one more final post






i guess i lied, that wasnt my last post, and this one is, i am writing about the class project, sports and light, i guess i have a pretty good perspective since i was the first one to log and capture it and was the last to see it on its way to the student screening. it took quite a journey and honestly i was pretty pleased with the results. i think that it had a unique approach, in that it hit on the topic of sports i guess because of the footage. the footage had some gymnastics and track and field events, and the heart beats. i really like how the color was added in final cut. it is pretty cool when you can color correct b and w film stock and get such rich hues, and you dont have to get messy toner and dyes on your hands and clothes. the sound was unique and had even some more memorable sports quotes from movies and diagetic sound from the archive.org. my final contribution was the addition of some stadium noise and the rearrangement of some parts of the sound. i wanted the entire soundtrack to have a continous energy throughout and the front end of the soundtrack was missing some stuff and the ending needed some stress points to finish the film strong. the picture stayed pretty much the same because i saw no need to change much. it was a pretty neat experience tho to be at the beginning of a project and not see the middle but see it after it was finished and i just post produced it and the results were satisfying to see.
