Videography Goal-setting :: A Visit from F-Stop Seattle

SCCA was paid a visit this morning by Jake & James of F-Stop Seattle, a video production house with a wide-array of talents but primarily known for their staggering time-lapse photography. I didn't realize it when I first saw these two unassuming gentlemen, but I already knew their work from BuzzFeed... not only that, but I watched it wide-eyed with wonder and maybe a little dust in my eyes with love for my city.

They showed off some new technology and emphasized the importance of maintaining a website or blog that highlights the work that you'd like to do more of, even if producing it has to be on your own dime.

*This post was brought to you by the latest release from Odesza, I don't want to spill any cats out of beanbags, but keep your eyes peeled for a collab between the gents at F-Stop & Odesza soonish.

Color Theory :: Personal Palette

There's something extra-exhausting about projects that require introspection... BEHOLD...an exercise in color theory from the fabulous Robynne Raye.

Personal Color Palette: Understanding personal and psychological aspects of color

Step One: Pick out 3 images/examples that represent you. These images can be printed off websites, taken from magazines, be someone else’s business card, poster or postcard, etc. Take into consideration how color represents you and your personal brand. Take into account the emotional and psychological attributes of color.

Step Two: Pick three words that represent you. These should be concise and descriptive. Try to think deeper about what these words say about you ~ try not to use words like “fun” or “cool”, but instead words like “relentless” or “determined”.

Step Three: Pick 3 colors (could be tints or shades) that match with the images and the words you chose. Don’t pick your favorite color.

Step Four: Match each image/example with one of your words that you chose and use the color for the words. Display them nicely on letter size paper and add to your notebook.
