The £18 Music Video: Part III
Well its Tuesday now and I’m back at work so I’m not sure I will get a chance to meet up with Matt and do anything more on the video for a few days so I’m using this time to look at tutorials, mainly Adobe After Effects for the post-production. I’ll be honest, I’ve never used After Effects before, other than having opened the program and stared blankly at an empty timeline wishing I knew what I was doing.
So far I have received great feedback from friends on twitter after posting yesterdays blog and I’d like to thank everyone for their feedback, support and comments.
The point of this music video is to prove to ourselves and hopefully other unsigned bands or budding movie makers that you don’t need to spend a lot of money or even have any prior directing or editing skills to make a movie. All you need is the time, effort, willingness and patience to learn (a family member with a HD mini-cam also helps). This continues to be a learning curve for me and hopefully the outcome will produce a music video that all involved can be proud of.
In previous posts I’ve shown stills from the video and I thought it would be interesting to show a few behind the scenes photos from the day of the shoot.
