Ooh, yeah, good thoughts sfoster! That's a great video for reference too. I'll see if I can incorporate some of these ideas. Probably some of the in-out camera movements and colors I could do in post. I'm shooting this all on an iPhone, but I do have the 16 w the three lenses; one of them...

hah, sure :) Definitely a hack job IMO, but appreciate that all the same.

whoops! just set to unlised, thx

Hi all, I'm back again with another music vid for my band, looking for any feedback. Specifically about stuff I might not be tuned into: color, etc (I'm a musician, and at absolute best, a complete hack filmmaker.) Be kind, I barely know my way around FCPX... horizontal: veritcal...

Yeah, i hear that. Just want to do the best I can!

Thanks all I've feathered the edges of the masks, and messed with another setting in the mask called "falloff," which seems related. Have gotten it about as good as I'm able; although I might still go in an super fine tune the edge points of the masks to improve it further. It generally...

Thanks, I'll play with that. may also want to adjust the mask edges I guess. I'm in fcpx, and there are settings for feathering and falloff of all the masks I have applied to the screens.

Thanks I'll see if I can check it out - that pic looks great 🙃 I actually tied to record the oscilloscope trace IRL, with the other TVs stacked up like that, but it's old display wasn't super bright, so it ended up being easier to record it separately in a dark room where I could bump up my ISO...

Hi all, I am working on a simple music video for my band. It's a bunch of old TVs stacked up, and clips of the individual band members playing on the various screens. One of the screens is an oscilloscope and the singer isn't present in the vid, but the oscilloscope trace of her voice is...

relalized I never followed up here. we did get her to start the vid:

Yeah, too late for any more drum shots. My wife (the writer/singer) and I actually are gonna try and get our 6yo daughter to agree to "paint" the first cartoon on a wall, and have it come to life, like indietalk suggested. Good catch on the clapping - it's a little awkward to line up but I'll...

Gotcha - Thanks Nate! :-) Yeah most were actually with my cheapo green screen, but actually, the scene removal mask in FCP works better than the green screen mask, maybe because of my small room setup and poor lighting.

Oooh that wold be super cool!

Ugh, I know 🤦‍♂️ I didn't notice it till after I'd imported all those shots. I had a ND filter onl my lens, but somehow some dust got *underneath* it and parked itself on the actual lens glass itself.

Thanks guys! (Also, nice to see you both again. 🙃) I'm thinking I might try to stabilize some of the shakiest handheld shots, but it's such a pain with this motion tracker plugin; I basically have to export the clip and re-import a printed version into FCP, since there's no way in FCP to truly...

I'm just a humble musician, and know just enough about working with video to be dangerous. That being said, I created this little music video for a song my band has coming out next Friday. As the release is a week and a half away, I would love to hear constructive criticism! (That I can...

Thanks Nate! And the IG link for mlesemann: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CuHeqb6tg3y/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I actually didn't do the mix on this. I try not to mix my own music, as I think by the time I'm done with the production, I just have zero objectivity left haha. I have a guy in the UK who is fantastic (and gives me a great rate!) but TBH I'm not sure what his signal chain is. However, I do...

nice job! I'm not a video guy, but looks cool to me :)

Thanks for the kind words Nate. It's a song we wrote and worked hard on, glad you enjoyed it. I'll probably do a production walkthrough video at some point. Not really something for our target demographic, but fun for the nerdy producer ppl out there. I did one for our last release...
