New Ad for Gift Shop
We are so excited about our very first ad which was created totally “in house” by the Unique Views of Nature team.
The hardest part was selecting what images to showcase; we have so many to choose from now.
The first step was using Animation in Photoshop CS4 to create the first part where the black and white photos turn into color. Then we used Motion (bundled with Final Cut Pro, the program we use to edit video) to have our name scroll behind the color line. We had a bit of a challenge to get the timing right between the two, but we did it. Final Cut was used to add the cool transitions.
The funnest part was learning how to create our very own music using Garageband. We spent a couple of late nights laughing until our sides hurt trying to figure it all out. Things really got crazy when we hauled out the microphone and added the helium effect to our voices. Thankfully, that was deleted when the sun started to rise and we regained our senses.
We are so appreciative of YouTube and all of the awesome tutorials available. They really helped us out.
We are now working on our next creative endeavor. It includes some really cute little critters doing cute critter stuff. And of course, a musical masterpiece from Garageband.
