Poem - A Brave And Startling Truth by Maya Angelou
This project was the result of several people coming together to pay tribute to the poet Maya Angelou. Maya prepared to poem for the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations and intended it for the entire world. As with many of the videos on my channel, this one was also edited with Blender, on of my favorite open source editing tools. A primary goal for using the application for this process is to challenge the application with tasks I would normally experience in the post production environment. Please feel free to share this video with others and comments are welcome.
Lady Bird
This is a poem I wrote for my mom on her 70th Birthday. I missed her actual party, so I used Blender to animate a whiteboard getting card.
The Gospel Truth
I used a video clip I had of Vinnette Carroll reciting the poem "The Gospel Truth," by Jackie Earley for this masking and tracking project.
