A 1 minute post apocalyptic movie by Jordan Tagliavia aka Nur. Requires Quicktime 5.. Shooted with an Hi8. Mixed in After Effects. Tell me what you think.

Very well done, Nur! The composition as a whole has been pulled off quite professionally, I recognized a number of familiar techniques used in there. You seem to know what youre doing with your material. The dissonant synchchronization of sound and picture has been smoothly achieved - you should pat yourself on the back for this one

That's awesome man it looked like you shot it with an expensive camera than a hi-8. how did you capture that video? i have a hi-8 and want to do something like that too, thanks....

Well this could be interesting. As you see, one of the original footags has the worst quality you can prehetend.



Shot with an Hi8 and acquired with a standard card. Work with this kind of footage is a challenge that gives you new creative possibilities. And in facts, creativity is what that video demonstrates. I spent much time on first manipulating the levels and the curves of the footage, obtaing this:



This is what happened at the end after my studio of the color.



I tryed to experiment with other decay effects, like the noise, but i always used basic filters. One good solution to trick the bad quality of the video was to duplicate the corrected footage, blur it a li'l, and then reducing the opacity of it, giving a glossy effect to the overall result.

If i want to export in on tape, i'ld add a layer of halftone pattern:



Since it tricks even more. That wasn't necessary on the web exported video and i didn't want that pattern as elemnt of the composition. Hope that interested you .
