Standby... Rolling... Action!!!

I was working on my video editing these few days and slept quite late. Theres a lot to be done then expected... it is certainly pressurizing me as the dateline is in 1 and a half weeks time. However, i did find challenging and interesting working on this project. The video will not be perfect but hopefully my 'customers' do not mind some small glitches and cheesy effects.

The video has 3 parts, each with his own individual story and spoof. Each lasted 15 to 20 minutes. Yup, that means a total of around 1 hour including credits, not to forget the deleted scenes. I haven't got the time to realized that it was so long! Guess I will have to work extra OT on this one before the dateline. Thank God my boss has gone vacation and I can go back early everyday.

In the mean time I was looking for some sound effect and video clips to include it into the videos. It took me some time to do so due to slow internet connection speed. I even have to rip some effects from my dvd collections.

The MTV is one of the challenging part. I have to filter off the original soundtrack, replace the recorded sound from one of the actors, then match up with the lips.

Another challenging part is to add background effects by removing the green backgrounds behind it while retaining the actors, like what Hollywood used to do now. This is the first time I have ever done this. The effect is cheesy but by adding some lightings and glows it will look pretty awesome.

Since we wont be re-shooting anymore, imagination and creativity will have to play an important role. Its just amazing how much this software can offer, and I hope it can push my editing skills to the limit, or shall I say, pushing the software to it's limit.

It reminds me of what I did 3 years ago in Sheffield. It brings out memory of the good old days. I thank God for this opportunity and I look forward to make another church video someday.
