Building blocks. If you steal this, plz give all deh credits.

In about a week, I'll be launching a Kickstarter for a project I've been contributing to for the past month. Lingual has been a project at TinyFactory that started before I joined the company earlier this year. I have a bucket on Dribbble with some of the work, as does Michael.

We're planning on an October 8th launch, and I was put in charge of handling all the video for all the marketing and advertising. Video isn't something I necessarily identify with when it comes to skillset. It's more of a hobby, or a tool in the shed if I ever need to rely on utilizing it for myself. Photography follows the same formula.

Designers have the ability to use the fundamentals of their field to apply into all these different mediums. Line, shape, color, space, and texture. I hit the ground running, and kept a smile on my face the whole time. I'm no expert at filming, have no knowledge whatsoever in the theory of cinematography, nor the practices to adopt/avoid. I just hit the record button, and moved around until we ended up with something we liked.

I'm proud of what we ended up with. I had fun taking random pictures, and making dumb videos in the process. I just used the building blocks.
