Finished Album

At last my CD has been finished and is ready to be shown to the world!

Main Task

The Finished Piece

Monday, March 20, 2017

Finally. The moment I have been most excited for all year. ITS FINISHED!

This has been the route of so much stress and worry but I'm fairly proud of it (even if the more I watch it the more I find faults. I'm a bit self critical. Oops.).

Main Task

Finished Website

My artist's website is finally finished! After several attempts and re-plannings I've finished it and its published for the world to see.

Main Task

As a final adjustment (hopefully) for my video I want to do some colour correction to help improve the aesthetic of the video and help make it look more professional. However, this is not an area I'm particularly confident in therefore I have turned to the help of youtube for a tutorial and this is the one I found.

I made multiple attempts with this and unfortunately it did not look right and made my video WAY too over saturated. Instead I played around with various set effects on Premiere pro and found one that works.
