Collaboration Project 1

This is the first of two collaborations that are required for the course this semester. For this project I decided to work with Cheryl Griffith of the blog "Life Breath Poetry". We recorded of a video of her doing one of her poems. Later, I imported the video into Blender and used the built in video editor and the 3d elements of the program to add an intro and overlay some images. You can view the final video here.

Second and maybe final draft of the ad for the book launch project. Sound was added along with some slight compositing in the video sequence editor.

Channel Intros

One of the many uses of Blender is as a tool to create YouTube intros for vloggers and Youtubers. Channel intros are usually 5 to 10 seconds long and are like the intros you see to movies and television programs. They are also known as the title sequence. There are many tutorials available on-line that can be customized to create a short intro for your vlog or YouTube channel. Having a catchy intro is a great way to attract people to your content and make them come back for more.

Learning Blender 3D.

Beginner learning resources.

This is a little guide that I hope to make into a regular feature of the blog. There are a lot of sites and resources available for persons who are new to Blender and wish to learn about the features of the software.

For beginners I would recommend Tutor4u's Blender tutorials on YouTube.

His  Blender tutorials are well explained and easy to follow. The YouTube format allows for easy replays and pauses so you can catch up and follow along at your own pace. Give this channel a try and let me know in the comments what you think about this great Blender 3D learning resource.
