@03:54For my first short film I wanted to convey simple tale of freedom. I came up with a story of a girl who literally becomes what she envies and dreams about. In the end, the girl trades up her humanity for a simple life flying infinitely as a crow in a painting. I wanted to convey more art forms in an already great art medium, video. I love animation, drawing, and painting, but don't see them together a lot. I hoped to achieve a good balance and mixture of these mediums in my short film, Crow Unbound.
I started making my film July 14, 2010. I finished the video on July 30, 2010. It was made on my personal iMac. I used Adobe After Effects to help start my rotoscope process. Afterwards, I used Adobe Photoshop CS4 to do all of the main animation with a Wacom pen and tablet. I pulled all of the clips together and did all of the major editing in Final Cut. For the music I turned to the royalty-free Apple Loops provided by Garage Band and did any mixing within Final Cut.

You can view the film at much better quality on my YouTube channel here:

I make art vlogs via YouTube that show my art being made in a time lapse, I talk about the meaning of the piece, sometimes everyday life, and I hold mini contests with art prizes as well.

Wow, I'm so amazed by this video, I bet it took a LOT of work, but you aced it! It's really stunning. I thought that it's already good at the beginning, but the end - speechless. And the transitions to other states like from human to crow and from not reality to that painting, which, btw, is really good, were mind blowing! Good work!!!!

=] Thanks so much! It did take a lot of work at the time. I hope to make more similar to it. I'm so used to trying to tell a story with just a painting or drawing that I found it to be hard to make a story with video. I'm happy that you enjoyed it so much.
