My first video edit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehJRrzVu7ow

I made this a week or so back. tell me how you like it. and that is me in the video.. I'm a guy wit a girls name i know...

 

A bit short but for a first attempt not bad

 

It's acutally nice.
I am talking in the point of view of a person who doesn't edit videos professionally, so my opinion only couts that much..

Good job. Maybe a little too short as said above..

 

What software and how did you do that? its awesome..

 

Yeah that's what I am wondering.

 

its pretty short

 

adobe after effects, you get a video camera on a tripod, then layer all the shots, then mask out certain areas to make it show the bottom layer... if that makes sense

 

Your first attempt is pretty darn good!

 

next time slap yourself in the head

nice first try for sure! I am familiar with layers in PS but never tried it in video...not even sure how I would go about it to be honest!

I use Vegas Video

 

thanks for the great replies, i'll try to make one of me slapping myself but it would be hard. I actually was about 3/4 done with one where i handed myself a pop but I couldn't get rid of the pop can after i handed it off... it's confusing..

 

yeah, I think it would be hard to do the interaction...lots of practice and or takes to get it just right.
all the more amazing to me is how they do it in the movies!

 

yeah i think they have to go frame by frame in certain films to make sure it looks right.. and for me there are about 30 frames per second... that would take forever.

 

that's why it takes like 21 people to edit a movie...or something like that
I'm always amazed at th number of people who work on any given movie!
