Grit Happens

Today on my youtube channel I uploaded a video called "Grit Happens." It's a parody of the True Grit trailer for the new movie. Because I am a novice and an evolving filmmaker I want to talk about the video and my experience with making it. Making videos is a lot of fun but also a lot of work. Especially when you play all of the characters, film the whole thing by yourself and edit it, which is what I did with Grit Happens. Not all of my videos will be like this but I got this idea and wanted to try it out. Thanks to the magic of chroma key or green screen I was able to make it better. Unfortunately because of a malfunction with my editing program the chroma key didn't work throughout the video as well as I had hoped. Although, I have done more successful projects with the chroma key before. The editing experience can be a real hassle when you have tons of clips to put together and you're using green screen because those things tend to put a big strain on the computer. Having said that, it was still a fun experience and I hope that anyone who sees the video will enjoy it. I'll say upfront that it's not world class material but you might just like it, and I kept it fairly short in case you don't. So if you're reading this go ahead and check it out on youtube, and have a wonderful day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCgs8U5WYrc
