Sixth Video Experiment

This is my lastest editing experiment, a music video for “Love is a Suicide”. For the title intro, I used a template created in Video Copilot Evolution, removed and then added some elements as well as changing the background colour. I integrated the official artist’s logo along with a paintbrush stroke element. I employed Twitch to the text to create a stuttering effect. An overlay of real 8mm film was applied to the title intro to create a grainy, dark feel. The video footage seen is from the Baz Luhrmann classic “Romeo + Juliet” which fit the subject matter of the song perfectly.

Get It Up! : Fifth Video Experiment

This is my newest editing venture and it is a longform PSA-type of video to spread awareness on not only H.I.V. infection in Africa (as is usually shown in the media) but also the much less highlighted Aboriginal communities in North America. I also wanted to point out the fact that H.I.V. is a global problem and not just relegated to one continent (Africa) but others much less discussed like Europe.

Fourth Video Experiment

Firstly, I used Adobe After Effects to create the title intro, specifically the effect Particle World to generate particles. I also employed the AAE plug-in Twitch for the shaky cam effect in the intro. This is the first video I tried with Twitch.

Sound Editing Reel

The clip above shows the original footage of “The Fracture” as well as the greatly improved final product.I had to do quite a bit of sound editing- adding sounds such as a ringing phone and editing dialogue. In terms of the dialogue, I had to make it as clean as possible and remove background din as well as convert spoken dialogue into a voice coming from a phone. I mostly used Sound Forge for these tasks.

Camera Reel
