Will do mlesemann! (and thx in advance 🙏)

Nate, it looks great! We both love it. Dreamy, semi-realistic, semi-AI, and semi-anime, which all fit the song really well. We'll of course credit you wherever it's used; we will have to find you on IG/etc.) (The song drops on Friday, 6/30, so we'll keep our link private till then, but...

Sounds great, thank you so much Nick! I’ll reply to you with a link to the clips when I get home in a couple hours. They’re both pretty basic, with the subjects lit and the background very dark.

Haha sure Nate, we’re down for that, and those terms are fine - If you want to take it offline, our email is merlotembargo@gmail.com. We do have a couple shots of our singer singing through the song, and myself playing guitar through it, that match the music, if you’re interested in using...

ok, think I'm going to forestall the real animation for the time being, at least for the next video. I may hire it out for the future, and use some stock animations for now. I did chat with the person that animated the video I linked to above, and as we all suspected it's not cheap, being hand...

Thanks guys. I've used some purchased effects to do similar drawn lines to the ones in the bruno mars vid in the past, they worked pretty well, and not too bad of an effort on my part, since I didn't have to hand draw them. As far as the light goes, you're saying basically tweak it frame by...

Hi all - newbie video guy here. I'm a musician trying to make content and music vids for my band on the cheap. I'm proficient "enough" in fcpx, but I often struggle because I don't use it frequently enough to remember all the little tricks I learned the last time I used it. Have never used...

Thanks! I've got my lights hanging from the ceiling already, but I can definitely get them higher, like right up against it. I can see how that would make the geometry easier... Can try and get them closer to the sides for the same reason!

Thanks all! I'll start experimenting with some cardboard, if nothing else!

Hi guys, I'm not very experienced in video things... I'm a musician who shoots his own videos (most of the time). Since covid we've been doing live stream shows from our small home studio, and I'd like to improve the looks slightly. Have done a few different lighting schemes, but in general...

Did a test recording w .625 ratio slowed down version of the song, sped up the video that was recorded to this version and after cutting to 15 FPS and playing that back at 24, the sped up video synced tested with the slowest down audio synced up perfectly to the original track. So I think I’m...

Thx for the warning! I’ve done something similar before, though, but recording faster and slowing down the footage, in that case from 30 to 24. Worked great, but this will be an entire ~3 minute song done in one take so the ratio has to be precise. I think it’s exactly 1.6 though (from 15fps up...

yeah that was my idea. Shooting in 30fps with normal action, then speeding up by 1.6x to get the fast motion in silent films. I wasn't plan on doing anything unusual with the camera other than picking an appropriate frame rate and shutter angle. I think the right on is going to be 30fps and...

This charlie chaplain film isn't far off. I might prefer *slightly* faster/awkward motion, but it's about as close as i can find in ten minutes of searching youtube. :-D Unfortunately my DLSR only shoots in 24, 30 or 60fps; no option to shoot directly in 12 or 15 or whatever. I guess I...

Hah, love that song and the police, but have never seen the video for it. I did something like that with another video myself, but only just slowing down an 30fps footage to play back at 24, so it was a little more subtle than the wrapped around your finger vid. BTW, getting the audio right...

Hi all - Thinking about doing a music video for my band that looks like a silent film era style. The film effects and grain are easy enough to do anywhere, but I'm wondering how much i would need to speed the film to get that look. We are planning on slowing down the song and performing it...

Cool, thanks guys I’ll have to do some experimenting- this is the first I’ve heard about the rotoscope, but I’ll do some learnin!

This is a pretty cool music video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr9GiAECG1A It's inspired me to explore some possibilities of doing something akin to this with my own music.* How would one go about this? I've edited a handful of videos together before in FCPX, but have no experience...

Not necessarily married to motion/FCPX vs adobe, other than the fact I'd like to use the tools I've already purchased rather than learn new ones, haha! If there are things that AE can do that I need that motion can't, though, i'm also not averse to using AE though. Imagine the price of entry...
