 PHOTO: I am editing the promo clip about "MAUS HABITOS". (For picture thanks to the waiter:)

Queima das Fitas in Porto is the biggest University celebration a bit like Spring Break, that lasts one week every year, preparing college students for the upcoming exams.

Queima das Fitas in Porto started, officially, in 1944, taking over  a previous event called Festa das Pastas. Every year, Porto had this party except in the period between 1971 and 1978 and grew considerably in events within the event and on the number of people that attend it. It is held on the first week of May in several locations in town, from Avenida dos Aliados to Queimódromo, close to Parque de Cidade. 

***Week 2 in Porto***

Second week started with managing and picking the right material for the latter work on the project. We hand picked some photos and videos, Lena worked in Photoshop to edit some pictures for a future animation that we intend to use in our video about the Arvore art school. Then we worked together on a video editing at Final Cut Pro. The weather is starting to improve and hopefully we can go to the ocean tomorrow to shoot some time-lapses there. Eventually, we make a final editing and start to add animated bits to it, which will take some time due to our lack of knowledge of Adobe After Effects, but Joao is willing to teach us so we are not worried :) 

That's it for today! Watch my video about the Queima das Fitas!

Second week has started

The second week in Porto we started from video editing.
We sorted all photos and took the best.
We visited the oldest bookshop in Portugal. It is in Top-3 most beautiful bookshops in the world(shop is really beautiful). I bought very interesting book about graphics design

The working process

Day 4

It's Thursday already and we are working with After Effects. It was raining all day long so we could focus on studying.We tried hard to draw an animated dragon, but it didn't turn out to be perfect though :D  Afterwards we created a schedule for our continuos project about filming the school activities and catching its vibe. Plan is to make a short video using time-lapse and add some animation to give it a bit of creativity, motion and dynamics.

In the evening we went to visit Via Katarina shopping center but, unfortunately, it happened to be already closed so we just walked around the streets and bought some souvenirs with Porto symbolics.

On the way back we visited a local concert where performed Helena Kendall! Her first song was one of my favorites from Norah Jones called 'Don't Know Why'.

All in all the day was great in spite of bad weather!

In Porto 3rd day is was very rainy.
We worked in aftereffects program in animation class. We tried to draw animated dragon with teacher.
In the end of the day we wrote the storyboard for our timelapse task.

"Maus Hábitos"

I started my practice in company "Maus Hábitos" nearby to COLISEU. This is the place, where organize a lot of events. For example, different fests or DJ Sets. This is a creative place and popular among local people. I am enjoyed.

Today I have started my practice in Lumen company.

Alright! It's freaking Tuesday! Second day, at school....We've met with personal, talked a little bit about our further plans! We've got different assignments, I and Lena have to shoot a video about Avrore school from a foreign perspective, as you say. :) Tonight we have made quite a lot of pictures of the school and tried new techniques like Time Lapse...Then we went to a parade which was a lot bigger than i personally thought it would be :D Thousands of students were raging and celebrating the end of studies and entrance into the adult world...That was freakingly awesome and eclectic, I would even say that their energy had burst some fire in my heart to treat the life in a more positive and insane way...Afterwards, we went to eat some local meal in a little restaurant. We got sea bass fish and salmon so that we could taste both dishes at once :) They were delicious, but nothing spectacular!

In conclusion, I want to say I love Porto and its traditions, people are friendly and beer is cool :D

Day 2

Second day in Porto was amazing. In the morning after disscussing our task we started planning the work. After first day of work we went to see the students' parade. The Queima das Fitas (Portuguese for Ribbon Burning) is a traditional festivity of the students of some Portuguese universities, organized originally by the students of the University of Coimbra . Extraordinary quantity of students wearing black cloaks, hats and t-shirts of variaty of colors were moving on colorful trucks.. Everyone screamed and sang loudly. I've never seen such happy students in my life.
