Ongoing Production: Effects Experimentation

The Video

We are getting on really well with out video....We've begun putting in effects such as "colour correction" (Brightness & Contrast, Adding/taking away blue, green or red shades) and "image control" (gamma correction), to get rid of things like shiny faces, bland background, dull colours, and just to generally make the footage look as high quality as possible. But we will properly grade it nearer towards the end

We are also currently experimenting with reversing/repeating/chopping up shots to make them look weird and quirky, sometimes with the beat and lyrics and sometimes against it. So far, this has worked really well and gives our video a surprising edge. Otherwise, I think it would be a boring video, as there is only one location, excluding the narrative.

Overall, as far as the video is concerned, I'm really happy with how it's going. We should be on target for the deadline and we only have a few gaps to fill in.

The Digipack and Myspace

Because we've been so focused on the video, we've kind of forgotten that we have two other practical tasks to complete for the same deadline!...: The album cover (digipack) and the myspace (website). We need to start these projects!
