Making a Video


Car Show - Spring Break Nationals 2007, Daytona Beach Florida - Amazing videos are here

I would have to say that making these videos is fun, but it requires some real patience.

I say fun because there is always a favorable outcome, and that is exactly what I want when it comes to stuff like this. It's fun to see your comments that have been posted and its fun to read the funny remarks. I guess you could even say its fun when people talk bad about your video and say that it sucks or its a waste of time to watch, either way.

The Patience comes in when you have to put the video together. Generally the video never goes as planned or you finished it and then you realized that you spelled something wrong or you have repeats. Also, sometimes when you put it together the video ends up off beat and that makes for one ugly looking movie.

When the Video doesn't go as planned I usually take a deep breath and barrell into it again, while others might give up and just leave it the way it is. What makes producing a video so difficult is that you have to see it from start to finish before you start. I can honestly say that I am not very good at that, but I get the job done every once in a while with a few of my compilations.

Basically I prefer to start with the Music the make the video go with the music, but that isn't really a way of directing thats just a way of editing the video. I think I do a pretty good job of putting the movie together with the beat of the music... But then again the beat can get so fast sometimes that it is next to impossible to match with it. As and example you should watch the video below, watch how in the beginning I try to follow the beat with the Red car but it just gets a little messed up. I urge someone to actually do a better job then this, as with Windows Movie Maker it is next to impossible.

With that said I am thinking of getting another video production software maybe Adobe Aftereffects or something along that line, but I'm not quite sure. I downloaded a trial once for Sony Vegas and it wouldn't work for my Application, But I'm going to save all this for another post.

Watch my Video Above, Click the Link Just under the Video to go Rate it so that I will be Extatic. ... The Video Below is the First Edit, Not exactly what I wanted but it looks alright.
