It's a video!

Since Bree suggested I use a different format for my posts here is something a bit different. Asher made a video of our Europe trip (Paris to Rome). It is pretty cool. Watch and enjoy. 


We look forward to reading all the comments!

    Hi Mrs spragg. I loved how the video was edited because it had a good transition with the perfect speed and sound. Did you enjoy posting this? Maybe I should use this for my videos I make at home. If you do have a favourite part of the trip please tell me. can't wait to see you hanah back next term.

    Kind regards Ian.

      Hey Mikael!

      The plane fade away is a fun transition to make and really easy! If you would like to learn how to make it I would be happy to show you.

      Thanks for the comment!

    It seems like you are having an awesome time across the world from us. When Ian was commenting on this he told Bree & I you mentioned Bree. Bree was pleased. (sorry for the lack of Bree. *sarcastic*). I think that it was some great filming and editing on Ashers part but even more awesome stars in the show. What has been everyone's favourite part of the trip so far? I hope you continue to have an awesome time.

    Hi Mrs Spragg! It Mia here, WOW! that video is awesome great work Asher! It really tells the audience what is happening and were you have been really clearly. I think that you should make another one, only if Asher is willing too because it does take a while. I am looking forward to what is next!

    Rimu is waiting for your return!

      I used Adobe Premiere Pro, which unfortunately is not free. Adobe has subscription plans for it, but at Riccarton we get a MASSIVE discount of like 82% so I bought it for an amazing price. It took me about 15 -20 hours to make, spread over about a week. Not short! I had heaps of footage to sort and then to edit, stabilize, transition, find music and then upload it!

      Hope that gave you some insight, If you would like to learn any of this stuff I'd be happy to teach you or show you where to look.

      Cheers!

    Hey there Mrs Spragg, it's me Parwin!
    It looks like you are having a very fun time on vacation and the video was amazing because the transitions are really cool because of how it looks like and the clips and videos that you added were really cool because of the scenery. You should tell Asher he needs to make a channel because the video that he made is amazing! How long did it take him to edit the video and put everything together?


    Looking forward to your next posts,
    Parwin

      It took me about 15 -20 hours to make, spread over about a week. Not short! There was a lot to do, and the transitions were a completely new style to me as I had never done them before. Once I got the hang of it, I was sorted.

Before we left the beautiful city of Florence, we had one more place to visit. The Cathedral of the Basilica. So after packing up our gear, finding a place to leave our bags for the day, we headed through the already hot streets to stand in line. And the line was long, and it wasn't even opening time.  Once the doors opened the line moved quickly and in no time we were in the Cathedral. We weren't too sure what to expect, but clearly, they had spent most of the money and energy on designing the outside of the building. It was still very large and had some lovely features. The dome was particularly stunning. There was a whole mass happening in one corner, and you couldn't even hear it. Amazing how these old churches were designed to accommodate multiple things happening.   We discovered that the crypt was included in our pass, so we thought we would head down to discover it. Some of us were a bit nervous at first, however, we soon discovered it w

Packing up and trying to work out what to do with our gear is never that fun, however, our kind Air BnB host had allowed us to leave our bags in the apartment till we left at 4pm. This meant we could still tick off a couple of destinations without carrying 10kg or so on our backs.  Today's destinations were the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. The bus ride was easy and the walk through the little Italian streets made it quite delightful. You can always tell you are getting close though by the increase in tourists. And then we were there.  The large fountain towering over us with ... no water.  What?  Isn't it a fountain.  Turns out the thing is being cleaned, so instead we got to see men giving it a bit of a water blast. Fun.  We did some googling and found out that it is the end of an aqueduct, the only one left functioning after the Barbarians destroyed the rest. (Barbarians!) It used to be in a slightly different place in the plaza but someo

Our only full day in Florence. We had a lot to fit in. The first thing was to try our luck at getting into the gallery where 'The David' is. The line was already massive so we paid a little extra and got into a guided tour.  We were glad. No big lines, no fussing over tickets, no audio guides. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the art and the artists. We also could go around the gallery once we were finished our tour. This piece was amazing. It was by Jean de Boulogne. It was actually the plaster cast, not the real thing. When artists created their works they created a plaster cast first then the actual statue. Usually, they get destroyed but Jean didn't because he liked it so much, he kept it for himself.  This is one of the prisoners. They were created by Michaelangelo (photographed below) and were supposed to be unfinished. They were stunning and we loved hearing about their background. m But the real hi
