Gymkhana Four
First blog for a while. This week post is about rally driver and DC Shoes joint owner Ken Block's new rally video: "GYMKHANA FOUR; THE HOLLYWOOD MEGAMERCIAL" (video below).
DC SHOES: KEN BLOCK'S GYMKHANA FOUR; THE HOLLYWOOD MEGAMERCIAL
What I think about it. I personally loved it (almost 5,000,000 hits on YouTube too so far), the best Gymkhana film Ken Block has produced yet. I always likes the skill in a gymkhana films, despite the editing in the footage, it still edited very well. Anyway still a great video well done Ken Block for creating it. I wonder what Gymkhnan Five will be like? Oh well wait until next year then. 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
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.

That is all. Bye.

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].

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.

Blog no 11 of FMP Moving Images Project
Hi again, new post. So here is the continuation of the blog from last time.
1/5/11
Done my final storyboards for what I want to do in Final cut pro.
3/5/11
After this I went back to re-record the audio from early on. After I record the audio, I went into Adobe Soundbooth to re-touch the audio. Then saved it as a new AIFF file. Then placed it back into Final Cut.
5/5/11
Re-record the footage at the South Bank, also adding a few new scenes, such as skater smoking a cigarette with his skateboard. Uploaded the new footage into Final Cut. After I done this I re-touch some of the footage, such as size and angle, then placed onto the timeline.
9/5/11
Done more editing in Final Cut today, done nearly 30 seconds where will be going to fit in, at the start of the film. I've added a 15 second music track at the start as-well. The audio track I'm using is called 'Daft Punk, Da Funk (1997)'.
End of blog for now. New post soon. Bye

Done my final storyboards for what I want to do in Final cut pro.
3/5/11
Been focusing on Final Cut adding more footage onto the time line. Got some early feedback, they mention the constancy of the shots and the rhyme of the video so far.
I have also, done a script for the audio for tomorrow. I have wrote this myself ready to record for tomorrow.
4/5/11
Done a rough voice recording Today, I did this by recording this in a basic recording studio inside are department.
I used a voice editing programme to record the voices on a program called Audacity. Very Simple program to use in my opinion, press the record button when the recordings are ready to record their voices. Press the record button again to finish the recordings. Then save then export as a WAV or AIFF file to drag into Final Cut.
Then in Final Cut, place the audio file into the timeline, crop the audio in the right places in were audio needs to be place. Got some feedback from this, they say I need to be more editing to be done to match with the rhyme of the audio. Which I agree with. Also, they said I may need to re-film some shots around the South Bank (video below, Big Ben for example where I need to improve). So I am re-filming at the South Bank tomorrow.

Blog no 10 of FMP Moving Images Project
Hi again, new post. So here is the continuation of the blog from last time.
22/4/11
I've been looking for some videos with skateboarding with either narrative or a poem on the internet today. I've looked at this video with skateboarding and poetry. Felt that the poem is very passionate about skateboarding, overall I felt the poem was cheesy right at the end of the video which the change of pace of the music (see video below). Shot wise, I felt they change the camera shots flows well to the next shot.
Video below is about a real story. A documentary that focused on the typical incorrect stereotype of skateboarding and how skateboarding is looked on in society. I felt it worked well as a documentary. I felt the video flows well with different shots throughout. What I didn't like was how long the film was (10 minutes). Felt it could have been shorter, which could have worked better.
What I can take from these videos. Is to make a two minute long story about skateboarding at the South Bank, rather than stick a music track what I what was originally wanted to do. Which the music track might not work in pace I wanted to work with the video. Also, I want to focusing on positively on skateboarding at the South Bank.
26/4/11
I have started on Post-Production process of my video. I have been shorting out what footage I will put into my Video in Final Cut. I cropped the footage that I wanted and placing onto the timeline.
I have decided what will my intro scene, I've added a fade in into footage that will start my video with. I've done this by going into viewer window in motion side bar, gone into opacity, reducing the opacity in timeline by adding a keyframe.
27/4/11
Been continuing in Post-production adding more footage into the timeline in Final Cut. I have export the footage what I wanted as a Quicktime file by going into export - QuickTime Movie. Also, reviewing where my footage will go into order for my Video.
So, therefore I can add in a Scoreboard into which order I wanted in this weekend.
