Just playing around with the software.
I clicked on a button in Final Cut Pro 10 to balance the color. It made the sky way too dark, but I like it anyway.
Shot at 30 fpm, rendered at 30 fps.
This is where I was for 7 straight hours on Sunday. I've never worked with Final Cut Pro before, but I took a videography class this semester to learn it. Not sure if the class is helping, but the 7 hours of messing around and figuring things out might be. Spring Break ended, and I instantly became one million times busier.
P.S. The @One lab in the new UNR Knowledge Center is pretty damn awesome. Mac Pros, fully loaded with any program you could ever imagine needing.

Edited in Final Cut Pro w/ Magic Bullet Looks
I took this video, or set of video clips, in June of 2009 at the LOOK3 Festival in Charlottesville. I've been wanting to splice them together and add audio for a long time now, but I have no idea how to use Final Cut Pro and the task seemed rather daunting. Today, I decided to give it a go. In the end, it took me around 4 hours to do this simple video but I'm really glad I did it.
These are my photo nerd peeps. It's funny to see who can hold a straight face for the longest period of time - some crack sooner than others. We all had a great time down in Charlottesville and I hope we can do it again in 2010.
Thanks to Jason Colston for giving me some tips over the phone. Jason is a video guru and I admire anyone who is a master of FCP. Lessons learned today:
1) I imported the video clips that were generated by my camera (.MOV files) into FCP. That was easy, however when I played the video it was choppy and not smooth as it should be. Jason said I needed to covert my files to "H.264" format. Um, how do I do that? Use "Compressor". So I found a good site that tells you how to use Compressor - it is not intuitive. Finally, after encoding my files and adding a text overlay to them, I imported them back into FCP.
2) I downloaded this song (Green Onions) from iTunes in .M4A format, however you need to covert it to .AIF format before importing it into FCP.
3) The audio in this case ran longer than the combined video clips. In order to trim the excess audio I used the "razor blade" tool.
4) I asked Jason how I could adjust the color and he said, "Use the Color app." Like the iPhone, there seems to be an app for everything. The Color app is scary though. It's got a very crude interface. I played around with it for a half hour or so and then gave up. I'll tackle that another day. There are some video effects in FCP that work OK, in fact I have a B&W version of this video if anyone is interested.
5) For some reason Flickr can't handle long videos, so I uploaded it to Vimeo too which handled it like a champ.
PS - Happy New Year!
Yeah, my Youtube Account now is forsaken from February, but fear not, this fall I will to show you some my ideas.
So, Stay Tuned on YouTube, and also on my Photo-Stream on Flickr and ShotFolder!
New things are coming...
For my Advanced DV Filmmaking class we had a short assignment, find a classic painting and replicate it. I can't imagine a better project to use as a first Flickr video..after all the whole concept of video on Flickr is a moving picture. That's basically the assignment.
So my partner, Natalie, and I selected "The Annunciation" by William Henry Tanner. Everyone else was smart enough to pick something with not much background, which meant not having to make an interior. We were not so smart, but she came through on the arches.
Nikon D90 video w/ 16mm f/2.8 Zenitar fisheye @ f/4-5.6ish
Edited in Final Cut, minor fix in Motion that we planned to rectify during the shoot. "We'll fix it in post," a phrase that is rarely worth the time.
Strobist.com info: Arriflex 300w frensel w/ barndoors quintuple gelled orange (1/2 or 1/4 orange, not sure which). Barndoors were used to create an ungelled hotspot under light on the left of the frame for more glow over there. Also, 4 foot fluorescent fixture with 3500k lamps gelled yellow and two layers of orange.

Framegrab from footage shot with the Panasonic GH2 and Sankor 16C anamorphic lens adaptor attached to a Nikkor AF 50/1.8D lens with Vid-Atlantic's VAMP Clamp. Using hacked AVC-Intra 1080p setting 'Mysteron' to desqueeze and upscale 3.55:1 aspect ratio 4K 4096x1152 footage in Final Cut Pro X. Since using a 4K timeline in FCPX, the output can be cropped and scaled to other aspect ratios and resolutions without losing the original 1080p vertical resolution. These are just the first few frames of testing with this lens combo, it's tricky to achieve focus since both lenses has to be focused in unison. This aspect ratio here is the widest, but it can be easily cropped to 2.66:1 or 2.35:1 for more regular cinema crop.

Here's my mess of an FCP system, as set up on the dining room table: FCS2 running on a Mac Pro Quad Duo 3GHz, AJA IoHD, two Apple 23" displays, LogicKeyboard FCP keyboard, Cambrige Soundworks speakers, Tek 528 scope, Tek 1420 vectorscope, Sony PVM-14M4U video monitor, Sony BVU-950 with TBC, Sony BVW-15 with DT option. FW Drives are behind the computer displays. The drives run on a Sonnet FW/USB PCIe card.
Newflash: The system is now also equipped with Avid Media Composer v6.5.4 (software) on a separate system drive.
Editing a wedding video I shot on my work's computers because I don't have my own (yet). Currently rolling in tape 2 of 3.
This is one of our editor's "workstations". He has two G5's three studio LCD's and two DVCAM decks. He is often times rolling in or out multiple tapes for multiple ministries so they gave him two computers. Let me just say that it gets hot in this corner. And the the best thing, these two G5's consume so much power for one circuit that when he scrubs through video, the lights flicker with the video and you can control fan speed with the ShuttleXpress controller.
The overconsumption of energy is an ongoing issue in a world where we heavily depend upon our limited resources. Although the issue has been acknowledged, what we as society fail to understand is the speed in which our resources are being depleted. We are constantly harvesting and consuming energy, yet the energy or power is never returned. This imbalance is what I aim to highlight through this video. I am trying to, from a state of mind perspective; transmute these elements into something safe that is not harmful to the environment. I would like to position this difficult situation in a much better light where I am utilizing confetti as the symbolism for energy and power.
Where I do the work that earns my livings.

After a month or longer watching Final Cut Pro and also tutorials i found in Vimeo, i finally understood the software. This is my first time ever video work. Im a photographer so i used Canon 5D Mark II with a 50mm 1.4 lens with an ND Filter.
Now about the stars, they are Lyon and Flo. They are my beagles, my sons, hahaha. I think in this video they show exactly how they are. Lyon is a little bit lazy and Flo is a bit more charismatic.
Hope you like it.

I'm not sure what you'd call it... stopmotion, time lapse... It's not quite video and they can't be viewed as stills but the effect puts me in mind of an old cine movie played at the wrong speed on a clapped out projector.
Little vignettes of time, snatched moments, a digital flick book if you like..
In reality, 2788 stills shot on the 50mm @ f/1.8 1600 ISO in high speed burst mode, Large JPEG (just filling an 8GB Card!!). Combined as an image sequence in Quicktime and cut in Final Cut Pro.
Music is Jynweythek Ylow by Aphex Twin.
Please wait for it to finish streaming before watching to prevent yukky buffering...
Below are a few of the still images...
Here on the red couch, we have spent many hours with clients tweaking finessing and obsessing over little bits of video before its released into the wild. Many laughs, curses and good memories occur here.
When the agency boys and girls are here waiting for clients to return from their dinner and check their emails, producers and art directors pass out here.

Here is a behind the scenes picture of an episode of "I'm a soldier". An online web series consisting of 12 episodes showcasing the lives and personalities of soldiers in the Singapore Armed Forces.
In this episode we covered the job of a dedicated crew chief.
While filming, somebody misplaced a lens cap and the planes were grounded until the lens cap is accounted for. Yes the poor pilots were sitting on the tarmac without air-conditioning.
So if ever in a war, pepper the enemy's airbase with lens caps. It will get sucked into the air intakes of your enemy's jets and render them ineffective.
Back three centuries ago (okay, more like five years ago), Final Cut Pro was the go-to app for digital video editing. It was also pretty cheap ($999) compared to Avid Media Composer ($7500), especially if you bought the Academic version ($500).
You could actually buy it off the shelf from the university library (which is what I did) and have it up and running within a hour in your dorm room, rather than waiting to get in the queue at the university Avid lab.
Since those days, Final Cut Pro has pretty much stayed at the same price, but a great thing has happened over time. Apple kept adding free apps to the mix: Cinema Tools, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Color, DVD Studio Pro and Compressor. In four years, Final Cut Pro turned into Final Cut Studio.
With the addition of Cinema Tools, Final Cut Pro has grown into a general purpose film editor, while retaining its digital roots. Cinema Tools allowed for a method of encoding film into a workable digital master, while Color allowed for in depth color correction, the lack of which was one of the early drawbacks to Final Cut Pro when compared with Avid Media Composer.
Of course, Avid Pro Tools is still the industry leader with sound design and editing, although Logic and to a lessor degree, Soundtrack Pro, have been making aggressive inroads. In addition, Final Cut Server, while a separate product (also $999) has also made inroads, providing a great solution for organizations with large editing databases and a great alternative for Avid's Unity/Interplay system.
Final Cut is no longer a prosumer level app to be used by film school students shooting cheapy video projects on university campuses. It has now been used in features films such as Cold Mountain, The Ring, and more recently, 300, No Country for Old Men, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Where the Wild Things Are.
Of course, there will always be a segment of the Hollywood community that clings to Avid, just because that is what they trained on, and there are good reasons to be suspicious of Apple as a single vendor.
Apple's sudden abandonment of the great compositing tool, Shake, comes to mind. Also, Apple's refusal to jump on the Blu-Ray bandwagon and its abandonment of Firewire in some MacBook models, has given the industry some cause for unease.
Of course, as a Mac user, Final Cut Studio is without parallel when it comes to showcasing quality software on the Mac platform.
And for the Prosumers, there is always the cheap alternative known as Final Cut Express (for a mere $199 at the time of this post).

It is not so easy to get inside here, simply because this things cost million of dollars. Actually before I fall in love with photography, I love film production, in fact I've been working as a trainee video editor at one of Malaysia biggest production house but now it's history ( The Production House No Longer Exist ). I've always dreaming to work with this things but I end up being a photographer, I was so jealous when one of the staff there said to me that "she" end up here ( in this Film Production ) by "Accident". Some people are so lucky don't you think so?
