In the afternoon of November 18th I went to Expression College for Digital Arts in Emeryville, California. Schlomo and Dave Toole provided an interactive presentation of videoblogging. I joined Ted Tagami and Markus Sandy as faciliators to three volunteer students to shoot, edit, post and view a vlog of the band performing at the end of the presentation. The video on this post was completed by Anthony and I. Anthony shot the band footage, captured and did the edit (the edit was completed in twenty minutes!) I shot the audience footage, uploaded the video to blip.tv and posted it on the Xpression vlog.
I learned a few things watching Anthony edit with certainty of the editing tools (Fina Cut Pro), footage and intended results. Anthony immediately took the sample footage Schlomo provided of seagulls flying above a beach and my audience footage, stripped the audio, cut them and placed them in the second video timeline over song elements. He used a moire filter on the seagull footage and Dip to Color Dissolve leading to white in and out of the seagulls.
