Edited Cut...

I've put some audio to a short edited cut of the final video, just to test ideas before the final cut is finished in the next couple of days...

More Sound Ideas...

After working my way through a whole load of tutorials the last few days, I've been playing about in Adobe Premiere Pro today. Just been trying different ways of using music and effects over some chopped up footage of Woolwich underpass. This was the best of the efforts I did. I must own up to the piano loop being sampled from Aphex Twin's Petiatil Cx Htdui but this was just for testing and in future it will all be fresh material.

London Bridge...

Went out around London Bridge yesterday. We decided to just see what we could find rather than plot a definite destination, fortunately we found some really good sites to shoot around the Guy's/King's College Campus. We had decided to focus on macro shots of weird items and parts of buildings that we found, we both agreed that from our last shoot that the footage that worked best was that which you couldn't really tell what it was till you zoomed out from it.

Check out more pictures from the shoot at our new flickr page.

Software Test...

Been trying out a couple of different video editing software's, in an attempt to find one I'm most comfortable with. Tried Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere Pro. Decided to use Adobe as it seems a lot more functional, is laid out easier and has more options to get the look we're going for. Run into a few problems with the footage though, which I'll need to figure out. At the moment, the footage isn't a true 16:9 which we had hoped for it seems that the way we have been shooting on the Sony PD150 camera has just been cropping the footage to appear wide-screen. This isn't my area of expertise so I will get more clarification on resolving this problem when I next meet up with my friend who is taking care of the shooting and video editing side of things. As you can see from the test footage posted below, the filters and effects are currently effecting the whole screen rather than just the enveloped footage. I'm sure it will be pretty easy to fix for someone not as novice as me.

Test using part of bath sequence shot at Pontoon Dock,
with some scratch and noise filters added over the top of some time delay blurs using Adobe Premiere Pro.

This clip shows the footage alongside some audio i sequenced roughly using Steinberg Nuendo.
