Thanks so much Yoda and Mrs. Yoda!
Yeah, they are definitely just experiments, me trying to find my voice and just having fun. I still have the craving to film every day, but I'm not because I'm planning stuff out - I think more pre-production effort will go a long way. I don't think any of what I've posted here has been that great, nor were they ever really intended to be (I'm not that precious about any of these), and I think that's because they were made spontaneously. I have noticed the more effort I put into something the better it will inevitably become. With that in mind, I'm at the point where I want to really plan something out (while leaving some room for appropriate spontaneity, of course) - script, storyboard/short list, etc. - because I think at the very least I have a cinematic voice worth expressing, and with more effort put into it I could end up making something worthwhile. At least, here's hoping!
re: music. Actually, only the first few videos used previously-made music. After that, I was making stuff intentionally for whatever little short I was making. Ideally for future work, with the whole planning of script and stuff in mind, I'll start planning and composing the score ahead of time as well. Coming up with musical themes and whatnot.
Very happy the music has resonated with people. Since I started making music people have told me (online and in real life) that my stuff would work well as film music, and I guess that's turning out to be the case. Hopefully, with practice, my filmmaking ability will catch up to my still-growing music-making ability!
