New Intro using After Effects

[jetjackson]

Hi Guys,

Just spent 12 hours learning a bit more on how to use after effects and made a new intro for my video blog. You can see the actual video blog here - http://www.youtube.com/user/jetjaxon However I have put the intro up here - as I try to keep my youtube clean by posting video blogs only.

- Point focuses (Fast Blur, Circle, CC Composite Effects)
- Vinete (Oval tool, Curves)
- Curves - to 'lomography' the photos.
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V8FxDRMGvA see this tutorial with a link to the grain texture file DL which shows how I made it look a bit more textured - like real film.

All sounds individually sampled using the same camera that recoreded the footage, everything shot on a tiny point and shoot Panasonic HX-DC1. That's this camera -

So you can see that once you learn to use After Effects you can achieve quite a lot.

Great intro. Very well filmed and edited. The music works but it isn't great, I guess that's just my taste. :lol:

Actually I listened to the music again and I take that back. It works great too. Just needs to be balanced better with vocals using equing and mastering. Now I'm just picking at points, I know. Excellent production overall.

well done, I wish I could do that adventure, I'll settle for watching yours at the moment!

Nice, you have a good sounding voice too.
I wish I had the patience to learn, I don't think i've spent 12 hours editing all my vids put together!
Good luck with it..
