I'm loving that, and all of your other ones. Sorry I don't have a request right now, but I'm loving your font and pictures you used for "Turn on me." That vid is going to be awesome when it's posted up.

Kate: Thanks! I love font work, obviously. To me, a well-chosen font can make the icon much better. Case in point, 'Flesh and Blood,' in which the font is harsh and evil-looking, or 'Fanatic Heart,' which is intended to look like Revolutionary War script or something.

Each of my videos from 'Lord Byron's Luggage' on (as well as some earlier ones, like 'Avalon,' has a selected font for its credits and for its icon - I try to be choosy with that, as it definitely affects the look of the video. The font for 'Turn on Me' is 'Pupcat,' chosen because it is simple, but a little bit quirky - I needed something not too formal and definitely sans-serif, but not so playful that it was distracting, like "Melanie" or something.

Kat: Hee. Glad you like it. If I can't get Vegas to work, I will just upload what I have so far, entirely in WMM. That is, if Zshare stops freaking at me.

WOW! Those are amazing!

Was wondering if you could make me one? Doesnt have to be soon cause i havent completly finished the vid yet. lol. It's a Shannon/Sawyer/Kate called Misery Business If you cant dw

[thefilmchick]

Sure. Give me some background, though:

Sad video? (Sounds like it)

Any specific fonts/colors?

Alternately, who sings the song? I'll check it out on Napster and see if I can get any ideas about graphics from that.

[PrincessSparkle]

More angsty than sad

Dont mind bout Fonts/Colours

Song is Misery Business by Paramore (I was inventive with the title )

OK. Must go pick up iced tea and such (priorities = iced tea > law school > work > everything else, haha), but when I get back in a couple, I'll give the song a whirl. Check back in an hour or two, or tomorrow if you're on UK time (aka don't feel you have to wait up).

[PrincessSparkle]

lol dont worry bout it doing it soon in a rush cause the vid wont be finished for a couple of days anyways lol. Thanks

[thefilmchick]

First attempt. Went for a grunge feel, since the song sounds like Shirley Manson or something:



Font is Shatterboxx, if you want to grab it for credits.

[PrincessSparkle]

WOW! Thats gorgeous! Thanks

[thefilmchick]

Thanks! Glad you like it. If you need fixes, lemme know.

Hey, any chance of a pic for my new vid?

I would try one again myself, but im back to school soon, so wont have much time.

The vid is called Collide its by Howie Day.

Maybe like, a picture of Jack on the left, and one of Kate on the right, and then in the middle a pic of them kissing/hugging?

Thanks

[thefilmchick]

Sure thing. I am in entertainment law right now, then family law, then a university planning council meeting, but I will get to it when I get back from that - so this evening, Chicago time.

As before, any other specifics ie colors, fonts, mood, etc.? Will listen to the song on Napster as well.

[thefilmchick]

Rough draft:



Font is Minya Nouvelle.

(ETA: Just realized that Jack and Kate are on opposite sides than you asked for; I can flip it if need be with no problem.)

[AlcoholicPixie]

Jeez, these are all amazing! Looks like you might have to take over from me
