If you bloom, butterflies will come; The butterflies don't come, I bloom on my own
Hello, I am Yulinjun, sharing the gains in learning, the evolution in action, and recording personal and family growth.
There is a chance to meet here.
In the cross-Chinese New Year's Eve of 2023, according to the problems that existed in my body in the past, I formulated 5 key cultivation points for myself in 2023:
1. In 2023, make suggestions and do things with a basis (less emotional decision-making)
2. In 2023, use micro-carving and refined slow motion to improve your construction power and structural power (top priority)
3. In 2023, practice focus, dig deeply, go to the extreme in micro-carving, and continue in action
4. In 2023, find your own ecological niche, no matter where the camera is, use an open growth mindset (starting with the end) to perform this stage play of life
5. In 2023, we must create momentum for ourselves through the realization of fruitful phased goals. There is a need to ensure alignment between short-term and long-term goals.
Therefore, my cultivation on the headlines this year is centered around "refinement".
Reading data for the Refined Technique
Since the release of the series of articles on "Jingjin" a week ago, I have gained 750 new fans, although the income is only more than 8 yuan, but the number of fans has exceeded from 55 to 800, which I never expected. I know that this is everyone's focus on the spirit of perseverance, and the desire to improve their ability to improve, just as I look forward to myself in 2023. Thank you to all friends who like, retweet, favorite, and follow. I will try to share my thoughts and actions with everyone every week.
On Sunday night, I posted a video adaptation of the drama of "Kokura Raising Baby", the first attempt to describe the current situation in family education in the form of a singing video. Although the video playback is not large (there is still a lot of room for improvement), this creative process has a lot of experience for me to extract, which makes me think more and more clearly about the future creative direction, and it is also a cultivation for my layered refinement. At the same time, it also made me feel that if you have the desire to actively create, you must not let it go, and you must strike while the iron is hot and visualize it.

Video of Ogura raising a baby
Regarding the footage of the video, before my child wrote homework, I put my phone in front of her to record it, as if I watched her write homework. The material of these clips is from the simple records of that time. This work took 12 hours (spanning three days) from conception to birth, and it was created in a piecemeal and systematic way of thinking. If you also have an idea, but can't find a large chunk of time, try this step-by-step, layered approach.
2023.3.10 Friday Evening: 20:30-23:30 Creative source, lyrics
1. A week ago, I brushed an adapted version of the video of "Ogura Seeking Buddha" on Douyin, and I thought the idea of this new and old mix was very interesting, and immediately liked and collected it.
2. When I was playing in the square with my children on Friday night, I brushed this person's work again. Then an idea came to my mind that I also wanted to adapt it.
3. So, I think of the tragic scene of children writing homework and parents educating their children, and I feel that it fits well with this miserable tune. I hummed and sang and wrote a draft in a note on my phone. (One of the phrases, "typos only half erased," comes from seeing a parent's message while scrolling TikTok, which I thought was interesting at the time, and the screenshot was kept.) This interesting material is recorded in time, and it will be remembered when it is called in the future. Other words, such as the reverse spelling of "goose", come from observations in everyday life. ）
4. When writing, because I was not familiar with the tune of the original song, I searched for several versions of the tune on the Internet (including the original version and cover videos, and multiple simple accompaniment versions), hummed my words according to the accompaniment, and wrote down two different expressions where I was uncertain and placed there for subsequent consideration (record the tangled places, and must not let it hinder the continuation of the creation).
5. About an hour or so to write out the first draft of the lyrics (the restrictions of the tune make the output more efficient), after returning home from the square, before going to bed, I used the mobile phone to record the function and accompaniment, recorded the minor key several times, polished the rhythm and words again, and finally after more than an hour of tossing, the first draft of the work was completed (that is, with my singing lyrics with the accompaniment of the minor key). This should be driven by a strong desire to create works, fortunately I strike while the iron is hot, otherwise there may be no follow-up.
2023.3.11 Saturday Same night: 16:00-17:00&23:00-03:00 Clip video, music, and match both
6. Familiar with the tune: In the afternoon, when waiting for the child's swimming lesson, continue to play the original video of "Xiaocang Wa I Left Dengfeng Small County", and then hum along a few times, let yourself do the rhythm, and sing together at any time. During this period, the words were polished back and forth many times.
7. Before going to bed, start editing video images with music: use clipping to import and connect different pictures of children's homework that are usually filmed, and then do deletion, from more than half an hour of multiple original materials to the last five minutes of the picture (remove the dark picture, poor shooting quality, or too much repetition of facial expressions). Originally, I wanted to cut it to about 3 minutes, but in order to prevent too much deletion in the later stage, the adjustable space was too small, so I kept the 5-minute draft video.
8. Preliminary matching of video and music rhythm: insert the background music of the first section of Xiaocangwa, so that each picture is on the rhythm card, during this period, constantly adjust the order of the picture, the length of each picture, and the card points over and over again. Since the musical accompaniment borrowed from others was too short, less than a minute, only enough for a piece of content, I re-found the original music, edited out the relatively complete audio of the first section (because the minor key in the latter part was less classic and familiar), and repeated it three times as a complete audio accompaniment. The length of the music is basically fixed at 2 minutes 33-35 seconds.
2023.3.12 Sunday 13:30-15:00 &16:00-20:30 Record sound, match video (tune)
9. Video images and music rhythm accurate card points: In the afternoon and a half of the child's guzheng class, the 5-minute video is edited to 2 minutes and 33 seconds according to the length of the minor, so that the rhythm of the minor key and the content in the video correspond one to one, and the image switching is done in the place where each word change is made, so that the music rhythm and scenery, as well as certain actions, are well checked. And added some special effects to make the video a little richer (also respect the child's opinion, make her crying expression look a little cuter. During the period, a lot of small processing, some actions deleted may be picked back, repeatedly picked).
10. Record singing: When you go home in the afternoon, record a video of the singing words with your mobile phone, and then extract the sound to the clipping. I sang back and forth about eight or nine times, and when the last time was almost successfully recorded, I started to get a little nervous, for fear that my voice would go wrong and my previous achievements would be lost.
11. Match the singing voice with the video: This process went through a lot of tosses, consulted my brother, and finally succeeded in tinkering. Because I don't know much about video, the places I use are temporary. The specific process, interested friends can take a look. Friends who know how to do it can ignore this piece of content.
The first time I recorded music, when I clicked on the recording in the clipping, I found that once the background music of the recording was muted, only my own voice, how did this match the uptune? Then I thought that my phone had a recording function, and I used one phone to play the minor key and the other to record. After the recording came out, I thought that when I cut the recording later, I would just play my voice directly. Unexpectedly, after several times, the two tones are the difference of half a second and a second overlap ...
Then I consulted my brother, and he told me a way, that is, there is a place to extract the audio in the clip, and you can pull the position of the audio after extracting it. But I looked for half a day without recording audio, only extracting video audio, so I took another video of singing, and then extracted the audio into the clipping, and finally put it together... However, because when recording the video, I tuned the background very low, only highlighting my voice, afraid that when I would adjust the editing into the clip, the tuning sound was too small, and some rhythms could not be heard clearly and were not accurate. When singing, a mobile phone is placed next to the mouth to record, a mobile phone is attached to the ear to listen to the tune, and there is also a computer to read the words, and cooperate with several operations. Later, I remembered why some people always bring headphones when recording songs, because they have to hear the precise background key to sing.
So, there is still a lot to improve in the dubbing of this recording, and next time I can turn the tone up with headphones and record it. (Only when you find some problems when you do it yourself will you make yourself pay more attention to how others deal with it.) Therefore, the input of information depends on your past experience, otherwise the information will be like a fallen leaf and cannot be retained. Using works to drive the required skill learning will be more efficient and effective than simple learning. ）
12. Multi-platform simultaneous release: posted on watermelon video (headlines) and Douyin at 8:30 p.m., and sent to the circle of friends by the way to see the feedback.
When reviewing the entire creative process of "Ogura Baby Raising Baby", it was found that two intentional or unintentional actions played some role. For example, brushing the actions of other people's adaptations of Henan minor tunes collection, and seeing mothers' comments on their children's helpless and funny behavior, all inadvertently made me save it in my brain and put it in my mobile phone. When I wanted to call some content later, I subconsciously fished them out for contact. And the child has some wrong questions, I often use my mobile phone to take pictures and keep them, occasionally take them out for her to dictate again, and I can also use them to contact them when creating. Therefore, art comes from life, from observation, from refinement. As long as we are a caring person, the actions you usually brush the video will produce value one day in the future.
When you are immersed in the creation of the work, you don't feel hard because you want it to be perfect;
Where you don't, you don't give up, but find a way to solve it because you want it to be perfect.
The above is my entire thinking and action process, and I will continue to polish this work later, little by little, and it is best to make a few of my masterpieces, which will become my own advantage process of constantly absorbing energy. I hope that my friends who follow me can also take action, and do it immediately when you think about it, not "I plan", "I plan", but "What action can I start now?" "Even if it's just for a few minutes. Time can be fragmented, but thinking should be increasingly systematic. Let's do it together!
If it gives you a little touch or gain, give yourself a thumbs up :)
