Good one. It was SUPPOSED to be a yellow video of random dogs silly.

NO! Go away!!! Just kidding All editors do the same thing, what does it matter which one you use? It's not going to make your video any better if you prefer one over the other.

Pete1234... I've used both and can say they are both great. If you say Premiere is a 'carbon copy' of Final Cut, then would Final Cut be a 'carbon copy' of Premiere Pro? If A=B, then B=A. Anyways... It's not what editor you use, it's how you use it. I bet someone could make a better movie in Windows...

Hey thanks for the link.... they have some fun tutorials, actually pretty enjoyable to watch.

Thanks

I've also added a few newer ones also, if you guys want to check them out. For instance, there is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZZyHY_kofw Which is mainly a special effects project for school. (By the way, that weird crackling noise that you hear in this movie every once in a while is fr...

Hey. I was trying to get a shallow depth of field look in this commercial. The commercial itself is pretty stupid (it makes fun of the company 'Asics') but this commercial was just a cinematography test that I made a while back. I was also testing out a new way of using a homemade steadicam. http://...

I have been studying cinematography for a few years and my favorite books are as follows: (If you are interested in cinematography, these are a MUST. DON'T go without them) 1. Cinematography (Third Edition) by Kris Malkiewicz ... ( I just read this, and it is amazing for FILM work (ie, 16mm and 35mm...

It's not just more yellow. The saturation and contrast were adjusted, then the hue was adjusted (to make it yellowish) and finally the curves to crush the blacks. This was just a yellow-biased test... Every film tends to have a color bias to it (ie, The Matrix = green/blue, etcetera) so I went for a...

Okay, here is the before and after.

Haha! Okay, I'll do a before and after. Thanks for the advice.

Hey guys. Here are some simple color correction tests that I did inside of Premiere Pro.

Of course the compression is all messed up from YouTube but it's still bearable.

Enjoy!

Hey guys, I made a really simple, yet clean logo for myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CYl-qpzwqw If you look closely, you'll see a little squiggly line in the background.. (just making sure you don't miss it :) ) You guys have any suggestions on how to make it more visually appealing? Thanks,...

Nevermind guys... I have decided on a title.

Thanks anyways,

Colin

Hey guys, unfortunately I didn't have my actor for the experimental film idea, so I'll have to do that some other time. Although, I am shooting another film instead, tomorrow. I REALLY NEED HELP COMING UP WITH A TITLE! Please.. So the story goes: A business owner's son is taken hostage for a $2 mill...

That's a good idea... hmm... maybe something that has a little more of an 'experimental' feel to it.. (that might've made no sense whatsoever) something short, but that reflects the overal mood of the film, something unordinary...

Anyone else?? Thanks again for all who responded.

Colin

Wow.. thanks guys.. You're great help! Yea, I think I'll make the character 40. Good idea!

Anyways, thanks again everyone... You guys are awesome!

Cheers,

How do you make someone (18-19 years old) look like he's a scruffy, 30 year-old father? I want him to look rough, and ragged (he drink lot's of alcohol and has a bad history behind him, but he's trying to turn his life around.) Anyone have ANY tips? Any little makeup/ clothing tips? (Or any other ti...
