Hi Guys!
I was on YouTube the other day looking at random videos and I came across this fan made trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows [Part1].
This video was made by Kirwani90. I thought the video was interesting because the trailer resembled the sound-editing assignment I had been working on in my CyberArts tech class; which I've mentioned previously in my last post :). I loved how the scenes were edited; some scenes were slowed, some color corrected others drained of colour. It found it interesting and the music used was very fitting. I liked how the editor took an original action, thrilling trailer and made it sad yet intense and dramatic.
I respect the work of this maker because I know how hard it is to edit scenes into the specific order you want it too; timing, transition and all. I also know how much time it takes to find the more fitting music to use and make sure it is perfectly timed and transitioned. So watching this trailer; I was amazed.
I enjoyed this fan made trailer A LOT and I hope you like it as well!
Also! I will be posting up my own edited trailer soon :)

How do you use Garageband?
Hey guys!
I am currently working on my first CyberArts year 3 tech assignment on sound editing. For this assignment we are required to use programs such as imovie and Garageband to edit and change the sound in a movie trailer of our choice.
Personally, I have worked with imovie before and know my way around the program; I do however have a problem with Garageband because I have not used it before. So, because of this I was recently browsing YouTube for tutorials on how to better understand Garageband and I came across this really helpful video.
This video, in my opinion, was very helpful because it showed the basic knowledge you need in order to work Garageband. This video was easy to understand; there wasn't anything too technical and it wasn't too long. Take a look!
Hope this video helped you! :)
If not, I have a tip for you; play around with the program. It may be simple but it works! I've noticed that if you learn by experience. So, just open up the program, fiddle around with the options and buttons and see what happens. This will help you get a feel of where everything is and what it does. Trust me, it works!
Oh! If you're wondering about this assignment of mine, I promise that I will explain it in much more detail soon and will post my final edit after I am done! :D
Bye!

About me!
Hi! How is everyone?
I'm back again for my 3rd year of CyberArts! Today, I'm going to tell you a bit about myself. I know I've already introduced myself before but I just wanted to refresh your minds. Who knows, maybe you'll learn something new about me that I haven't told you before. :)
Let's start from the beginning! I applied for CyberArts in my grade 8 year. I decided I wanted to join CyberArts because I really loved graphic design. A couple of years before, I had discovered some fan art of certain TV shows, movies and celebrities online; I thought It looked really cool. I started experimenting with programs like Adobe Photoshop and began to teach myself how to edit photos and blend images bit by bit. When I found out my high school was offering a program where I could enhance my graphic skills, I had just had to apply.
Two years have passed and this is my 3rd year here in this CyberArts program. I can honestly say that I have no regrets. Everything we do, whether it be in the visual art portion or the tech portion, we learn from it. CyberArts can be challenging at times but we have freedom to express ourselves. We have learned so much in these last two years and I am very excited for the coming year!
Now that you've learned about my CyberArts background, let me tell you a bit about my personal life. :)
My favourite school subjects are CyberArts, Biology, Physics and English. I like Biology and Physics because I understand them and they are interesting subjects. I enjoy English because I love to write and read. I go through tons of novels per month; I love fiction!
I love to dance! I am currently a part of a dance group called RAANG. We are a group of about 14 girls who perform indian (Bollywood and folk) dances for festivals, competitions and charity outside of school.
One thing that you probably have figure out from my previous blog posts is that I love Bollywood! If you ask me anything about Bollywood movies, musics or actors I will probably know it! :P
I also love sports; badminton, volleyball, soccer etc. I may not be the best but I like playing anyways; just for the fun of it. :P
Well, I hope you liked reading about me! I would love to learn about you too! :D

Stunning Sari's and Sensational Suits
This week, my mother and I were looking through catalogues of different saris and suits. While going through these catalogues I couldn't believe how beautiful some of the saris were. There weren't just one style or material; there were so many. Within these long pieces of fabric, there were sequins and beads sewed as well as embroidery.
One thing I like about these sari's is that they are like pieces of artwork. All of them have different kinds of embroidery, they are all unique in their own way. I love all the different styles of sari's and suits they have.
I looked at many, many different sari's but I couldn't choose a favourite because there were a lot that popped out at me. But If I had to choose one or two it would be the silver and pink/redish one above and the pink/redish and blue one to the side. I really liked the way they were embroidered and I also love the style of them. The colours are bold too so they pop out nicely.
My favourite suit out of all of them would probably have to be the green and red below. I like it mostly because of the pants that go with it. I love how they are puffy/volumed. It's a really nice style apposed to the skinny legged suit bottoms they came out with last year. It's refreshing to see a whole new style coming out.If you are interested in looking at different types of sari and dress styles; check out the Silk Museum Website.

Stills and Motion
Hi Guys!
Today, I was sitting with my 7 year old cousin watching the Family Channel. After watching an episode of 'Sonny with a Chance' I was about to get off of my coach and do something productive when I suddenly heard a blast of music and then I saw them, Demi Lavato and Selena Gomez singing the song 'One and the same' from their Disney Original 'The Princess Protection Program'. My cousin seemed to love this song, so I sat down again and watched it with her; to my surprise I realized that the music video (and the song) was pretty good so I thought I'd share it with you!
In my opinion, this music video has a lot of cool video effects. I love how they cropped out clips and showed them in the frames that Demi and Selena were holding. The video wasn't made of one style. They used different things; stop animation, effects and plain video.
My favourite part of the video is when Demi and Selena are holding frames (with an empty middle) in their hands and making faces. They poke their head into the frame second and it goes through, when they bring it back their faces turn into actual pictures. I thought that effect looked really cool.
Check out the video! I hope you like it!

Mazes of the Mind
Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to share my El Anatsui piece with you. I had been working for it for about two months now and I am finally finished! This piece is packed already and ready to be sent to the ROM but I took a picture before so I could show you all! :)
The title of my El Anatsui piece is called “Mazes of the mind”. The theme behind it has to do with the walls of hatred; how when you are so mad at something or angry at the world around you that you build so many walls around yourself that it create a maze. When the walls become a maze you have to find your way around them, find your conscience and then find your way out to the real world.
My piece is mostly transparent so you can see through to the other side. One side of my piece consists of a happy, normal world with a white maze around it; this represents that you can conquer the maze and found you way out, people will accept you again. The other side is the opposite; it shows a dark blood red and black world with a black maze. This represents the fact that you may not want to break out of the maze of hatred and if you do, the world and the people in it may not want to accept you anymore because of the things you have said or done.
Since my piece is transparent, I placed a person and their conscience on two different sides of the piece. It seems as they are on the same side but really, there is a barrier between them.
My concept includes many questions within questions. It makes you think because there are two scenarios to it and it depends on who looks at it and what their point of view is. You do not know the conclusion until you think about the actions. My piece has a simple design but it has a maze of thoughts around it.

FREEDOM
Hello Everyone!
For a project at school we were asked to create a t-shirt design that reflected and represented an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
For this design I chose article #18; everyone has the right of freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public of private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
My idea behind my design is that everyone should accept that there is more than one kind of religion and belief and everyone should have the right to carry them out without being judged or punished. My design has the word "FREEDOM" In large letters in bold and underneath that word I have 3 words that summarize the whole article; thought, conscience and religion. Beside it, I have a man and a women praying but it is not defined which religion they follow because there are symbols of a lot of different religions. I am trying to convey that all religions are different but it shouldn't matter which one you follow.
I hope you like it! :)
