Green Screen Practice

I am inevitably going to be using green screen effects in the creation of my music video, therefore I have started to practice and again, I was unsure how to make the effect on Sony Vegas Pro 11 so I had to use Premiere and I managed it with relative ease. It's a short 5 second video just to test how it will work out. In the video there's a small problem; Corey's head goes underneath the lines made by the box and I will create some other green screen videos trying to fix this issue.

 

Onion skin layering practise 1

I tried out layering videos to show the same person doing 3 different things simultaneously. However, I found out that this was more complicated as I'm using premiere not Sony Vegas right now. I did find though that you can crop videos and different points to show all 3 people as long as they dont cross the boundaries of the cropping.

Weekend Research Re-do

I recently uploaded a video called "Weekend Research" and I noticed that some of my footage was missing at the end. i assumed I had lost it but it turns out because we switched cameras halfway it was named differently. But now that I have found all my fotage I re-rendered the fixed product and now it shows that we actually draw to a conclusion and find alot of props to use in the last hour of driving around.

Diary 10/07/12

Brainstorm! I've just had a great idea while talking with my friend about the new video editing software (Sony Vegas Pro 11). I wanted to experiment with multiple layered video's or "onion skin layers" and be the drummer, guitarist and singer in a band, all at the same time. I was thinking about this when I realised that in the singers mind in my music video, he's tormented by his undying affections for this girl he can't have. Because of this, I've decided that it would look really good if as he was sitting all alone in the dark, images of her would materialise one by one and start walking around doing things showing his fading memories and affections of her. I will be experimenting with the software to see if I can create this technique before I record my music video.

Weekend Research

This is a video we made that encompasses an entire weekend's work for media.

Sony Vegas Pro Research

In the past for my Media Projects I have used Adobe Premiere to edit and create my videos every time. However these were very basic projects, whereas now I'm creating a much larger project. Therefor I did some research into other video editing softwares that YouTube Users prefer as they make the same length videos that I'm currently creating (with relative ease). After reading countless reviews and watching many tutorials it became apparent that the best choice would be Sony Vegas Pro 11. This is down to the fact that it is fast and simple to use whilst maintaining the highest quality when editing videos and from reading reviews its clear that many people prefer it. However I still need to learn about this software so I am following several beginner tutorials to learn the basics and improve my skills. These will be demonstrated in several planning and test projects I will need to create before finally utilizing the skills I've learnt to create my final project.

Props list

For my Music Video filming I'm going to need a lot of props.
