The Scent Of A Man || Author Reading A FreeWrite

in #dtube5 years ago


Hi There SteemVerse Friends,

This is my first FreeWrite on Video. Author Reading is an Initiative between @mariannewest of FreeWriteHouse and @d00l13 of @onelovedtube. The prompt given, "perfume". I have to say, I am super stoked with this initiative. I really hope you like this.

She was the talk of town, once upon a time. Wherever she went she got a standing ovation. She performed to a full house. People loved her

Mum used to call her a horse with blinders. She was always so focused. So set on reaching the end. Sometimes she lost what was really important. Sometimes even when she realised that the end may not be all she had expected at the beginning, she would just keep going.

That's the way it was with him too. When she first met him at a cocktail party that was held in honour of her, she wasn't interested. Her dance gave all she needed. He pursued her. That's the only thing to call it. Like a hunter, his prey. His horse.

She didn't want any distractions. Dancing required a lot commitment. Her solo shows were 90 minutes long and it required routine that did not include a relationship.

He never let up. He was a horse with blinders himself. He bought her flowers. He turned up at all her shows. He called, he messaged and finally she gave in. She remembered that first night so clearly in her head. And even after he left, his perfume lingered in the room until the next morning. She was in love.

But that night, was the first and last they spent together. Their roles reversed. She was calling, texting, showing up at his place. She couldn't remember when she became the greatest dancer to the mad woman who lay in her special room. Thinking of him. Dancing for him.

Fabulous short-story freewrite! Your voice is perfect for narration! The animation was great, too, especially the part where the shadow took her hand and lifted her up a bit! Wow! 😃

My only suggestion is to perhaps lower the volume of the music a bit next time, as it almost overpowered your lovely voice at times!

Hey @thekittygirl
Thank you so much for the feedback
Will listen out to audio levels moving forward
Have also included text in the later ones just incase

And thank you so much for the encouraging words
Yes, I really liked this interpretive dance video too
It was great to work with
<3

What a fabulous reading. 💕

Thank you so much @wonderwop
I had a lot of fun doing it :)

This is blowing my mind!! I love this video!! You are such an amazingly talented woman!! And I have no idea how in the world you did that!!!

Thank you so much
I actually had a ton of fun putting this together
I just used a ton of editing tools
And the video footage I found on pexel.com was fantastic too

I absolutely loved the animation you managed in the video editing @kaerpediem, as well as the story created through the freewrite.

I was wondering if I could be cheeky and ask you about your process and maybe where you got some of the footage? Or if you made it yourself that is even more impressive. Anyway, I'm a fellow #powerhousecreatives member so if you want to message me in discord I'd really appreciate any insights you could give me toward editing. I am at the beginning stages of trying to learn better video editing. I have the basics like transitions and some effects but I have been creating similar poetry readings like your video here with images to add to the feeling of the words... but with less success compared to what you achieved here.

Loved this short film :)

Sorry @raj808
Took me so long to get around to the replies
Yes, yes of course we can DM each other
I really just played with transitions mostly
And this video footage I found on pexels was great
I too fell in love with it and now am thinking who amongst my dancer friends I can get to do some interpretive dancing

I have also been toying with the idea of subscribing to a website with video footage but they are a little pricey...
Still kinda going back and forth with it

I use movavi editor by the way
They have some great transitions compared to imovie :D

Please feel free to DM me anytime :D

You had me hanging on every word with your story and the video footage was a great choice. Very creative! You definitely have the voice for narration :) Been missing seeing you. I've been so busy lately, but trying to get back on track. Keep writing, you are great at it :) ♥

Thank you for the encouragement ❤️
This was fun to do

There's something about short-form fiction writing that makes it very appealing. In the hands of an adept wordsmith, it can sing great melodies. This one is an awesome song.

Coming from you, that's a compliment
Thank you Thank you for the kind words and encouragement :)

Oh my... It is like a magic to me. I mean this video. Coz I know no head or tail how you do this! Amazing. I super love it!

Keep them coming. And your voice is so suitable. 😉😍

Thank you so much Jadeline
I too had a lot of fun putting this together
It does take some time but I loved every second :D

Wow such a good point of view you have made here. A good and different prospective you put to focus here. Quite interesting on how she met the man Always an interesting thing to think about. Perhaps some awareness here. thanks for sharing!!

So happy you enjoyed it :D

Such an interesting idea with the video. Loved the story!

Thank you so much
Love that you loved it ❤️

I will have to watch it later because I am watching a very active 2-year old right now. He is super cute :) but voting and resteeming LOL

He is the one that was trying to eat walnuts right?
He is super cute ❤️

This one is a different one. We have a large assortment of small people available to us LOL

We are visiting my husband's daughter in Mississippi and her little dude is super cute - and doesn't stop moving 😂
