating and infatuating process, if you have the time to spend. I am a detail-oriented person, so making even small movies like this one can take me several hours in order to get everything perfect. But once you get a product that lives up to the storyboard, the feeling is one of pride and satisfaction.
