is this the revised one?

No..Im working on it

would love to see this in HD as well! great video!

Actually I color corrected the entire sequence so it looked slightly green and also played a little bit with the levels so that the blacks would feel really rich. Thanks for your comment :)

Hey Thanks Clarence. I used AE for only a few of the split screen shots, like the beginning shots where the clocks time up with the music. The rest was Final Cut.

Here's a hint: when you have a clip selected in your Final Cut timeline, go into the "motion" tab and play around with the cropping function. That should get you started. From there, it's just a matter of what you like. Take care, man

you can also use the crop tool in your tool bar. I actually just figured out a real application for that recently after using FCP for 7 years!

Michael- this is really a fantastic use of split/geometric screen. I haven't seen anything done like this. Totally innovative. I don't even want to think of how long this took you. Did you use a steadicam in that office scene or was that an office cart? =) It looked fantastic either way. Incredible work!

I used an office cart actually. I had no intentions of lining up the 2 shots in one with that initially. I had 2 that i really liked and when it got down to it, I figured I'd just used both at the same time! Thanks for your comments. I appreciate it

Hey cool :)

I actually had my camera on a cart that we use at work for that shot. I just slowly crept the camera closer and closer to our printer, hard at work mind you, knowing that I'd later speed the footage up. The split screen was totally by accident. I just couldn't figure out which shot I liked best out of the 2 so I decided to go with both! With a little playing around with it, it seemed to line up pretty well so I went with it.

Yeah I like that too. I like at the beginning right when it goes black and the record scratches. The it opens up with the "tri -shot"

Thank you much

thanks alot :)

Thank you...

Thank you much

wow. im flattered. Thanks man. More to come for sure. Stay tuned!

Haha thanks :) I must admit, the hands on the clock timing to the beat just happened to be a stroke of luck that worked out in my favor.

Ahhhh the sweetness of unintended synchronicity!
(on the beat no matter!)

Hahaha pun intended?

I completely agree with Nickolas. This is a gorgeous piece of art, one that is perfect down to the music selection. I love your use of split-screen, too; it reminded me of one of my favorite artists, the title designer Pablo Ferro. One of his most famous works was the opening titles for Norman Jewison's "The Thomas Crown Affair." This reminded me of it, so vibrant and rich.

Also, a question: what snowy town was that? I'm from Cooperstown, NY, and your scenery reminded me a lot of neighboring towns up near there.

Great work, and I can't wait to see what you do next!

Thank you for the kind words. I have not seen that movie but a guy I work with loves it. Ill have to check it out now that you've mentioned it. I live in Rochester, NY. I shot this at my apartment, my parents house, and in spencerport where I work too. :)

A Sony HDR FX1, just bought it a couple months ago.

Why thank you :) I just realized this was 26 days ago that u commented on this video. Im sorry.

Yes I did apply the drop shadow in FC. Is it too much you think? A friend of mine didn't like how thick the black borders turned out. She thought they should be a touch smaller.

No not at all. I like the thick borders too. Again, outstanding work.

please do :)

Thanks a bunch. You're the one who inspired me to make it! :) Cheers!

Hey thanks Dalas

Thanks Danny, did u see I "liked" your demo reel?

Yeah man! Thanks. Hopefully I'll get some new stuff up soon!

Cool man, where?

Oh just to some friends who appreciate the finer things in life.

Thank you very much

It's kind of a wierd title..... "IZ-US" by Aphex Twin

Thanks Lisa :)

Thanks man:)

Thank you :)

Yes I did all the color correction in After Effects.

Thanks a lot Hugo. Yes, this was HDV. I use a Sony FX1.

Oh, I knew it! It is one hell of a camera. Personally I own a Sony DV VX2100P, but I think the FX1 is the choice if one should go HD. Very nice framing and the colours are really expressive. I saw your other work as color timer, incredible! :D

Thank you very much. Yea the camera is really sweet but there are some obvious limitations with it.

I've been doing all my color grading in Final Cut and After Effects but I'd like to get my hands on "Magic Bullet Looks."

Thanks! :)

Thank you me too! Wow...sorry for such a late reply. Yikes!

Nice...I must have done something right! :)

That's cool man I'm glad you like it. Hearing comments like this also inspire me to make more videos :)
