Finally finished it :) took long enough too. Have I Got News For You is coming on now so I can't stay and chat. Enjoy, this video near enough destroyed my little PowerBook so be nice to it. :p
 
Awesome. Great piano as well. I think all the time put into the project was well worth it, and I'm glad you stuck with it.

Nice work. :)

Do! They're very fun to make. though it was the editing side that had me pulling my hair out. We did a few shots in reverse, only I forgot to reverse them... god knows how... and redragging over 50 or so frames from one end to the other was NOT FUN.

:)

and thanks for the words guys!
 
Nice work - my favourite bit is in the bedroom, where the shoes (slippers) come sliding over to the young ladies feet.
 
That really is a very nice product, I love it. Congratulations. Playing music is really my field, but I wish I was into this sort of thing but I don't know the first thing about it.
 
That cool :cool:

What apps were required to make something like that :confused: I love knowing what apps are capable of, its just amazing, oh the the creative talent such as yourself ;) serious though I could never do something like that :)

I was pretty raw with mine. took photos with my Canon 350D, NEED a high capacity card if you want to take a lot of footage in a 1 shoot. Just took the pics, copied them into a folder, dragged a set of 6 photos out at a time and placed them into Final Cut Express. Any more than 6 would mess up the order they get placed in. strangely enough :confused:

Very basic really. :)

Basic, and very time consuming. Any reason you used FCE instead of iMovie?

FCE allows for shorter frame times, and I really need multiple layers just for organisation purposes. It's entirely realistic to use iMovie, just a lot quicker to use FCE.
 
I have a technical question for you.

You say on your site that all the pictures were 3456×2304 and that you edited in 720p. Since 720p is only 1280x720, would it be better to convert all the picture to 1280x720 before importing into FCE.

Would that save render time or would it make no difference? Would quality be affected at all?
 
I thought about that afterward I did all the important, but I sorta realised that copying the images over rendered them into 1280*720. The only negative aspect to the huge resolution images is the space the raw files are occupying on my HDD :eek:
all 8gb of them.
