    i wanna see this NOWWWW!!!!!!

    I tried making one of these puppies, but i'm too weird and awkward in front of the camera. i couldn't put any effects in it either because i'm still learning this new editing suite.

    c'mon vid. upload already!

    i think i'm becoming karen abad groupie.

    :-D
  • Haha I left for a couple hours to do stuff and it still didn't finish uploading, it just stopped...haha..but it's pretty much what was on the beginning of the mret up video, i just added an ending so it wasn't so abrupt. This has nothing of me talking in front of the camera. haha.


    Haha please do not be a karen abad groupie..there's nothing to see here...move along..haha.

    (i'm already a loonachic groupie...circa 2007....hee hee)

    You are awesome!

    Neato keen! Hey, what's the name of the Vimeo font? I've been looking for it for a while now, and I can't seem to find the exact match.
  • You know what, i have no idea...I took the image of the name from the site and vectored it in Illustrator before bringing it into after effects.

    :-) Carleton..u should do what i posted on the construction paper blog....if you have time.

    Great job Karen! I feel welcomed, even though I've been here longer then you!
  • Hahah I think everyone has (for the most part). I've (really been here) since late October, early November. this is what my life has become...it's become so integrated with real life that I'm making letters/packages to vimeo friends and turning in vimeo projects for class assignments. haha.

    That was just so pleasing! :) Really nice job. ^_^ I should be more active, hehe.
  • You should make some videos! We would love to see them!

    :-)
  • Jessica 7 months ago
    Oh! Well, I think I will this week. I just need an idea and, maybe some courage. :o
    But I really will. Probably something like an introduction.
    Thank you!
  • Oh man I'm really excited. I think it'll be great.

    Yeah an introduction is always great. Make it kinda interesting maybe say 5 sounds that you like hearing, or your favorite color and maybe film things that are that color, or things that you like. The possibilities are endless!

    What editing software do you use? Are you paid for promoting this? yeah. Can you hire me? I love Vimeo too!
  • I use Avid and Final Cut Pro. I am not getting paid for this. I made this as a part of a video I did for some friends to promote their trip. vimeo.com/469522 and I was just asked to edit this down as a testimonial.

    I don't really get paid for any video work I do...I do it because I love to..which is probably a stupid idea since I'm a broke grad student. At any rate...welcome to vimeo!

    G'day Karen. I thought your film about Vimeo was absolutely spot-on in so far as the community goes. Several times I've commented about how willing people on Vimeo are to explain a technique. Vimeo is a comfortable place -- there are few, if any, unfriendly sharp edges. I think people like your film because it says what they feel. Bravo, well done! It's also good because I can see one of my 5x5's in one shot ;-)
  • Aww Arnold you're awesome. This place is so warm, so friendly, so familiar. Even if I decided to stop making videos one day, I know that I've met people on here that I will be friends with for a long long long time. This place is home.

    Karen, I've been watching some of your videos and you've inspired me. All I have is a kodak z1275 camera for video and my macbook with iMovie, but let's see what happens. I'll let you know when I've got something - I'm sure it will be a little while - and I'm sure it will be badddddd!!!
    Love your beautiful work.
  • Thank you so much for your kind words Florian. Remember, if you need help with anything as far as editing, exporting, compression, etc let any of us in the community know and we would be glad to help out in any way we can. I can't wait to see what you make, remember, the possibilities are endless. :-) Have a great day.
