the making of..

My niece made this heart out of some plastic beads and gave it to me on my birthday in December. So in theory I basically collab'ed with a 4-year-old on this one...

I imported the two images above into Sony Vegas. Using 3 layers/video tracks, I played around with the masking tool a bit, then adjusted the contrast, brightness and colour balance in order to make the heart fade in and out and gain its red colour in the end. I finished off by chopping Moby's 'Porcelain' into pieces and adding it to the soundtrack.

This is the result:
