Hi all, since I'll be making some videos for college courses that I take, so I figure it would be fun to share.
Here is my first one. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
http://www.onetontomato.net/movies/2550final.mov for Quicktime
http://www.onetontomato.net/movies/2550final.wmv for Windows Media Player
This was for an Intro to Television class. It was a Mini Summer Session. The whole class was done in 3 and 1/2 weeks. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohgeez.gif It was the final project, the last of 4 different projects for the class. The first 3 were scripted by the Professor, and for the final we had to write our own. I wrote ( some of the wording is taken from the Simpsons ) and directed it. My project was due on a Wednesday, I wrote it that Monday, and edited the media Teusday and Wednesday. I actually had a different video sequence that I edited on Teusday, but after running through the scene it didn't fit as well as I thought. So I edited the Mars Attacks! footage together on Wednesday before class.
I directed it live to tape. Students in the class were the camera, audio, video operators, floor director etc... All the acting was live and I had to cut to logo, pre-recorded video, etc...
The voice over in the beginning was me, and I added the X-files music. The Fox logo was printed by my computer and shot with the video camera live. David (the actor) came over Teusday night and pre recorded the "thought" voice. That was a compilation of about a dozen takes, I took certain words and phrases from the different takes to make the final cut. Then added FX to make it seem like a soap opera thought scene.
The video was ripped entirely from this trailer. http://marsattacks.warnerbros.com/cmp/2-trailer.html So you can see what I had to work with. The audio for the video was also difficult. If you watch the trailer you notice there is a voice over through most of it. I had to extrapolate the martian voices, lazer blasts, explosions etc... and re-create them in sync (sort of) with the video. You can see I changed it a good bit.
In hindsite I would have changed a bunch of stuff. But this was a live to television directors course not a screenwrighters course, so the grade was taken from how it all came together with my directing. Plus the time from concept to video shoot was only 3 days. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
School shouldn't be this much fun.
