Gymkhana Five, #Gym5

Last year I did a post on Gymkhana Four. So today, DC shoes and Ken Block bring out the new Gymkhana video onto YouTube called: ''GYMKHANA FIVE: ULTIMATE URBAN PLAYGROUND; SAN FRANCISCO" (video below).

It was shot on the streets of San Francisco, California, USA. #GYM5 features a focus on 'fast, raw and precise driving action'. Filmed over four days, were Ken Block used San Francisco as a personal gymkhana playground to film around. Which includes a little cameo from Travis Pastrana, on his dirt-bike. Enjoy the video below.

What I think about it. I personally loved it (almost 1,000,000 hits on YouTube too so far within a day), better than Gymkhana Four, the best Gymkhana film Ken Block has produced yet. I enjoyed the used of Ken Block hooning around San Francisco. I always likes the skills set in a gymkhana, despite the editing in the footage, and it still edited so well. I enjoyed the aerial shots above as-well, the multiple use of Go-Pro cameras' inside and outside on the Ford Fiesta HFHV, which produces 650 bhp. Also, I enjoy the Matrix style of filming in some shots. Anyway still a great video well done Ken Block for creating it. Gymkhana Six next year will be a touch challenge to created in my opinion.

End of Blog for now, new post soon. That is all. Bye.

12th and last blog of FMP Moving Images Project

Hi again, final post of the final major project. So here is the conclusion and final version of the video for the blog.


10/5/11

Toady, I've been still continuing with the editing in Final Cut. I've done nearly 90 seconds. Nearly finished need to finish the final scenes. Feedback so far I need to add a scene where it can establish the South Bank. Also remove a scene, because I've repeated the scene already.

I've also blended the audio with each over, so it flows better into each scene. I've done this by going into the audio layer, extend the audio piece in the layer with the next audio piece in that layer , highlight both of them press apple + alt + T to create this[1].

Then I reduced the audio sound (background noise such as skateboarding sound) by highlighting the audio timeline, then going into the viewer screen, then in motion sidebar reduce the Dbs to, so the voice-over is clear to listen to the viewer.






11/5/11

I have complete all the editing today bringing the last few scenes into the main timeline.

Got some feedback. Two things I need to improve on this adding credits to the film. And removing the soundtrack for two reasons, one it didn't need it from a professional point of opinion and secondly copyright reasons. So therefore I will remove the Daft Punk soundtrack and add credits.



13/5/11

Today I've added credits into my film. Also, remove the Daft Punk soundtrack at the start. After I done this I've exported the film file by export - Using QuickTime Conversion. Exported as a H264 compressor.


After I exported the file, uploaded onto Vimeo and Facebook to get some feedback.




That is all. Bye.
