I made my first video with a Nikon D5000 DSLR.  My friend (and video genius) Jerod has been giving me pointers, and over the years of working with him, I have learned much.  He talks about using Photoshop graphics in his videos and how you can use all of the same blending modes.  He uses FinalCut, I’m using Premiere.  Here’s the graphic I used to get the textured effect.  I added it on top of the video and changed the blending mode to ‘overlay’.

I had a blast making this video!  Its only purpose was to learn more about video making.  Ambient noise and the music was more challenging for me than the video parts.  I did find some stock music, but I need to learn more about blending it in properly.  :)
