In the mean-time I did research the topic and realised there is much more I could get out of it especially that the subject itself is interesting. By introducing appropriate effects and transitions in the post-production I could easily (well...) produce some amazing sequences.
A friend of mine suggested to investigate the 'theory 11' youtube channel which features a variety of quality footage aimed to promote specialist cards and accessories
just a random example, there is plenty to choose from.
I must admit I was left speechless after browsing just several videos. I wasnt that happy with my footage anymore and decided to push it slightly further. Not only the quality of the footage is amazing but also this group has managed to accomplish everything in such short movie length (something which I struggle with).
Right now I am working with Radek on a script for the entire performance. I am considering several tools for making the footage really stand out, the most basic yet successful method is the time-remapping tools (e.g. Twixtor). Below is a quick example I did just to experiment how it works.
It does the job for now (especially that it was shot in 30fps only whereas the suggested framerate is at least 50p).
I did surf the web a bit and found a lot of useful advice on how to best shoot the footage so that one could get the most out of it in the post. Philip Bloom has several interesting tips here.
Ok.this would be it for now.
Coming soon: advanced post-production inspired with Salomon's productions on the vimeo.com. Example below
Be sure to check other productions from his channel, this is some finest post-production examples I've seen.
All these little graphic elements add so much to the overall production! This does bring back memories of my first experiments with the Photoshop brushes back in the days. It must be way more complex for dynamic media, but let's face it - everything was complex at the beginning. It did pay off in the long run.
Now I am officially excited for this project.
Lesson's learnt: The scariest thing in the world: the 0.01% germ. It is immune even to the strongest bleaches, it will take over the world one day. Brace yourselves.
