I’ve been playing with the video clips we shot yesterday; rearranging the timeline, inserting a couple of bits, removing some bobs.
When I was done with that I went off and found a few top musical intros which I edited in to one piece of audio.
Then I combined the newly edited audio in to the new video segment, and spent some time faffing about; trimming this, expanding that, rearranging the other.
And then I uploaded This Reality Podcast video prototype #1 to the show’s YouTube channel, but it’s also embedded below.
I need to say that there was no script or direction.
We just set up the camera in front of a rock that was put on its end by a bunch of Ancient Britons, 4,500-years ago, and then we looned about, much to the amusement of many curious onlookers.
We have no shame, obv.
I have learnt that before we make video prototype #2, we need to have a script, or at least a list of activities.
Also, after we have filmed prototype #2, I will match the edited audio to the edited video, something which I haven’t done with prototype #1.
But I am having loads of fun with this project!
Really enjoyed the video, especially Soph and her umbrella. Good you both wore your Wellies… looks a bit damp.
Love it, love it, love it! Absolutely brilliant you pair of mentalists! I agree with Sie…. Soph’s dancing with the umbrella is masterful… she is like a little Geisha in white wellies!
Can’t help but think the Benny Hill music would have been more apt for some of those scenes! 😉
S.Le: Very wet! There was still snow on the high ground.
Annie: Thanks. Geisha in white wellies? That could develop in to a tag!
Masher: I briefly considered it, but the Benny Hill theme is 1m 9s and that would have meant too much trimming. And also, not what the true aim was. Could have been fun to knock up a very brief version though.
Ha!
Any shouts of Oi, mental! before the ruffians ran off sniggering, or did you get away scot free?
There were some ‘looks’ but apart from that we got away with it.
Very Pythonesque, with no worries about the 16 tonne weight or “Colonel” Graham Chapman ordering it stopped because “It’s just too silly.”
Well, maybe minor worries. ;o}
