Synopsis:

An athlete spends countless hours practicing and preparing alone before the crowd ever sees them compete. Early mornings, repeated drills, and moments of frustration and struggle highlight the dedication required to improve each day. The story emphasizes the unseen effort that builds confidence and skills later displayed on game day.

Software / Media Used:

The video was created and edited using Canva and exported as an MP4 video in 1080p (HD). Throughout the project, I used licensed assets from Canva, Freesound, and AI narration generated on ElevenLabs.

“An Important Message” is about a senior in high school whose final project is to create a video message to his future self. While he starts thinking he has all the answers, he ends up with a new perspective.

The background music, record scratch effect, doorknob picture, and backpack picture are Creative Commons assets. The narration, done by my child, and remaining pictures and video are my creations. BandLab was used to record the narration and the door and backpack sound effects. iMovie was used for video editing.

Synopsis: A young woman wakes up disoriented as she recalls the hazy events from the previous nights. Surely werewolves can’t be real, but she will have to come to accept her new reality.

I voiced the narration, and two of the images used, the blood splatter and bloody mouth were originally created by me.

Everything else included is a mix of public domain assets. The citations are separated first by image and audio assets, and then the image assets are further categorized by the main element used from each element. Although, it is worth noting that while I edited the images, I did sometimes take smaller elements (such as the moon from a wolf picture) to use in a separate section.

For this project I used DaVinci Resolve for the video photo editing and some of the audio edits, I initially used Audacity to edit and record the narration, and I used Canva Pro to do some of the photo editing, such as removing backgrounds or the more complicated parts of layering images, such as the wolf heads at the end.

Voiceover Narration (Moon Blessed) by Nicole Davis Licensed as Public Domain

This story takes the form of a short, reflective interview with a library book, as it recounts its life through the many readers who have borrowed it and the different reasons they turned its pages. Through a slightly humorous tone, it highlights how books connect people, reminding the audience that every book holds not just a story, but the shared experiences of its readers. I recorded the audio for the Book myself, and two video scenes: the book being thrown into the car and the book being shelved.

For this project, I used several different programs. I recorded and edited the audio in Audacity, used CapCut for video editing, and used Midjourney to animate a couple of photo elements. Finally, I assembled the finished video in Canva.
