Time Lapse of editing process. (P.S screen capture only went for 30 minutes and I did not realize it automatically ended so lots missing from this to the “final”)

For this week I wanted to try and start creating an idea of an intro for the skate movie I am hopping to eventually create once I have Recorded enough clips of my friends skateboarding. I Plan to make this edit at least thirty minutes and will include multiple cinematic shots like this and b-Roll clips that are very hard to get.

Prior to editing the most important and hardest parts are taking place which is getting the clips to use and finding a song that fits what you are going for. Afterwards I would say editing is mostly trial and error until you get the video you were hopping for. You can see this play out a lot in the video of me editing compared to the “final” project.

The tools I tried to learn and improve on this time were: Key Frames (frames that you select to have a start point and will eventually connect to an endpoint to create some sort of movement), zoom in and out with key frames, colour correction, and colour correction utilizing key frames.

When watching the editing process you will see many clips and ideas that didn’t end up in the “final” project. This is due to me watching the entire video after editing and picking out things I don’t like or require a small amount of change. In this video I added a few clips that had quite a lot of colour, after watching the entire video I realized that these clips do not match the vibe I was going for so I would take them out entirely or change them to better suit what I am looking for.

A lot of this video comes from the inspiration of my favorite skate movie of all time called Mindfield by Alien Workshop. This video and especially the intro is where my passion for wanting to create this movie began.
