My Video

http://jamo.djjaf.com/chickendance.html

uploaded on YouTube, embedded there Very Happy

Thought I would be creative with the presentation of my entry.

Let me know if that is not OK, although can't see why not.

Theme on the video was I wanted something amusing, but also fast and upbeat style music, and keep real real strong with the chicken feel. Didn't want to be subtle on this one, really in your face.

I picked the techno electronic style music, with plenty of chicken sound effects that i added. While I didn't create the music, I did mix it up a bit and add the sound effects so that it timed well (hoepfully) with the clips that I have put in there.

I wanted the video to reflect the fast and upbeat style of the music so. Tried to use real short clips mostly, with a couple of longer 10 second ones. I also mixed up the dancing with the classic cherpy cherpy cheap cheap moves in there a couple of times, but also some modern moves mixed up.

One of my favourite parts is the scene with 4 chickens. I like how the music changes and they all just do their own thing, I think this is very symbolic of what I was trying to produce with the video, I wanted a lot of things going off together, but also for it all to go together at the same time. A little like headless chickens, i could say Razz

I tried to add lots of fun scenes in too, and not just focus on the outfits. So there is everything from fields to castles to trees to rivers. One thing did that I did do, entirely by accident, was use quite a fewof the imvu Inc. Rooms. I think they all have a very chickeny feel to them.

The outfits were simply a selection of the various chickens that are avaliable on imvu. From the longer necked funny looking one to the more realistic, and then that amazing furniture one at the end, with the mesh by DA5, just had to sneak that one in.

For the editing I tried to make things very choppy so I used few transitions and rather just cut from one scene to another. The other thing I did was the credits and titles in my hallmark font, and hopefully with subtle but effective animation.

Finally I decided to work on the presentation, knowing that you could choose the size of the YouTube player to embed I tried to make some fun and bold grapics just to go around it and add to the theme of the video.

I hope that you enjoy my entry, all feedback is welcome, and I also look forward to seeing your work too!

Good luck everyone Very Happy
