Documentary

I thought that this is a cool documentary trailer. It has interviews and action and turns something as boring as rehearsing for a play interesting.

And yes i am actually in this documentary...

How to Edit With Wondershare

Hey guys,

I thought that this video was very helpful. It may be helpful for you guys too, because it is a tutorial on how to edit with Wondershare- The Editing Software we will be using in class.

My Ideas For SCA Music Video

* Zombie Apocalypse
* Zombies Would Chase SCA Students
* One Zombie Would Sing the Song "Gangnam Style"

Here is the Song:

* Zombies Would do the Gangnam Style Dance While Chasing the Students
* The Only Survivors Would be the SCA Video Editing Class

Three Point Lighting

This video is a great tutorial on three-point lighting. Although I already use the three-point lighting method, I did learn about a new angle of lighting I did not know about- the hair light. Before I would use a backlight (a light on the floor just behind my subject) But a hair light is actually more useful than a backlight. Another thing that I was doing wrong was having the key light and fill light the same brightness. For ideal lighting the key light should be brighter than the fill light.

This video was a tremendous help! :)

All Night Long!!!

This video was made by two of my absolute favorite YouTubers Rhett McGlaughlin and Link Neal. They stayed up all night singing Lionel Richie's classic song "All Night Long" for 11 hours straight. I thought that this video utilized a good use of time-lapse. This video obviously required hours and hours of tedious work to stop at just the right moment in the song. Just imagine having to work through 11 HOURS OF FOOTAGE!!! Even more amazing imagine singing the same song 11 hours straight....

NOTE: I actually knew the time and place they were shooting the house party scene. They had invited anyone to come to that. I was planning on being in the shoot, but then I realized that they were not accepting minors :(

Also here is the unedited full 11 hours of footage...

Boom Mic Operating Video

Hey guys I thought this video was an interesting instructional video on booming your subject. This video shows how to mount a standard camera shotgun mic onto a boom.

What I Hope to Achieve This Year

I am greatly looking forward to this year's video editing class. I hope to widen my skills and achieve a greater knowledge of everything related to video editing.
