I think it was pretty good, and that's coming from a guy who knows zero about putting something like this together.
1) What camera(s) were you using? I liked the quality of the video and the selective focus techniques. With the first speaker, I couldn't help but keep looking at the reflection to see what vehicles were coming and going. Next time, maybe consider reflections?
2) "How to save a life" for the music. Brilliant.
How did you go about using that sound track? How much was it? Is that in Creative Commons? Curious how that whole music thing works.
3) Was that you doing the narration? Sure didn't sound like you!
Pulling something like that together in three days. Wow. That's some quick learning and trial by fire. But 'ya done good in my book.
What's the intended audience? Where will it be placed?
.
Thanks for the compliment. I've put in a few really late nights :Rofl:
1. High end Canon DSLR. Our associate pastor, Joe, had his own photog business and studio for many years before working for the church full time. He still does corporate head shots and stuff. He did the filming and had the equipment and knows how to use it.
I help "direct" the shots. Try to get the subject to give me useable info. One of my main challenges this project was, the language barrier for Ramona. Had to have some one translate all our footage so I could pick clips and put it in. So I really didn't know exactly what I was getting. The other challenge was, I wasn't able to make the second shoot. Had I been there I would have had him word stuff differently so I could have told his story better.
I've learned there's a big difference in communicating information and telling a compelling story.
2. For the music, I think I'm kinda breaking the rules. I bought an instrumental only track, and plugged it in. I paid $2 or something on iTunes.
3. Haha no, not me. I have an ugly voice, and a face for TV
. That's actually my boss (and pastor of my church). He has a background in TV and communication and a good voice for stuff like this.
The audience are most corporate business folks, they hope will donate a ton of money to keep the operation going throughout the year. It'll be played there, and will probably end up on their website. I made one last year that went over really well. Made that one in iMovie.
Premier is a great program. I was watching a lot of YouTube videos on how to do stuff and finding my own way on some. It's really tedious. Each frame that was white with text was a different pic or page I had to make, and then time with the voice over.
Surprisingly as ADHD as I am, I'm able to sit still and do stuff like this. Unfortunately I don't hit my stride and am more creative after midnight, and I'm not as young as I use to be
