Walk before you run

Now before i did some research into companies or individuals that use after effects or VFX i decided to do some research into how to make a video and what steps will be needed for me to make a relatively good video/movie sequence.

       The youtube video i decided to do my research from was the 102nd episode of the angry video game nerd since he had a history of video editing, a series that is very popular and which he uses his knowledge on for every episode. So with out further a do the vid is just below.



Watching him demonstrate how he works makes me realise how inexperienced i am ranging from how he arranges all his work and just his workflow. This video doesn't show his after effect work even though he does use it.

  What i learn\t from AVGN is that as i progress i really need to use some of the techniques he uses such as time codes which really would make my work a lot easier than it was in other modules that we have done.

I thought i should mention that i was also going to put a shot on that shows a more action heavy sequence but ended finding that the video i was going to use has recently been deleted so i will explain what the video showed. The mainly explains how he composited the shot to make it appear like he was thrown on a chair and broke it, how he does it he shows taking a still shot of the empty chair, a shot of the chair being pulled down to show the effect of it breaking and finally james jumping into the futon which is being held up. I think this may be a basic form of after effect but is shows good compositing since it looks seamless.
