    I Want to add Music to my Videos – How Do I Do That? (iPhone/iPad)

    August 28, 2019 /

    I’ve gotten this question from enough business owners / solopreneurs that I think it’s worth writing a blog to address it. Now, with all of the technology out there, everyone seems to have their own system. Some of us edit on Macs. Some on PCs. Some film and edit on phones or tablets, which leads to both iPhone and Android processes. For simplicity, this article is only showcasing how to add music to videos you are editing on your iPhone. If you edit on your computer in iMovie, I will create a separate blog for that, in the meantime I do have this video about editing in general in iMovie.…

    Katie’s Top Ten Resources for Finding Music for Videos

    September 6, 2018 /

    So you make a cool video and you pop in your favorite song and try to upload it to Youtube… only for it to be BLOCKED. Because Youtube has determined that the content you used does not belong to you. Aaaaand because you used your favorite song that you don’t own nor have any ties to, you cannot dispute this claim and thus your video remains unseen. *sad face*. OR! You make a pretty cool video, but it’s also a little boring because there is NO music in it. Sound familiar? If you had wanted to keep your favorite song in your video and do so legally, you would have…

    Why and When would we use a Two Camera Shoot?

    August 23, 2018 /

    I just got asked this question “I’ve noticed a lot of people using two cameras including a shot of themselves on the side when they’re actually facing the other camera, why?” Great question! And it’s one I’ve taken for granted. My answer was, “I do it because it looks cool!” But that’s not entirely accurate. Why does it look cool? Because it accomplishes something. Things make us feel certain ways BECAUSE there are deeper meanings, usually subconscious ones as  to why we like them and why they resonate.  “That movie made me emotional!” – it sure did, but why? Because of the music, the timing, the way the shots were…
