Draft - Evaluation Activity 6 - Photos and Stuff


The programs we used for the different sections of the opening were Adobe After Effects CS4 and Adobe Photoshop CS5, with After Effects being used for the main formation of the video (both arranging the clips and cutting/editing each of them, like the lens blur during several of the shots).

The camera is a Panasonic ______ (I’ll write that name in later, once I remember it), and the tripod was a present from an aunt at Christmas. We went through about 5 different DVDs (1x DVD-RW and 4x DVD+R) before eventually getting the video to burn correctly, eventually landing on software called WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe, the same software used for converting the videos from .MTS to .AVI.

We’re looking into finding different software to use for the video editing process in the future, mainly to do with the quality of the image produced at the end. For some reason, After Effects has problems using HD videos, even downscaled versions, as seen by the problems with the green bar and the “yellow stained” sections of several of the shots (which we didn’t realize until post-rendering, and ended up leaving in).
