Books, Art and Music


Click through to vimeo for a complete description. This was a simple test so that I could work on two things:

(1) Widescreen rendering for vimeo, and (2) music scoring for a video from within Garage Band.

The footage is fairly sloppy due to fact that I was working with limited time and it was less about the video as compared to the widescreen render workflow and the music scoring.  I basically got the video cut in a few minutes using Final Cut and then performed a pre-score-render, where I then dragged the video into garage band so I could score around it, and then render it all out again.

For my next experiment I will try to asemble a test scene with a few different emotions and textures so that I can work on matching musical style with the scene content.

Fun, fun! Be sure and click the "vimeo" icon in the lower right of the video to see the larger version over on the vimeo website.
