The Flight

Here's video of flight I took from Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C to Heathrow Airport in London, England.



I love airtravel and looking at the video you'll understand the reason. The view is simply unbeatable. I wasn't planning on editing the video when I was recording it so it did take some time to find the right clips to compile together but eventually it turned out better than I had expected. Not exactly a professional material though. I'm taking a course on Digital Media Editing. Hopefully it'll improve my movie-making and photography skills.

Working with Windows Movie Maker

I first discovered the abilities of Movie Maker when I got interested in Youtube. Art is actually the only thing that can make a lazy soul like me to forget my ADD (attention deficit disorder) and work for hours otherwise I'd block out "information" even if a person is giving his last speech before jumping off a cliff.

The first time I used the Movie Maker was to create a video as an evidance that I went on a FOURTEEN hour train ride in Pakistan from Lahore to Karachi. For those of you who are no familiar with transportation system in Pakistan, imagine being couped up in a room with 30 some people for 14 hours with only one bathroom. Yup! The horror. My friends couldn't believe a sane person like myself would do such a thing so I loaded this video for them.



Then I worked on editing some wedding videos for my friends but because of privacy reasons I can't show them here.

At the moment I'm working on editing the movies I made with my little camcorder. I'll load them up as soon as I'm done with them.

Lines of Style

I'm starting to work on a new website, Lines of Style (www.linesofstyle.com). As far as the name goes, I heard it somewhere and it just clicked. As far as the concept goes I'm still confused. I initially wanted it to be online boutique. I did a bit of research and seems like it requires too much time and finances to put it all together so I have to put that dream on hold.

I've had the domain for a while so I just need to develop a website that makes sense with the domain. It's sort of going backwards. Normally people create something then give it a name. I've named something that I need to create.

Here are the steps I need to follow to create the website:

1: Firgure out what I want

2: Website Map - make a map of all the links on website (basically focusing on what information I need to add to website) and how they'll be connected to each other

3: Layout - align the web page content

4: Design - add details and graphics to layout

5: Program - JavaScript, PHP, CSS and whatever's needed to make the website function properly

6: Publish - load it to the server

7: Publicity - if they know it exists, they will come
