UK buyer interested in clip..tech question:

Hi Allan,
Thanks for sharing details of your music video project. I am looking forward and cannot wait to see the preview. Congrats to Orbitrob.

Wish you good luck!

A hint about using HD clips in an SD world.. I know in Sony Vegas I can do a real time conversion on the fly and mix clips simply by telling it to no keep the aspect ration and then setting the value to go either HD or SD. - The quality stays very nicely in tact and virtually no pixelization. Here are some samples of such combinations:



HD and stills mixed

And here is one that was shot in HD and portions in SD, but all converted to SD. (Also integrates stills)

Mix of stills HD and SD

Hope that helps and gives some insight.

Very cool stuff. I'd like to see the music video sometime! My sister does music prudction stuff in Germany and they are about to shoot a music video. They are trying to talk me into flying the from USA and helping. I might do it for a free week in europe.

Ok guys, this is it!

Please bear in mind that the single hasn't been released yet, and this is an exclusive preview especially for you good folks and pond5!

I hope you enjoy it, please let me know what you think.

Kind Regards
Allan

Neat

I like it... might need a few more clips to keep from repeating some of them often.

Great editing, Allan. As Dapoopta says, you should add a few more clips or some effects to keep from repeating, mostly for the second half. Good luck!

"Good job" very catchy tune, as said above if the budget allows maybe a few more clips needed to break the repetition

Ok, thanks guys.
I take your comments on board. I think you're right, maybe a bit repetitious with the same clips in some segments. I'll keep searching for more clips. It's so important to get your feedback, as it's easy to get engrossed in what you're doing, so thanks.

Also, I'm pleased the general concensus seems to be positive so far, that means a lot, believe me.

Many Thanks
Allan

Cool to see my clip in there Allan. :0)
I agree with the comments to avoid the repetition of clips. One way you could use the same footage without it looking 'repetitive' - would be to create different versions of the same clip with some kind of graphic treatment. ie. 'inverting' the colour could work well.
