Soooo…. it turns out that maybe I was just hangry when I was feeling like a cranky pants. Actually I just needed to shift gears. Cooking up some dinner and working on the video project were enough to distract me.
I put together a rough draft of the video. I’ve about reached the limitations of what I can do without better software (to add transitions between clips and fade in and fade out and maybe blend audio better). I could get additional footage and probably re-shoot some of what I included. I was thinking of adding in a sunset at the end, a shot of Ernestine and Hazel, and some shots of the Peabody Hotel and Beale Street… but at this point I’m not sure I want to put more time in to it. It was a fun little distraction – though I should probably put that time in to things like writing or job hunting
If you want to watch 14 minutes of clips from my typical two hour walk through downtown Memphis with soundtrack (“Honeybee” by The Head and the Heart, “I’ve Been Dazed” by Michael Kiwanuka, “Agnes” by Glass Animals, and “Final Days” by Michael Kiwanuka) – click away. Otherwise, check back for hopefully less crankiness and maybe even less malaise…
