most imaginative cuts tool


Cut is a great tool to help you in video production, it is a tool that has the same modification of windows movie maker but just makes it easier and more understandable. Cuts is a tool that would give you tips on while you are editing a video and not only do you have download it from one computer like windows movie maker no, in cuts you could go online to find it any where which means any where you could go only is a chance to use cuts. Cuts have been the favorite tool used throughout anyone who has ever felt like editing. But I picked this tool because no only can you edit pictures into movie and you can take a movie online and insert it to cuts and then modify it. This is why I think it is important. To find this tool you could just enter free online tools on Google and you should find it.

To try out this tool or check out the site I got it from then click here

My topic for my research was Video Production, This is an important aspect of video making, especially when it comes to stop motion.Video Production can also help make your videos look proffesional and high quality. Videomaker.com, is a useful sight for video production, it has tutorials, and videos to help you make videos look like films, it also gives some tips about angles, and zoom. The following sight, is to help people create videos to look like a film from hollywood( maybe not, but you get the idea ) The sight also has occaissonal video contests, site surveying, and help on certain filming techniques, they even have a video showing how to film a wedding!!! I learned from this sight about the "zolly" technique/angle. That creates a "disorientating view for the viewer", it makes it look like 2D video is becoming 3D, remindimg the viewer that its still a 3D world.

video spin



Video Spin


Now I would like to take this time to explain the importance of this program. It is called video spin and it is based on movie maker on windows, it has a lot of features and its free, how cool is that? I think that these programs are awesome e but they take a long time to download, but all of it is worth it! Now the topic is video editing and the really cool thing about this program is that it really doesn’t take that much effort to change and create a whole sequence or movie especially in stop motion animation. Some of the tools that are used in this program are transitions, and slide effects, along with slow-motion sephia tone etc.

Photoscape Tech Tip


My tech tips is PhotoScape, which is a free photo editing software. Photoscape is a versatile photo editing software, since it doesn't just edit photos. The reason why I call Photoscape versatile is because it can create animated .gif images, which is like a slideshow of images into one image frame. Photoscape is also versatile because it has many funcitions such as, photo viewing, photo editor, batch editor, page (merging photos into a single frame), AniGif (creating animated .gif images), printing photos, photo splitter (dividing photos into segments), screen capture (screenshot), color picker (choose different colors from an image), raw converted (converting RAW files into JPEG files) and Paper Print (an option to print music sheet, lined paper, calendar paper, etc.). Photoscape is much like photoshop but it does not have as much tools as photoshop and is not as complex as photoshop, although photoscape does have things photoshop does not have. Photoscape has AniGif, where you can create animated .gif files, printing different types of paper and a photo editing tool that generates speech bubbles, cartoon faces, different pictures, logos, etc.

Movie Masher, your video editing friend!!!

As my tech tip, I have chosen the program called “Movie Masher”. This program enables you to mix and fade multiple audio tracks. It also enables many design possibilities for your movie of choice, which means there are many styles and themes for your movie available for you to incorporate in your movie. However, what sets this program apart from other movie-editing programs that just add effects, transitions, and amazing titles, is that this program enables you to merge more than one video clip in a movie through numerous interesting methods. I chose this program because based on what I’ve learned through exploring the program; it’s that this video-editing program has a lot more features than Windows Movie Maker or other video-editing programs.

What is Graphic Design.



Iam an 8th grade student. I will be talking about graphic design. Some people dont know what graphic design is, well graphic design is“the art or profession of visual communication that combines images, words, and ideas to understand information to the world.” A graphic designer is responsible for arranging and using elements on different types of media (such as a poster, a package or a website), most likely with the use of a graphic design program such as Adobe Illustrator, photoshop or InDesign. these elements include.graphicdesign.about.com this website will show you everything that you need to know about graphic design and it will help you how to use the tools in graphic design.

Picnik's Great Photo Editing!



This program that I have chosen is basically based on pure photo editing. This program allows you to use tips to fully take over your picture and give it a makeover in every way you can with a different variety of tools . It includes features such as darkning, adding effects, changing the color, and even adding shapes to the picture to make it look nice. I especially like the "sharpen" tool where you are able to make the picture look very clear and sharp and it will allow you to see every detail that is in the picture as soon as you apply it to the photo. Another tool to use is also the exposure and contrast which slightly decides the picture's brightness. I really liked this program because it allows you to edit your photos like never before, you can literally change the color, shape, size, and add shapes which really makes the photos fun and interesting to watch. I specificley chose this tech because i'm really into the photo editing process, so this program attached to me instintly. This is the url for picnik, http://www.picnik.com/

Just like crayons, but less tasty

My tech tip is about a website called colourlovers.com. It's used for color palettes, patterns, and just cool colors in general. The website is mostly used by graphic designers, interior designers, and artists, since it helps with their color scheming and makes color theory easier.


Colourlovers allows you to make your own patterns, palettes, and colors, and upload them (you have to register). It's really easy to use the pattern, palette, and color makers! You use pre-made patterns,and just change the colors. You can also make your very own pattern but it's kinda hard. Obviously, you can browse through other users' uploads, and you can save the palettes, patterns, and colors.

The majority of the uploads on Colourlovers is under Creative Commons, meaning that you can use and change the uploads, but you can't sell the finished product or claim that you made the pattern, and you should link back to the original creator. The only things that need the creator's permission to use, are the patterns, as some of them are not made by users.

I chose this website because I've always loved colors and this website helps me work with the colors in my art. I've learned how to contrast colors and which colors go well with what.

If you're interested in checking it out, the website is Colourlovers.

Amazing Free Game Website!!!


The Tech Tip I am presenting is called "Kongregate", which normally is a gaming website, but in your game you can also include game art made with illustrator or a gallery of pictures you created.
On Kongregate you can make an account for doing cool sorts of stuff. You can make a game, you can play games, and earn badges and cards that level your account up. If you make a game, a gallery is cool cause you can show pictures that you made with any program to thousands of people around the world! Not only that but you can make legal money off of it! As you see I showed you this because I think it is an amazing website.
