Here is a video I did for... thats right... another contest! This one is for Heinz. Check it out.

It was shot on 2 Panasonic HVX200s at 720p/24. It was edited on an iMac using Final Cut Pro 6. The motion tracking was done using After Effects CS3. The narration/music was done in Soundtrack Pro.

The official video is over at youtube.com/chriscrutch but its always better to see it in HD.

The most interesting thing about this project is that it was all done in one night (albeit one looong night), by one man. Me. Not to, you know, brag or anything... but it was a busy night wearing the hats of Producer/director/DP/lights/editing/CG/scoring etc etc. From concept to near completion in a night. (and who says I need sleep?!?)

it was fun. i had a good time.

    Dude! I can't believe you did that in one night. Maybe there's actually something to this whole "democratization of filmmaking" HD thing.

    That was better than 90% of the commercials I see on TV in Canada.

    3 x P2 Cards, all 16GB. I only own one, and borrowed the 2. I would suggest looking into a FireStore drive to mount to the side or back of the HVX. It will definitely save you money over buying the equivalent GBs worth of P2 cards. I had one of those for this shoot, but it was a really time cramped shoot, and I would have really needed one for each camera. A FireStore is 100 times faster and easier when its time to ingest all that HD, and thats another perk of it.

    How can you motion track so accurately? Please get back to me if you have any advice or websites I could check out. Thanks

    Well michael. I used after effects, and though it has a motion tracker built in, and this was HD footage, so plenty of color info to work with... I still had to go and track manually. SO i just went frame by frame. It was all done in one night, but it was very long. Sometimes I would cheat and go 4 or 5 frames at a time, but shh, dont tell anyone!

    is a really good place for stuff like this in general. I think they've got a basic tutorial on motion tracking somewhere down the line on this page. Andrew Kramer does good stuff. Hope that helps
