Here's a split screen version of Sandra's and my videos that were created in response to my Mixing Waters poem. I edited it on the train from Munich to Salzburg, so it's a border-crossing edit!

Questions:
a) Babli's video is a little grainier/noisier than mine -- would it be better to reshoot her video with my phone, or to leave it as is? (I uploaded a compressed version of the split screen video to make the upload faster, so the overall picture quality is a little degraded, but the difference between our two videos is still comparable).
b) What do you think of the sound and text? Originally I was going to intercut our voices as in the original poem, but I kind of liked the overlap that occurred when I just overlaid the two soundtracks, so I only adjusted things slightly.
c) Any other responses -- things you particularly liked, that you would suggest changing, etc.

ReplyDeleteThe quality difference of the two doesn't bother me on my little 13 inch computer but might show up differently on projection.

I like the overlap just fine, and really enjoy your waterbottle music!!!

I enjoy the development overall. The two images are very satisfying and interesting next to each other.
I feel Cyn's bee text seems out of the blue to me, because my mind is just digesting the fire rings, but I don't mind it.
I wondered during the second half it Cyn's on the left screen might work instead of on the right. Not worth a huge amount of editing, but if it's not hard to do, some possible spots to switch it are at the time codes: 1:07, 1:12, 2:15 or 2:53
