New makeup tutorial

Hey guys!!!

Here's my latest makeup tutorial, made specifically for Valentine's Day.





This baby here took me a lot longer to edit for quite an amount of reasons... One of the main reasons being that I wanted to create an intro similar to a Youtube Guru (Wengie), that does the most adorable beauty videos, and she inspired me to do intros like that, and also an animated logo for myself. So thanks to that I got in a whole bunch of a work.
Then the problems with filming an editing started... the first time I recorded it, the files got corrupted while editing... Second time, I decided I should go for a green screen background, but the lighting and the camera didn't work so well, and the green turned yellow-ish, and so did my skin, so when I edited it the program could not differenciate the green background from my skin, and so parts of my skin would turn into the masked background... Meh, it's shucks I know.
Then the third time I recorded the same tutorial I tried a better green screen, new placing and better lighting... Still, no good came out of it...and all the yellowing happened again. I was about to give up seriously..
I finally got the strenght back up on the next day to film it again. I gave up on the green screen, and simply focused on making good use of a blank white wall, natural lighting that I had that day (here it's very rare to have a sunny day like that) and good artificial lighting that I had around the house (still needs some tweaks but I'll get there soon hopefully - looks wishfully at the previous blog post). And I got it filmed. It wasn't perfect due to the fact that the camera doesn't have the best auto-focus in the world, so most of the close-up footage is blurry... But it was manageable/acceptable to work with.
Then I got the HELL-of-a-pain-in-the-ass-work of editing the video, creating the effects, intro and logo on After Effects while working on Premiere at the same time... Phew, that was a huge headache for me... I never did something like that on AE... Hell! All I ever did on AE was a simple text with falling flowers with pre-done effects... So this was not only hard work, but hours of research of good AE tutorials, and a bunch of failures... BUT I did it!!! I did it ALL by myself! I didn't use a template, nor a loop background resource! Damn I'm proud of myself or what?!?!? Lol. I think you can even notice in my voice over (if you compare to the other videos I did) that my voice is more... bubbly? lol.

Anyhow!!! Enjoy the video! And don't forget to thumbs up, share and subscribe to my channel (if you haven't yet).

XoXo
