My time in Hershey was spent making video after video, I'm still catching up on all the editing!
And while I am catching up on the editing, I was able to finish a series of three promo videos that I was asked to make for a Confidence Conference that is being put on at the Hershey Evangelical Free Church this upcoming January (1/16/10 I believe).
Check them out:
Promo 1
First of all, please ignore the countdown at the beginning of this video ... long story behind that one.
I made this video with my homemade dolly, which runs on homemade PVC tracks. Overall, it cost about $60 to make, but it gets super sweet smooth shots so it is completely worth it!
After the filming I just had to spend a few hours editing to get the motion tracking of the text to work out to a acceptable standard. I did this in Final Cut Pro. I'm pretty sure most people would (and should) do this in Motion, but since I don't have Motion I make do here ... I happy with the results.
Promo 2
This one is all text animation, similar to the entry I made into World Vision's poverty competition ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M0gBddPuS4 ). I can't remember the total time spent on this, but it took a good few hours. Even with all the time these type of videos take, I love the way they look so it's worth it!
Promo 3
This video is the third and final promo video I made. We filmed it at the same time as the first video and it was a whole lot more uninvolved. Honestly, all it was was my camera on a tripod, pointed at my black backdrop and a few lights. I played a tad with the brightness, contrast and saturation of the video to make it look a little more interesting, but overall there was very little production that went into this video.
