Music video -- fall

So this is our first attempt at a "music video". Since the seasons our changing we decided to do something on all the foliage. We originally had a U2 song that was perfect for the video since it had to do with the fall and leaves dying but it ended up not working out. We also used Scullys camera with all the new lenses to help with the colors of the leaves.





We were alittle disappointed with the foliage we got because there was a huge rain storm the night before we filmed which kind of wiped out all the remaining leaves. But we got the best that we could! The lighting and colors weren't as vibrant as we hoped with the camera. I (Liz) was filming for this video and as you can tell i'm not the best camera woman! When i used the "pro" camera i thought that the footage i was getting would show up better but it was blurry and not as bright as i hoped it would be. We had a good idea just couldn't get it on video!




This was, without doubt, the video from hell. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. The song we were going to use didn't work out; Final Cut froze on me--twice; I saved the video and went to another Mac Lab to put music to it because I had a meeting, but it didn't work (luckily the video was still saved on the North Campus Lab); it was a rainy week, and started to get cold, so shots were harder to get. But for all the problems I think it came out pretty well. I ended up using a song my old band (Cookie Monster and Friends) wrote a while back, and learned how to cut it to make it shorter but still sound ok. I thought the footage actually came out pretty well too. I tried to sync the video shots with the music, and when the music picked up I sped every video up and put them in reverse...kinda like Fall dying but than coming back to life...
