This is my final video for Project Brief 2. It is also my third attempt! There is nothing worse to hinder creativity than to compare yourself to your classmates! Either way I got there in the end.

This little film is about a motto my friend posted to Facebook that I have taken as some serious life advice. It’s about doing things for yourself, and breaking out of the norm. I also managed to base it around my love of gardening, as the video stars Handsome Man; an avocado tree I grew from a seed who sits by my bed. Its pretty much a video about me spending the day outdoors, riding my bike, hanging g out with nature which are things I like to do.

Some critiques I had with my editing, is there is a part where I zoom in on the seed and there is a sound of applause. I reworked it again and again but it just felt off. I’m really running out of time and I didn’t want to risk anything more, so I showed it to my peers who said they didn’t notice. I settled with what I had.

Enjoy!
