    GREAT editing! And the camera movement with the macro is amazing...I have that lens and truly can appreciate what you have accomplished here.

    Any insights into your lighting setup?
  • Salomon plus 1 year ago
    2 little fluroescent cheapos - paid roughly 10 dollars a piece, nothing special - you can see it in one of the frames - when the light goes in and out of focus [sorry hard to get that frame here]

    Salomon, have a few questions concerning this video. Perhaps you can answer some of these.

    at 18 seconds into the film..and pretty much anytime the frames go haywire... Are you using the Twitch plug-in from Video Copilot?

    second. The "Se7en"-like typography effects where you have the text, normal, then huge, then fading somewhere in a corner on screen...how exactly did you go on about doing that in AE? I mean, as far as workflow.. is that taking multiple layers of the text and messing with the scale, size, etc ... or did you use some form of a plug-in.

    Phenomenal work, it's amazing how much is going on in those two minutes. How long did it take you to put all of the editing done, not counting the filming?
  • Salomon plus 1 year ago
    everything all in all - about a week - week and a half or so... - its multiple layers along with a plug in called 'twitch' [by videocopilot.net] - by adjusting the settings so as to act in 'ordered randomness'

    Stunning. Probably my favorite of your work so far. Know that your work is impacting lives and working on hearts & minds. Content is always hard to ignore and can never be trumped by style. And stylistically it's sick. Good job bru.

    What do I believe? I believe the bible is a hoax, a book of war. Christianity is based on Egyptian myths, and used to control/conform the masses. It works very well. Aside from the content, your treatments are amazing.
  • Salomon plus 1 year ago
    thanks bro! - have you read it? if you have and still think it sucks then we'll agree to disagree - otherwise - give it a read with an open mind!
  • SkyCitizen plus 1 year ago
    I think you are the hoax sneaky... Yeah if you had opened a Bible even once you would never post such a stupid comment. You believe in the "somebody told me" but never tried by yourself.
