Normally, I wouldn't post a whole announcement for this, but I thought it was worth mentioning - the VFG has gone multimedia here! Isn't that exciting? (nod your head yes now...) I've added a music video I did a couple of years ago.

You'll see the link near the top of the thread - may take a minute to load, but it's fun if you don't mind waiting a sec. Enjoy!

It's awesome, and if you don't see the movie but hear the sound - you need to upgrade your Quicktime on your PC.

It's well worth the wait!

Mel did you edit this film together the old fashioned way? Like not with software that makes it all easy? I think the picture quality is really good compared to say digital cameras. (Or at least ones I've played with).

Thanks, Deb!

I edited this on Final Cut Pro. Actually, it's funny, I first learned to edit on 16mm film, and that was *much* easier than Final Cut! Final Cut is now the industry standard, but I almost had to go back and get another degree just to learn all the ins and outs of the software, LOL! So I wouldn't say that the software makes it easier - just a lot cheaper to do effects (like the little camera-flash transitions between the runway shots), and there aren't little pieces of film laying all around the room.

My camera is what is called a Prosumer camera - up until 7 or 8 years ago, to get broadcast quality video, you had to invest in a $30,000 - $40,000 camera. Now, Sony and Canon make affordable cameras that can produce broadcast quality video. They're more expensive than your average consumer camera, but a fraction of the cost of Betacam SP, the industry standard. Other than that, a Mac with Final Cut Pro was all I needed!

10 years ago, the technology I currently have would have cost over $100,000. Now, it's available to anyone for $6,000 - $7,000. Not bad, eh?

Wow, that was a ramble! More than you ever wanted to know, I'm sure!

Aw, man, Gail, I'm sorry!

One of these days I'll troubleshoot this and find a solution to this - it might not be during this workshop, but I promise, I'll try!

Mel my husband is doing a multimedia course this year, and they did some video editing... but it was with a digital camera. Geez I forget the name of the software now... but it only runs on Windows XP. Oh! Premiere Pro. And they're learning Maya as well - I think Monsters Inc was made using Maya.

Pretty interesting what you can do these days, he made a video of me riding just before Christmas.
