Long day full of shooting and logging and mowing oh my. Ben and I started work on a new experimental video today. I think we have the content right, now we need the flash...the delivery mechanism....and I'm not quite sure what to do. We can't just put a series of short interviews back to back, it worked for Conversation, but this new project is much quicker. We're aiming at the 60-90 second mark. It needs to move fast so it needs the right music. I'm going to talk to Jeanne tomorrow about that, she's fantastic at finding just the right music. I wonder if we have any hard rock tunes in our music library...I'm thinking that's the direction to go. Fast paced, quick cuts, students talking and being honest. I'm going to go shooting tomorrow afternoon and see if I can get some funky shots around campus. At the beginning of this week, I had thought we might be able to complete a version for Sue's meeting next week, but unless inspiration strikes tomorrow, I don't want to rush this.
I know what we need to make it exciting....sword fights!

But seriously, how cool was that? There was only one clip in there I didn't recognize...the one with the dude in yellow armor. Unless, that was from Hero, in which case I've seen all those films.
The guy in the yellow armor is Chow Yun Fat and the film is "The curse of the Golden Flower", by Zhang Yimou (same director as "Hero"). I know because I edited it :) Thanks for linking my video to your blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I still haven't seen that one, but I'm betting some of the other clips are from it as well. I probably saw them in the trailer or thought they were from Hero. Great job on the edit and great choice for music as well. I also posted it on my FB page, and then others posted it on theirs. Swordfighting and fun music. What's not to love?
