A Day in the Bay from Sebastian Zermeno on Vimeo.

During the last classes we were supposed to make a video about any topic that represent us. The video should only have photos of three seconds each and videos no longer than 10 seconds, it must have a duration of 2:30 min. For the theme of my video I focused in the Sun including the beach in some photos. First, I thought to make my video about the Malecon or my life in a day, but I reconsidered all my ideas and I chose the Sun for my theme because it is easy to make many photos about it.

To make my videos I use all the states of the Sun: morning, evening and night. The part that I enjoyed most was the activity of taking photos, I took my cell phone and started to take them placing it in some good spots to get some really good photos and I think I did. I took like 90 photos and put them into the school´s computer. Then, I put a name for every photo, which took me a long time to name all of them. After that, I had to take different pictures from a minimum of 5 classmates, many photos were pretty bad, almost nobody put effort in taking them, so I just chose 5 pictures, the better I could find. As soon as I finished that part, I had to arrange the photos chronologically, following the transition of the Sun. Then, I just added some transition and video effects, and the song: "Mr. Blue Sky" by Electric Light Orchestra. I had many problems while I was doing my video, for example: the computer I use at school, froze every 10 min. and I had to save it after any change I did to it, them when I wanted to open my video, I spent 5 min. waiting the computer to load the video. I had many problems like these, so those problems made me publish my video 3 days after the due date.
