You know the Haunted Headlines I’ve been posting? Well, I’ve been wanting to do those for years, but also something else: a video version of them.
In fact, the post version sprung out of the video version idea.
But it took me a little while to figure out how to make the video version a reality.
That’s why I finally started the posts. I decided there was no time like the present and I could at least do the written version until I knew how to create my other vision.
The funny thing was, once I started doing the post version, everything else fell into place.
I found an app that is both a teleprompter and a video editor. It also works with a green screen, so I could really make my vision a reality!
All I had to do was get the green screen.
And once I did, I found a cool new lighting and camera holder option that works with my tripod to solve another problem I’d had and voila! Just like that I was all set up to get rolling –literally!
I used last week’s Haunted Headlines for the week ending April 13 to create my first video.
It’s not perfect. I’m still learning how to use the editor and the app.
But it gives you a great idea for where I’ll be taking Haunted Headlines going forward.
Check it out and let me know what you think!
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.
