Fusion Video--Personal Puppy Project

By Kristina

I have been taking Xanthe Berkeley's Journey e-course for the past two months and have been loving it.  It has been so incredibly inspiring and the community of photographers is fantastic.

The course has motivated me to learn the video feature on my camera and more importantly has inspired me to capture and appreciate life's every day moments. From afternoons spent at the beach to rainy days spent hanging out at the bowling alley to a series of random  happenings strung together...all of these moments are worth holding onto and will be little snippets of time that I will look back on and treasure.

Taking this class has also inspired me to pursue adding video fusion into my photography packages.  I'm working on building my portfolio to include these little mini-movies of magical moments.  Below is one of my personal projects.  If you saw my post yesterday, you know that we have a new addition to our family....we got a new puppy...Molly.

Finally our family is balanced...we are now a family of four females and four males (although two of us are the four-legged kind).  So meet Molly and let us know if you are incorporating video into your work.  And if you would, we'd love for you to share links to some of your work in the comments below.

Combining Video and Stills--A Day at the Treasure Island Flea Market

by: Kristina

I'm currently taking Xanthe Berkeley's, Creating Time Capsules--A Journey e-course. It is a terrific course that helps guide and inspire you to create movies by combining video and stills.

I participated in her Creating Time Capsule's course last spring (which I loved) and this course is building on what I learned and providing me with the little nudge to continue to tell stories and collect memories.

The course provides you with a mixture of tutorials, inspiration, tips and tricks and really motivates you to give yourself space to create.

Below is my first "time capsule" from this course.  It is a day spent at the Treasure Island Flea Market with friends.  Which if you live in the Bay Area, you must go and check this flea market out!  Oh my goodness is it terrific.  Great vendors, amazing food, and the most gorgeous views of San Francisco.  It is held the last weekend of every month.  So great!

While my video shooting is still a bit shaky (I need to work on that), it provides you with a fun little glimpse into my day spent hunting for treasures with dear friends.
