So sad… My Rejected Etsy movie entry

Etsy.com had a contest going on for making a movie about handmade moments. My entry was the video clip I put together featuring me making and then performing with a set of flag poi. They are so cute — white (UV reactive), sheer organza with silver holographic dots on them. I also happened to weight them really well so they just flew so nicely.

Anyway, because of the Etsy.com lawyers, this clip was rejected because you can see the banner in the background. So sad. . . Hope you enjoy it though!

We could have blurred that banner out in AE.

what is AE? I tried to blur it out in FCP but i didn’t know how to use the filter well enough and the amount of effort it was taking plus the deadline made it impossible for me to get done given my lack of competence with FCP.
