Merry Christmas to you all

Via Scoop.it - Visual Artists Resources

I created this collage to explain my feelings about Christmas.  Everyone has their own.  This is what I like to believe.   During this holy time, know that all times are holy, that every religion holds truth, that each tradition is sacred, and that it is in the simple sharing of love that we make our beliefs come alive, and our dreams come true. Let this Christmas Day remind us that Christ came to invite us to offer love to all humankind, and to open the door of God’s kingdom to every soul.     Merry Christmas December 25, 2011

Mix Together Video, Images and Music To Create Your Visual Mashup: Masher

Via Scoop.it - LifeStory Designing

Masher is an online free service which allows you to easily create video mashups, utilizing not only your own uploaded material, but also the rich and growing library of clips, images and music tracks provided by the service itself (though third-party providers).   Masher provides you with a very simple editor interface in which you can add, juxtapose and edit your media clips by simply dragging and dropping them on a timeline. It is also possible to overlay simple titles and add some basic effects to any video.   To be honest, I was quite impressed with the ease with which you can work in Masher, and although I spent only 10 minutes testing it out, I was surprised with the results. In less than 90 seconds I was able to put this together: http://masher.com/player.jsp?key=ff18beef-1996-ad26-ff66-0000fc97018c&adscheme=0 and altough it is a piece of tropical nothingness, shows that if you have a topic and know what you want, Masher can really help you to put together a video even when you may have no available material at all.
