Video into Film?

mattkprovideo.com/2023/09/03/video-into-film/

Some 4K (3840 by 2160) drone ( DJI Mavic Pro 3) and iPhone video footage, tinkered with in Adobe After Effects to look like film.

I played with “Brightness/Contrast”, color, LUT, “add grain” and “add dust” to get the look I like.

Shot at the Bexar County Courthouse in downtown San Antonio, Texas. September 2, 2023. And at the nearby “Love Locks.”

Coffee Mug, Blue Screen

mattkprovideo.com/2023/09/02/coffee-mug-blue-screen/

I put my coffee mug in front of a “blue screen” (a piece of blue construction paper!)

Then I took the footage into Adobe After Effects. I used the pen tool to isolate the mug and the parts of the image that weren’t blue.

Then I used after effects> keying and took out the rest of the blue screen.

I improved the look of the footage with adjustment layers of “Brightness/Contrast” “Auto Color” and Hue/Saturation.

After the footage was isolated and keyed out, I rendered just the mug with an alpha channel ( Render setting> QuickTime>Animation, “RGB plus Alpha”.

I took that pre rendered shot and added more contrast and grain. with fake cigarette smoke layered behind and in front of the coffee mug.

The video layer was a 3D element and I put the camera on a null object and I moved the Null object around to give it fake camera shake.

Listening to Weisberg

As a former Conspiracy Theorist who is now about 95% on the Lone Gunman side….
I listen to old conspiracy talk like this with amusement.
Harold Weisberg mentions anonymous callers to radio shows who claim to have known Oswald or other characters (possibly) linked to the Assassination, and these callers say the “know” information about Oswald that that Warren Commission didn’t.

“Oswald had a much higher security clearance than they say…”
” He knew __…. “
Weisburg then uses these “anonymous sources” as “evidence” in his books.
To any CT out there-
if you were on trial for something major, and the prosecutor presented evidence as flimsy as “some unnamed person called into a radio show claiming _
wouldn’t you tell your attorney to ask for an objection?

Downfall 2012 at Fitzgeralds

mattkprovideo.com/2023/08/19/downfall-2012-at-fitzgeralds-2/

Hard Rock band Downfall 2012 will be headlining a live music show with supporting acts Modern, Shelly Webster and MTR on FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 2023 at 7:45 pm at Fitzgerald’s Bar & Live Music Venue in San Antonio

We created 2 promotional videos for this show. One is Horizontal, the other is in vertical video.

This is an experiment to see if its true that a vertical video will attract more attention than a horizontal one.

Both videos were created with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects, with some 2D animated logos made with adobe animate ( nee- Flash). The final versions were edited in Adobe Premiere.

This is the vertical video.
