Fuckin' fantastic. Coincidently, I just ordered the DVD this morning [finally] after downloading, and watching, an .avi of it a few weeks ago.

Really gorgeous and it worked amazingly well.

This was lovely Loki. I normally don't watch vids other than SPN, but Hayley rec'd it, so I watched it. So glad I did! :) I watch to watch this film now. I hadn't even heard of it.


PS: (this is probably a bit cheeky) - but I would love to know how you achieve some of those effects. I know you use a different program to me but I'm just so curious - especially the one where (I know I won't describe this very well) the colour is "overblown" - as it very bright for a sec. I can't figure out if it's a transition of some sort or an effect on the clip. Does that make sense? Equally, I'm totally cool if you don't!)

Excellent vid - as usual hun.

Well, usually i don`t do anything else except SPN video xD But...i watched this movie, i heard this song, and it was like 2+2=4 =)
Haylock rec`d it? Wow, cool)) Yeah, i haven`t heard of it either till [livejournal.com profile] sacrament666 told me about it. Great movie.

Oh, don`t worry, hun, i`m always glad to teach somebody something ^^ The thing you told about is not an effect, it is something i use LIKE an effect, but it`s not like basic thinng in the program.
I work in Sony Vegas *i thoguh you use this stuff too oO* And i can make a screencap or somthing, cause i`m pretty bad at explanations. I can make sorta lesson on SVS or something, just tell me what`s better for you :)
It`s pretty easy so it won`t take much time to learn it ;)

Hey! Thanks Loki. I use Final Cut Express. (It's like the mac version of Vegas I think). It's fairly "top end" but I'm still coming to grips with it. I've been playing around with all sorts of ways of getting different effects (because I always like to try new things and test myself!) but I just can't figure out how you do all that (what I call!!) "blinking" of clips.

But don't go to any trouble hun! If screen capping is easy for you then that would be awesome - but I don't want it to be any trouble .I just can't help but be curious

!*hugs*

Yeah, same here! I don`t like easy ways, lol)))
Oh, no,it`s not hard, it`s fun)))
I`m not sure about the names of the effects, i just show you how i do it, ok? If you don`t mind, i show you how i do this glowy effect with the slow-motion, cause i think it`s very effective =)
So, here`s the screencaps.
1. Put the clip on the timeline, and then cut the part where you want to start slow-motion.

2.Then click ctrl+left mouse buttom and drag the clip to the right to make it sloooooower =)

3.Then go the the end of the clip and cut 1 frame from it. Usually i cut 1, but you can cut 2 - it depends on the effect and on you ;)

4.For this ONE frame use the glow effect - i don`t know if you have, or, if you do where it is, but it`s called "Glow", and make this one frame VERY glow =)

5.Then click left mouse buttom and drag this frame to the left and make this crossfade transition. We do it because we want soft transition from the "normal" clip to the glowy one.

6. Voiala, we have the clip =)

WOW Loki - this is awesome - thanks so much. It makes perfect sense. I can't believe I hadn't figured that out. I don't have an effect called "glow" but I'm sure there is something similar in FCE.

Interesting to then use the crossfade transition. I've been playing with the cross dissolve between "effected" and un-effected" clips.

Thanks SO much for sharing this.
