These clips are random moments from different days in my life. I shot them all using my iPhone and edited them together on my phone using an app called Reel Director. This was just a test, there's no specific point to the video except that they're all moments that I enjoyed enough to record. It's pretty rad that I can make something on my phone like this.

Kayla Price, 20, of Denver, gets her start earning a spot representing Denver and the Mercury Cafe in Women of the World Poetry Slam, a national competition. She placed 42nd out of 72 competitors. Not bad for someone just starting out. She's got a lot of heart.

At this point I blog so irregularly that I'm mostly doing this for myself. My plan from tonight on is to post each video I make and write at least one thing that I learned from the experience, something I can hopefully remember and improve upon in my next attempt.


Take away from this video: Even when shooting projects one must remember to shoot/think in sequences and to get details. Makes editing way easier.
