Hi,

A girl is traveling to the place where her lover is, who is singing inside the picture frame she is carrying. Then there is the pesky heart who wants to grab it off her.

The performer and song writer is Nu Bakson and his song is Glad U R Mine:

YouTube - Nu Bakson Glad U R Mine Music Video

I directed and did the post-production including the animation, plus some B camera footage of the picture frame by itself. Steven Wyatt did the principal cinematography with a small camera crew.

We used the Sony dsr350 to shoot the singer and girl. The Sony PD170 for the rest with anamorphic lens. It was roughly edited in Premiere and then finished in Adobe After Effects. The animated heart was animated and rendered in Lightwave 3D.

Any feedback on the video will be good.

Thanks
Alex

Very good!

Some of the shots could probably use some color correction and the tracking of the video in the picture frames could use a little tweaking, but other than that it's very nice!

Thanks. The tracking was problematic in AE because the picture frame was very reflective in the sunlight and the tracking markers did not stand out very well (so lots of manual frame by frame adjustments). I know now to use better markers in the future.

I colour corrected first then colour graded to give a look and feel I liked so its purposely not text book colour corrected.
