color

The image shows the custom color adjustments ive used on my videos, the left side being the original and right the edited version. To do this i used magic bullet then created a custom look using the tools avaliable, I feel the look i created works really well with this particular sequence as it really highlights the snow fall.

DreamP – Test Footage – Pole on Vimeo

•May 6, 2009 • Leave a Comment

The video contains test footage that was not used in the final production of DreamP – Pole.

This is another example of an early cut of pole, I feel i have the sound track pretty much down now, though im still undecided of the visuals and whether they represent what i am aiming for.

This video is apart of an investigation into dreams.

The video contains test footage that was not used in the final cut of DreamP – Pole.

This video if an early edit of one of my dream sequences named Pole, It represents the feeling of being trapped within a dream and being unable to escape from it. For thisĀ  i used the black hole metaphor.

Why?

The concept of creating a dream sequence allows me to be far more experimental and to have more creative freedom in what i produce. This will allow me to express my creative side much more thus allowing me to experiment with different techniques while filming and editing.

Audio

For the audio i plan on using tracks from the french band m83, As they have alot of surreal sounding songs that could be edited to fit within my dream sequences. I’ll also be using tracks by The American Dolla as for simular reasons as the create stunning audio tracks with little to no vocals that can be seemlessly added to my visuals.

Techniques

To create some of my dreams sequences i have been adopting new techniques of filming, One that i have used quite often has been out of focus filming as its creates a real nice effect which suits the dream effect i am aiming for. For the dream sequence Focus i used the technique to have the out of focus object appear to represent children playing, this accomplied by the right audio track really bring the sequence i life.
