So, I was resting in bed the other night pondering ways to be more creative in my video productions. I like to take part in different online contest for movie editing. The current contest wanted to see some real creativity. More often than not people put video clips from tv series together with music. This is where I started at as well. I would try to combine the feel and flow of the clips I used in my movie to the certain music I had selected. Sometimes it would be fast and kind of upbeat , and sometimes it would be slower and more melodic and dramatic.
So as I said, I was sitting in bed looking up at my custom banners, custom posters, and my car decals on my walls that I often do for inspiration and thought about different editing techniques. How it would be a very interesting idea to cut out all the way around the image digital image with my editing program, frame by frame. This is called masking, and adds a lot of flavoring to any video you do. Its very time intensive than removing the colors with a chroma keyer, but the effect can be much cleaner. One thing I would say that I didn’t expect when I first started editing movies is how much time it can take to edit a video , and do a good job with it. I have obviously improved and cleaned up my editing process , it’s still going to take a while.
In general the aact of masking an image can take a long time , haha. But I’m really looking forward to it, and I think that by masking I could really have a good chance in the upcoming contest. I’m excited, and high spirited about this new technique. Let us hope for the best! Till next time!
