Spec PSA shot on Letus35 Flipped at DVinfo.net

Sean Michael · March 23rd, 2006, 06:24 PM

Here's my latest project for one of my classes final project:

http://media.putfile.com/Junior-Olympic-Spec-PSA

It's a spec PSA of "Achieving Your Dreams"

There are things that I would like to change about it, but the instructor gave us guidelines and requirements to what we had to have visually in the project.

The project was shot on the DVX100A with the Letus35 Flipped, edited and color-corrected in Vegas... Shot with Canon 50mm lens and Nikon 35-70mm zoom lens. Visual elements were done in After Effects.

That is saweet. nice job.

Bryan McCullough · March 23rd, 2006, 07:06 PM

That looked fantastic!

What effects did you use on the quote text? It looked really nice.

Ben Winter · March 23rd, 2006, 07:10 PM

Yea, I'm curious too...and was that motion tracking in AE or added camera movement with a plugin? And a 4:15 mile? Damn...

I'm sure he used the tools built into Vegas, it's got everything and the kitchen sink.

Vegas doesn't have motion tracking...

Sean Michael · March 23rd, 2006, 10:42 PM

All of the text effects were done in After Effects, the quote was done with a track matte, the texture inside of it was stock library footage... From there it was colorized with a Hue/Saturation filter and a Glow filter.

All of the tracking was also done in AE. AE has a great motion tracking system...

And yes, the kid's best time in the mile is 4:28... He's expected to get under 4:15 this year and he's only a Junior in high school. Someone to watch out for in the future Olympic games.

Terrific work. Keep it up!

VERY nice!!! Two big, fat, juicy thumbs up :D

It was wonderfully shot, very nicely colorcorrected, and I liked the visual elements overall =)

And of course, most importantly, it was very human and very inspiring. Some things will always be great, even if they're cliché ^^ It certainly gave me chills down my spine =)

Regards,

Very nice indeed. Explosions in the Sky is a great band bye the way. Top notch!

Sean, that was very professional. I was thinking that it was a nice balance between story and effects. A lot of times it seems folks go crazy with After Effects..you had a comfortable balance.
