PearlieMae's Silicone Tail Journey

[Mermaid Narina]

that translucent fluke though <3 <3 <3 looks amazing with the light through it!!

[Harpress]

My the detail on those scales and the iridescence of that Fluke! Just Beautiful PearlieMae. You make truly gorgeous tails

[Merman Jamie]

Just read this thread over the last 2 days and this has been an AWESOME read and your tail has turned out AWESOME.

All i can say is WOW. You are a great tail maker.

[PearlieMae]

Thank you all! I haven't done much video editing before, but I'm pleased with it. I wish the water were more clear, though. Of course, all I can see are the flaws in the tail! Ha!

Reminds me of my mum. She's an incredible knitter/crocheter and if she's making something that she's almost at the end of and sees a mistake right at the beginning - OUT the stitches come and she will redo them over. She always said that when she made something for us she always saw the flaws, even if we didn't see them.

I think your tail is very pretty, PearlieMae

[Echidna]

Did you take the video down?
Coz it says not available

[Mermaid Galene]

Nice! Very artistic.

YouTube will let you trim that black off of the video without having to re-upload it. Just go to Creator's Studio: Video Manager: select your video: Edit: Enhancements: Trim. Also, if you can shoot your videos in a 16:9 aspect ratio, they will fill the entire player screen when uploaded.

Man....that translucent fluke and fins. Now I want a Pearlie Mae tail.

[Rogue Siren]

*squee* That translucent fluke is to die for! <3 <3 <3

[PearlieMae]

Annwyn, sounds like my mom...until I told her the Hopi Indians always weave a deliberate mistake into their work, because only The Great Spirit is perfect. She still sees any mistake as glaring, but now she leaves it in.

Cal, I was editing it a little while ago, maybe it was offline while you were trying to see. Does it work now?

Galene, thanks! I found it! Actually, I did shoot it widescreen, but I was running out of time and exported it to a .dv file instead of a .mov I'm going to replace it with a widescreen version today.

Aurelia, You can have one! I have installment plans!

Milieu, I know, right???

[Sherielle]

Pearlie Mae....I just may take you up on that. With all the colors I like, the individual scales add more possibilities. Also...TRANSLUCENT FINS AND FLUKE! lol

[PearlieMae]

Translucence...the holy grail of mermaid tails!

[Cerulean]

Pure genius Pearlie! The way the side fins flutter so gracefully.... and of course that fluke. Absolutely gorgeous, definitely looking forward to more swim videos if you choose to post more

[PearlieMae]

Hopefully, I can get to a pool with decent filtration! I totally talked my way into using this hotel pool Sunday! The pool at my gym is usually always loaded with people, or if I go late (I have 24 hour access), they don't turn on the pool lights, so I have to swim in dim overhead lighting.

Cal, I was editing it a little while ago, maybe it was offline while you were trying to see. Does it work now?

nope
I get only this


and it doesn't even tell me why

I'll check back now and then, maybe it's a country issue or something.

Loaded with people or no lights eh?
I know what I would choose!

(underwater flashlight comes in handy here)

Seriously, your tail is beautiful, and watching you swim in it just makes my heart want to happy'splode.

[PearlieMae]

Thanks, Slee!

I made some tweaks and set on a higher quality...

[MarkF]

Sorry your Mermaid Ladyship, Android still has sync issues in the video. Sound is good, the video had bands that makes me think it's reading the file as the wrong Jpg version.

[PearlieMae]

Works fine on mine!

Stuff, Android v. 4.4.2 - Don't sweat the small stuff.
