I was quite intrigued by the Skellie Man of Fisherman’s Wharf. We see a lot of street performers when we travel. I thought this was a super innovative costume. Also, I liked the macabre-ness of it.
I also liked that it gave me something to film…and then later experiment with movie making-wise. As I sort of explained in last week’s Movie Monday offering (“Laughing Sal“), I got a new movie making program earlier this year. (Corel VideoStudio Pro x4)
It didn’t click with me right away. I also didn’t have but a few minutes here and there to experiment with it until recently. In other words, the learning curve’s been rather steep.
But I’m starting to get the hang of it. This week I learned how to do voice overs. (This is an ADVANCED WARNING that I semi-sort of sing on this video. Only a few notes though. Your ears shouldn’t suffer too much.)
I hope you’ll have as much fun watching the video as I had making it. Just beware the Skellie Man…he’s not trustworthy!
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
