Bioskop.Inc Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 So I got myself a proper job (as some of my friends would put it) - you know, one that earns you regular good money, one that sucks the life out of you, one that you end up hating! What do you do to get your mind back? 1) Take a song from a friend 2) Find some free footage/pictures online 3) Restrict yourself to only using your NLE of choice for everything 4) Learn where your shortcomings are & REACT in accordance! mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty awesome, it was both calming and frenetic at the same time, but maybe a little long? At 3.5 minutes with a passage from an old sci-fi book or something from TS Elliott narrating over top of the music and I wouldn't be surprised if this became a Vimeo Staff Pick.

Cheers mercer, yes it's far too long & it was even longer, but as I cut, I ended up putting other things into it. Going to give it another good chop at some point, just got to decide what to take out of it & what needs improving. I did cut up a speech from JFK & made his words relevant for today's climate - so that has to go in. Oh well, it's Christmas now & time to relax & enjoy! mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary Knoop Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I like to do video mashups where I merge a song with edited film footage to create a story Most of the time the copyright holders have no objection and monetize the video.

jonpais Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 @Bioskop.Inc It works for me. I wouldn't add a lot of narration, but maybe a few snippets of Kennedy here and there might be effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @jonpais I left it that long as a first draft & just wanted to see if the music/images could drive it forward on their own. Wasn't going to add too much narration, as voice overs are a weak narrative tool. Yes, the idea was to have choice phrases of something Kennedy never said, but which are relevant to today's political meltdown - a kind of comment on all the fake news stories.
