New iThemes.TV Intro

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Created for iThemes.TV in Motion 4 and Final Cut Pro 7.
Sound effects from the Soundtrack Pro 3 Library.

As many of you know, I’m the video guy over at iThemes and we’ve been working on bringing the weekly show up a level. It took most of the summer for all of the changes to come together but nevertheless we’re getting closer to where we want to be!

Let me know what you think of our new intro.

Recreating the Kodak XL55 Movie Camera’s Viewfinder in Final Cut Pro

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

I’ll start with this 5 second clip of the end result and you can check out the tutorial and commentary below that:

End Result

Tutorial

After sitting in the office mesmerized by Brad’s old Kodak Super 8mm camera (and it spawning discussion of JJ Abrams latest endeavors), I eventually I got the idea to recreate the old camera’s viewfinder look in Final Cut Pro (FCP) because I just thought it looked awesome using some footage I already had of Matt Danner. Since I took the time to make it, I figured I would share how I did it with the world so that you too can recreate this look without having to spend forever tinkering with it yourself. If you find a use for it and work it into a clip I would love to see how you’ve used it! – so put a link in the comments if you ever do!

(I included the 8mm clip from Video Copilot in the .zip file)

Modern Glitch

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Everything I’ve seen from people who are attending/have attended the Vancouver Film School Foundation has been intriguing. I told you yesterday that I’d feature another Ryan Smith video today so here you have it. My friend, Brad Ulrich, pointed out to me when I showed this to him yesterday that it has some semblance of this piece and I definitely agree that there is some inspiration drawn from it.

Digging the old billboards in this one a ton.
