Word is too complicated for me. I have no need for it. I am forgetting alllll about it.

Instead now I am trying to figure out (again) how they did the Kanye West "Thru the Wire" vid - check it out here (go to video and only try it if you have broadband):

Also - while there, please vote for the Chris Milk version of "Jesus Walks" cause the church version is totally winning and while there are moments of the Chris Milk version that puzzle, he does have a recurring theme and klansman redemption. Hell, vote for the one you like best.

I stepped in poo at the dog park. Ew. I am going to the landromat. After I change shoes. EWWWWW

how they did the Kanye West "Thru the Wire" vid

I think you could do this by having one very large still picture of the board, use masks to layer the moving footage into the polaroid frames and then swoop and zoom around the whole shebang using a virtual camera. I think. At least that'd be a place to start trying to re-create it.

I was thinking - just make a real live mock up of a board (or something similar) and then filming around it - then vidding that footage and using masks to fill in the polaroids.

But the large image would be better.

But the large image would be better.

More control that way. With a virtual camera on the still, you could change it up at will instead of having to film all over again if the camera motion or angle didn't look right. Put it in 3D space, throw in some virtual lighting, and you could tilt the "board" while moving the camera to get some really cool perspective too.

You are planning on doing this for a vid, yes? Because the very thought of what you could do with such a thing gives me tinglies.

Yes - "Crossroads" by Bone Thugs N Harmony - it is snapshots into AtS.

Now - would I operate the virtual camera in Premiere? I wouldn't would I? Because that would shrink the size down too much and I would lose quality - it would have to be done in AE. Am I right?

[just-eunice.livejournal.com]

Yup, AE would definitely be the way to go with this. But, the good news is that I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that difficult. Once you had all the pieces in place I'm thinking it might even be fun.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Fun. Sure.

Hey - when I have something in the audio line in AE, I should be able to actually hear it? Right? Cause I should probably confess - I can't. What I have done in the past is count out what I need and just used the inexact timing and then adjusted the final version in premiere. For this - I don't think that will work.
