SCRIPT/NOTES:
--------------------------
From Sound Design, Sound Mixing to Color Correction, Color Grading to Visual FX, Special FX and just general shot selection - the most difficult part of Creating is COMPLETING your project.
With infinite options in Post-Production, if it weren’t for the assistance of a Deadline, and the resources I had such as Musicbed, pushing me towards the finish line, the project (could take FOREVER / Never Complete).
Today, we will discuss MY (subjective) editing process - and take a look inside of this scattered brain, with hopes to lead you to a more successful edit session, to learn about my creative process or simply to see how I built something cool. You do not need to be an editor to enjoy this!
Let’s break down 2 months of editing into 15 minutes.
------- ------- -------
SOUND
------- ------- -------
SOUND DESIGN + EFFECTS IN FILMMAKING
They are the MOST important for the Structure of your video/film.
Sound Mixing vs Sound Design
EMOTION
I know that I have the right song when 1 of 2 things happens:
A. I get goosebumps / feel my senses come alive
B. I feel something - like I’m about to cry, or I'm Empowered and motivated
TRANSITIONING MUSIC / SOUND EFFECTS
Find songs that match similar beats per minute
Find the DROP OFF POINT
SOUND DESIGN to cover up song transitions!
FIND KEY MOMENTS
Dead spaces in music/songs = great opportunity for Sound Effects
------- ------- ------- -------
VISUAL FX
------- ------- ------- -------
A lot of this comes down to pre-production (as seen in previous BTS)
MAKE SURE that you have the right shots, framing, emotion, lighting!
KYLE
The one who deserves the spotlight for the CGI work here
BREAKDOWN:
PROP SELECTION
Found a few different CGI Models
WRAITH VS DRONES
ENDING (COLIN)
Would have required us to REBUILD the entire city in CGI, INSTEAD, we did
Photoshop layers + Masks
VISUAL/PRACTICAL VS SPECIAL
The light that was flickering vs Drones
------- ------- ------- -------
COLOUR
------- ------- ------- -------
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
COLOUR CORRECTION = BALANCING / NORMALIZING (SINGLE CLIP)
COLOUR GRADING = MOST COMMONLY KNOWN / ADDING STYLE
TONES
Dark, Moody, RED → Brand colours
All black outfits to match the Stealth
Match Colours with VECTORSCOPE
Lots of Tube Lights and Colour Nods to our favourite movies
Take screenshots from fav movies
MASK Lighting around Brand Assets (Hat)
