My first YouTube video-- how I made 'The Watchers!'

[wallace_trust]

I recently got an inexpensive computer microphone to do audio crowdwork jobs with, and I've used it to cobble together a short documentary about how I typically make my images!  I marked it unlisted so it won't show up on YouTube searches, but I've embedded it below.  I hope it's not too boring!  :D 

While searching for free background music for my video, I encountered an awesome site called Bensound.com.  This person has posted loads of first-rate original music under a Creative Commons - Attribution type of license.  Check this out if you need some excellent free music!  :)

You're welcome! :) I hope it entertains!

You did a great job on that!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it! :) My cousin Anton is so good at making videos that I felt somewhat embarrassed trying to follow in his footsteps :)

I also had a bit of an issue with the free OpenShot video editor, which kept crashing, but fortunately things finally worked out! :D

Fascinating! Thanks so much for sharing your process with the tools you use. I have good experience and knowledge with both Photoshop and Illustrator (and even Flash) which I use as a Graphics/Web Designer, but I've never worked on any 3D modeling programs, so it's great to see this so nicely explained. A very nice video!

You're welcome! I'm so glad you liked it! :)

I had older versions of both Photoshop and Illustrator and enjoyed using them, but I never got into Flash animations. I'm just learning to animate now.

If you want to experiment with 3D, https://www.daz3d.com has a very nice free package which comes with some models to play with. I started out on it and still use it often. :)
