Media Assets & Software
I shot The Wizard’s Unicorn using my iPhone 13pro, I proceeded to take the images into Canva where I combined and edited them. I used various graphics provided by Canva and one image provided by Pexels. After I was satisfied with the video, I took it into Filmoria where I added sound effects and music that I obtained from FreeSound.
“SONGBIRD” by Erin Crawford is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 DEED. This video was produced using Adobe Premiere Pro 2023, exported as H.264 (.mp4).
Synopsis: This story follows a songbird, born with a beautiful voice, and the price she must pay for people to listen. Desperate for people to hear her song, she allows herself to become trapped by those who say they love her, and each time she is caught, she’s left with scars of the encounter until she sets herself free.
With the exception of the image on the title slide, I filmed all video/image assets used in this project. I used my iPhone 15 Plus and two different Sensyne tripods (one of which had a ring light attached) to film each asset. I enabled a Bluetooth remote to pair with my phone, and could manually start recording while in the camera frame. For audio assets, I used Audacity for macOS to record my narration. I also had a friend compose the background track of the video, which is titled “Songbird.” Finally, a friend had recorded the final snippet of my audio one Sunday at church and it is a live recording. The video was produced using Adobe Premiere Pro 2023 for macOS and exported as H.264. Each clip was individually manipulated in the editing program and all audio clips were also edited with the same software.

I used Vegas Pro to edit the video with color changing effects, along with the many overlapping sound effects and music that were sourced from freesound.

Synopsis:
The story takes place during the last minutes of an interview for a corporate job. The interviewer asks if our main character has any questions, and she asks about the culture around the office. While the interviewer describes the “family culture” they’ve cultivated — including pizza parties, mandatory bonding activities, and never-ending happy hours — we get to see the main character’s inner monologue as she realizes this sounds like one of those jobs and probably isn’t the right fit.
The main character is a doctor, married to a nurse, and happy in his career as a healer when the stock market crashes in 1929, beginning the devastation of the Great Depression. People still need the doctor, so he never refuses a patient and takes whatever they have to offer – in this case a simple picture of a house – as payment for his services. Meanwhile, his wife’s sister’s family falls apart, so the doctor and his wife take in the sister’s two little girls, providing a home and stable family life for them and for the next generation. The picture remains in the family as a reminder of the solid foundation provided by his generous healing heart.
Production software:
I used several production tools and software to create this video. I needed to use HP printer software (for HP OfficeJet 3830) to scan and save digital images of family photos to my computer. Then I used Microsoft Photos (installed on my computer) for initial cropping and cleaning up the edges from the photos that were pasted into family albums, and adjusting the brightness, contrast, and color (B&W/sepia) tones. Next, I used Photopea to crop, resize, and add backgrounds to the Depression-era archival and family photos as needed so that I would have a standard 16:9 aspect ratio and 1280 x 720 px size to make an HD video with the images. I also used Photopea to create the title slide and credits slides. For the audio, I used Audacity to record my voice-over narration and to mix the various audio tracks for the video, incorporating two pieces of background music with the narration. I exported the final audio track as a standard quality (170 – 210 kbps) stereo mp3 file with a sample rate of 44100 Hz. Finally, I used OpenShot video production software to produce, edit, and save drafts for uploading to YouTube. All drafts from OpenShot, including the final video, were exported as high-quality mp4 (h.264) files with a video profile of HD 720p 30fps (1280 x 720).

Synopsis:
I live with a horror hound. My spouse has been watching horror since they were tiny, to hear them talk, and frankly, while I enjoyed cheesy “creature features” and Alfred Hitchcock movies and all things goth before we met, it wasn’t afterwards that it became quite so… all-encompassing, shall we say? Now, I grew up with idea of goth being The Crow and The Craft and movies of that ilk, and my music tastes have always run somewhere between Stevie Nicks and Magica… so the idea of creating an Appalachian Gothic Horror story, in the vein of the ones often featured on Tiktok was always going to appeal to me: If you hear something, no, you didn’t. If you see something, no, you didn’t. And if something says your name, run and hide because there are things in the forest that are older than the trees.
Media Assets:
I drove up to the North Georgia mountains over a weekend and filmed for several hours. Most of it is recorded on a Canon R7 mirrorless camera, but I also recorded more than a bit on my iPhone 13 Pro as well. Most of it was shot in the Dawsonville area around Amicalola Falls, while a tiny bit was also shot just alongside the road when I saw a shot I liked. Likewise, I provided all the voiceovers and background whispers. Background sound effects are listed below.

Content & Creation: The video was shot by me with the help of my friends. I tried to use the rule of thirds in most of the scenes while shooting the video. The voiceover of the “guy” as well as the “keys” was recorded by me. Apart from the voiceover part the music playing in the background as well as the laughter of the audience was sourced from Freesound. I used the Voice Changer app to modify my voice to provide the voiceover for my keys. The video was edited in Adobe Premier Pro.

“Marvin the Robot and the Perfect Meal” including all original images, video, and audio is copyrighted by Linnea Eberhart. All rights reserved.
Synopsis: Marvin the Robot sets out to find the perfect meal in Orlando and along the way he discovers food and cultures from around the world. He learns that what makes the perfect meal is the same thing that makes Orlando great – it has a little bit of everything.
Media Assets and Software: I shot original video and photos for this project which feature a toy robot named Marvin with different food and in different neighborhoods in Orlando. I also created collages where I layered cutouts of Marvin the Robot onto original photos. The audio is a story-like narration of Marvin’s adventures consisting of both original recordings and Creative Commons sound effects and background music. I used Audacity to record the narration and Canva to create the final video. I also used the “Voice Changer – Audio Effects” app by One Pixel Studio to apply a robot voiceover effect for Marvin’s voice.
