I want to make babies with Pinterest.
I thought I'd share a recent Braid Creative project with you all, if you're interested. It's a How To Pinterest video. Now, I know probably 100% of my blog readers are already beyond first base and onto making babies with Pinterest but some of our Braid customers and customers-to-be aren't early-adopters / Pinterest sluts like all of you (and me too). So we thought this video would help them get to know Pinterest a little better.
I wanted to tell you a little bit about the process of creating this How To:
1. I wrote a basic script. And from there edited it down as much as possible so we were only sharing essential information.
2. From there I brainstormed imagery that could accompany the script.
3. We took stills and shot video with the iPhone. We're all about lo-fi tools.
4. I gathered screen shots and designed our imagery.
5. Tara edited these assets together in iMovie. We're thinking about upgrading soon to Adobe Premier or Final Cut - thoughts?
6. We used music written by Jeremy and our friend Colin! It's actually a work-in-progress - but just right as-is for this project.
7. I then did a voice-over - we trimmed the script on the spot and adjusted the length of certain clips as needed. I learned a lot here.
Easy-peasy!
P.S. I'm pinning almost exclusively to my Braid Pinterest boards now. Follow me here.
I started off using it primarily for design ideas, but then i quickly moved on to my house, my clothes, food etc! And now.. I am such a Pin-atic! (Pinterest + Fanatic.. or Addict - i just made that up).
Unfortunately... us "Android" users can't use the Pinterest app:(
Following you now:)
Re: Adobe Premier or Final Cut; I'm a Final Cut editor; however, since you do a lot of graphic design work the Premier is much easier to share and integrate into other Adobe workflows - quite seamlessly friends have said.
A) That top photo of you is gorgeous. B) I agree about Premier. However, if you *did* go with FCP, you'd have the advantage of knowing the workflow if you had to hire an editor for a bigger project... and in that case I'd go with FC Express, rather than Final Cut 10, as FCP 10 is basically iMovie on steroids. C) I am way late to this Pinterest party but I must hop on board :)
I just love your photo and title for this post. Lovely and hilarious!
Thank you! My husband keeps asking me random Pinterest questions....well, really just saying 'I don't get it' over and over. I just sent him this! Better than me trying to explain it again!
Nope. I am one of *those* readers (even though I have an invite having out in my in-box, for a while now!) and I think you for this crafty-informative-hella cute video! Loved it. Setting up now. Because, you know, I probably need another addiction.
Agreed! LOVE and am obsessed with Pinterest.
Jennie Bee - Pinatic! I love it.
Ben - Oh, thank you for the advice.
Rory - A) YOU'RE gorgeous. B) We're familiar with iMovie - so if we could get something that's just a step above but still user-friendly that would be awesome. We still plan on using our video guy for the big projects & animation. C) Yes! I just sent you an invitation. :) P.S. I've been thinking about you - I hope you're doing well!
Rachel - Ha! Thanks!
Danielle - Haha. You are so welcome!
Nicole - Well, I'm glad I could help!
AdventureAversion - Woot woot! Pinatics unite.
can you believe i still have yet to get into pininterest?! holy slow learner.
by the way, i was like, "why is that lollipop she's holding SO tiny???"
again. with the slow.
Invite, please? Thank you!
Unknown - I'd be happy to! Give me your email address (you can leave it here in the comments or email it to me at jeremyandkathleen@gmail.com) and I'll send an invite your way.
Wow Kathleen I love this video tutorial! you're so creative!!! I will give this a try - it looks fun!!
thanks for sharing! xo Lidia
It's not specifically for video editing but I love Screenflow. It's easy to manage your changes, has more options than iMovie and can record screen tutorials really easily. The price point and the free trial are sweet, too. :)
I too am a folder idea hoarder... Great post!! It'll help me manage the junk on the old external and free up some space for much better things!! ps loving the videos!!!
If anyone is willing, I'm looking for an invite to pinterest! It looks very exciting and addicting!
I'm sopranoem@gmail.com
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the video! Its hard to keep up with the complexity of so many social media sites, but this made it very clear and easy to set up :) Just heard about Pinterest and am glad one of my favorite bloggers showed me the how-to!
WHOA! I had no idea what it even was. It just seemed like another one of those things that I really shouldn't be interested in (like twitter) and NOW I WANT TO DO IT. I love the how to. Good job!!! It even answered a question just as one popped up in my mind (get out of my future thoughts Kathleen!)
