✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ** VIDEO EDITING** ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ─────────────────────

Video editing is like painting with moving pictures. It’s where stories are made, emotions are felt, and raw clips turn into something special.

Editing is not just about tools—It’s about feeling.

Why Try Video Editing?

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

✧ Editing gives meaning to clips:

It makes simple videos tell a story.

It shows feelings—happy, sad, exciting, or calm.

Every cut, every transition can change the mood.

Think of your editing timeline as a canvas. Each clip is a color you use to create your story.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ── ⭑ ☆ ⭑ ──

Tools You Can Use:

Choose the program that fits you best:

Adobe Premiere Pro — Strong and professional.

DaVinci Resolve — Best for color and free to start with.

Final Cut Pro — Smooth and easy for Mac.

CapCut / iMovie / Filmora — Simple and beginner-friendly.

Extra tips:

Play with colors to set the mood.

Use sound—music and effects bring life.

Add texts or motion graphics to highlight key parts.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

Reminders for Editors ☆

Start now, even if you feel unsure, because practice makes progress. Don’t compare your edits with others, since your style is your own and will grow over time. Be patient with yourself and enjoy the process, because rules are only guides and true creativity comes from freedom. Most of all, have fun; every edit you make is already a step forward.

Painting, the art of applying colors and spreading pigments on the canvas. Creating dream-like images from our imagination, filling a blank space with the magic of colors.

Painting isn’t just art—It’s Therapy

≪ °❈° ≫≪ °❈° ≫≪ °❈° ≫≪ °❈° ≫≪ °❈° ≫≪ °❈° ≫≪ °❈° ≫≪ °❈° ≫≪ °❈° ≫

Why Try Painting?

Painting is a good way of expressing unspoken feelings; good and bad, happiness or grief, excitement or anger. Letting the colors flow from your brush and creating images on the canvas with the pigments is a good way to relax and vent as you feel the sense of freedom while you hold the brush to create an abstract or a realistic artwork.

Painting Mediums You Can Easily Use

There are many different mediums anyone can use to paint...

There's Oil Paint— The oldest medium. Known for being the medium of popular artworks across history. It is slow drying, giving you perfect time to blend colors and add more details.

Second, Acrylic Paint. It one of the newer mediums, known for drying quickly and usually being cheap to buy. A technique usually used when using Acrylic is adding a bit of water.

Next is Water Color Paint. Known for being transparent, well because of the pigment usually mixed in water, it is broadly used by old landscape artists back in the day. Nowadays, it is still broadly used and very accessible, it is very trendy and cute too!.

Lastly, Gouache Painting. This is known for being beginner friendly as it is very easy to clean up with water. Take note that you should let it dry first before adding a new layer of paint, as it easily affects the underlayers if you add a new one.

Honorable Mentions!

◙ Pastels

◙ Ink Painting

◙ Digital Painting

◙ Tempera

Remember, don't be afraid to try different mediums, and never forget to have fun!

GABBY'S TIPS ON PAINTING

I believe 5 simple things when I paint, and I'd love to share it with you!...

TRY! : Try any medium, brush, and technique you want, don't be afraid to try out different things when painting. You won't find out your comfort and forte if you don't dive in and swim deeper in the broad world of painting

DON'T COMPARE : You think you won't be as good? or your painting looks nothing as good as Michelangelo's works? Well, I have news for you...Don't compare your work! Painting is about finding your true self and feeling comfort and freedom in your own style! NEVER compare your work and be content of what you can do!. Every artist has their own style and yours is as unique as any other artist.

BE PATIENT : Time will help you polish and practice your skills, be patient and trust your own process. Don't rush! who cares if some are ahead of you? it just means you're still walking your journey and one day you'll arrive at your destination too!.

BE FREE : Don't let anyone dictate you what you should do in your own artwork. It is not wrong to hear out advice and suggestions or even criticism, it is best to accept them with a smile. But remember to always let your brush run free! let your heart and soul express what you want to paint. Let yourself express freely and create the image you desire to paint.

HAVE FUN : This is the most IMPORTANT one. DON'T EVER FORGET THIS. Painting is about expressing and relaxing, and of course, having fun!. I once heard that a painting looks best if the painter is having fun, carelessly smiling, contented with themself as they swoosh their brush on the canvas. Don't forget to enjoy your time painting as a smile brightens a painting more than the paint.

⋆ ˚ ✿ ˖ ° Embroidery ⋆ ˚ ✿ ˖ °

Embroidery is the art of decorating fabric with needle and thread to create designs, patterns, or pictures. Instead of using paint or pens, stitches are used to “draw” on cloth, sometimes with added beads or ribbons for extra detail. It can be done by hand, which is the traditional method, or with a sewing machine for faster and modern styles. Embroidery is more than just decoration, embroidery has been practiced for centuries around the world to express creativity, tell stories, and show cultural identity.

Why Learn Embroidery?

Embroidery is more than just sewing pretty designs:

Creativity – You can make unique designs and express yourself.

Relaxation – The slow, steady stitching is calming and reduces stress.

Practical use – Customize clothes, bags, or home items.

Skill-building – Improves patience and focus.

Types of Embroidery

There are many styles, each with its own character:

Cross-stitch – Made of tiny “X” stitches forming a picture.

Crewel – Done with wool thread, creating thick, textured designs.

Blackwork – Uses black thread to make geometric or floral patterns.

Tips for Starting Out in Embroidery

Choose the right fabric – Light cotton is good for beginners.

Pick the correct needle – Large eyes for thick thread, small eyes for thin.

Use a hoop – Keep fabric tight so stitches stay neat.

Mind your tension – Don’t pull too hard because the fabric will wrinkle or too loose because the stitches will be sag.

Even stitches – Keep sizes consistent for neat designs.

Start and end cleanly – Secure your thread so it doesn’t unravel.

Practice stitches – Running, backstitch, satin stitch, French knots are the basics

Don’t rush – Focus on neatness, not speed.

Enjoy mistakes – Small flaws make hand embroidery unique.

- ⊹ ₊ ⟡ ⋆ Animation ⊹ ₊ ⟡ ⋆ -

Animation is the art of making an inanimate object appear to move, in simpler terms, the illusion of movement created by a series of sequential images displayed at a rapid rate.  This concept is loosely based around an optical illusion called ‘persistence of vision.’ This refers to how the human eye can only retain images for approximately 1/10 of a second, so when multiple images appear in a quick succession, our brain would merge it together into a singular moving image.

⋆ ∙ ∘ ✧ ∘ ⋅ ⋆ ∙ ∘ ✧ ∘ ⋅ ⋆ ∙ ∘ ✧ ∘ ⋅ ⋆ ∙ ∘ ✧ ∘ ⋅ ⋆ 

Why Even Learn Animation?

While technically, animation is simply the art of making things move, this medium offers a lot of advantages, one of which is to verify if your fundamentals and skillset is flexible enough to venture off your usual work. It also lets you experiment to see what would simply make them feel more authentic then be able to adjust designs in your works to further improve your art. And of course, it lets you see your own works come to life in such a way that you could think of new ways to describe them as well as add the tiny little details that just makes them feel real.

Types of Animation

There are a lot of animation types than you think there is so let's do a quick run-through of most in the industry.

Traditional Animation

Where it all started and hence the oldest types of animation in film, sometimes called ‘cel animation.’ This style is most often in 2D animation which is seen on early cartoons and classics like Alladin.

2D Animation (Vector)

While this style technically falls under traditional media, there is something called ‘vector-based animation,’ where the motions are controlled by vectors rather than pixels. Think about it like this, JPG, GIF and BMP formats are pixel images, these images cannot be enlarged or shrunk without the image quality being affected however in vector graphics, you don’t need to worry about it since enlarging or shrinking a vector graphic would not affect image quality.

3D Animation

A more popular and common type of animation style of today. In this, an animator would use a program or software to make a computerized digital object that looks 3D despite being on a 2D surface.

Stop Motion Animation

A more advanced flipbook style animation which involves photographing and then physically and meticulously manipulating objects within your frame to give an illusion of movement.

Clay Animation (Claymation)

A form of stop motion animation using clay figures.

Cutout Animation

Another old form of animation which is essentially 2D stop animation. Animators moves cutout shapes from frame to frame to create movement. This technique is actually cheaper and easier than other animation styles.

Rotoscope Animation

A technique wherein animators meticulously draw over film footage frame by frame seamlessly merging live action realism with the artistic expressiveness of hand-drawn animation.

Motion Graphics 

The fusion of animation and graphic design. Combining and balancing thoughtfully crafted text, simple graphics and captivating visuals to tell a story or narrative.

Mixed Animation

The usage of various styles and techniques to create a unique visual experience. More than often combining digital and traditional methods to create motion and narrative. This technique shows how much animation can be pushed to continuously evolve.

Softwares used in Animation

Well with everything in mind, you may wonder what software/applications do animators use to create their projects? Hence, we know go into some software/applications that people in the industry uses.

Software only on PC

Adobe Animate

Previously known as Macromedia Flash or Adobe Flash Professional. This software allows users to create high quality vector graphics that are easily flexible to use for animation, banners, games and other interactive content.

After Effects

KC's Tips in Starting Out Animation

Finally, we reach the end of this thread, but I didn't want to end it just like that so let's now delve into some tips to think about when starting out animation.

Start by learning the basics first. 

Take your time first to understand the basics of drawing first before delving into the basics of animation immediately. This will help you build up your visual imagination and not surprise yourself on the sudden difficulty and patience you would need for animation. But if you think you can do it, then feel free to explore!

Don’t be too much of a perfectionist.

We’ve all been there, you don’t need to be amazing at drawing to create a good animation. You can literally just make a stickman or just draw shapes and use it to learn the basic principles of animation. This will still give you a really fantastic result anyway as long as you have a gist and understanding of what you’re doing.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in using a reference or tracing.

All artists use this, the conception of how this is bad is honestly ridiculous. Those who can draw easily without one just have a large visual imagination and stock of those references inside their heads. Also professional artists use literal figures or models to make their jobs easier especially since they have a deadline. You really don’t need to be ashamed of tracing or using a reference, just don’t go around posting it online when it’s literally a one-to-one copy of something and you still didn't learn anything from what you copied. So make sure to take your time actually learning something from those references.

Start on whichever technique you’d be more familiar with or comfortable with.

You don’t need to have professional softwares immediately like Clip Studio Paint (CSP) and ToonBoom. You can literally just start learning on free softwares like IbisPaint, Krita or even literally just do traditional animation. What’s more important is you actually started doing something to learn.

Keep Going.

Progress takes time and that depends on each person so don’t go about being jealous or being irritated you haven’t made much progress. Don’t worry, it will pay off after a lot of trial and errors and repeated actions. By continuing, you will start building muscle memory and just start noticing things you haven’t realized before, so just enjoy what you’re doing and never give up. Practice makes perfect.

So, in conclusion, the journey would be a bit long however it is worth it and fun to learn in the end so if you have time, go ahead and try learning this as a hobby : D

Sesa's Tips on Junk Journaling

1. Collect any scraps during your time outside. Especially during your travels!

This may consist of receipts from purchases, paper bag and paper cup designs, labels from beverage products, plastic wrappers, and anything you can paste on a page as a memorabilia.

2. With a notebook, scissors, and some glue or tape, get ready to sit down and think of how to lay them out on page!

Feel free to use an old notebook for this as well as any scrap materials you may already have at home.

3. IMPORTANT: Don't overthink it! There's no such things as an 'ugly' junk journal spread. :>

Each page is a reflection of your creativity and mood in the moment. What matters most is the joy you feel while making it.

4. Play around with different layouts. Search up the internet for more inspo whenever needed and freely try out various ideas from online!

There are no rules to doing this hobby. Glue things randomly, add pockets, envelopes, or layer papers. The fun is in the experimenting!
