I installed a new program today: Corel draw 4 which will allow me to create posters and magazines and album covers. Sure photoshop would work well too, but I feel this program is more specific for these type of jobs. The supervisor quickly showed me how the program worked as Iwill have to make a poster in the near future as well.
After he showed me I continued working on the last music video. I was done quickly with the editing (the cutting), but I decided to do something else now. Yesterday I watched someone else's music video on the same artist and that inspired me to do something new. I have done masking before, but that was two years ago and on an anime character which is quite easy to cut.
I remembered how I had to do this so I started masking. Quickly I realized I started wrong! So that cost me a lot more time than needed. I accidentally enabled snap as I thought that would help me sliding the anchors easier, but it was the opposite! My cut outs weren't as neat as they could be without the snapping on. When I realized this I had to redo all the keyframes I already did.
On top of that I skipped keyframes. I should have zoomed in as now some are off.
Were I to do it right from the start then I wouldn't have to worry about skipping keyframes or fixing up A LOT of anchor points. I should have also used a lot more anchor points than just a few as I had to add so many extra. The supervisor was happy I tried something new though and he saw I was inspired by the other video. I hope to work with some more effects after I finish that masking T.T Another helpful point I got from my supervisor is doing the crossfades on two seperate layers. My program tends to freeze during the crossfade, but this way it wont happen.
(You can crossfade by fading out one and the top layer in)
We had more on the planning, but as the supervisor had to go to places we postponed the tasks to tomorrow. Tomorrow I will play the drums! as we need to check out the microphones if they are set up properly. Next to that he had a script written for a radio commercial. Now I am not sure if I interpreted this correcttly, but I believe he said he wrote parts and still had to think on lines for a female character mentioning her mother and that I would be involved. So this means I get to voice act in the radio commercial? That would be so awesome! No matter I will start practicing on losing the accent, but next week when I move to a new house I will start on that as it's more peaceful there. (less people around, so I can practice out loud)
The supervisor said he would print some scripts that Ican take home with me. I also had to watch a lot of English shows, but that's what I do already XD
Tomorrow the other intern will drop by as well so I'll get to take a look at her work (mixing) and will learn about equalizers and compression in the process. Excited for tomorrow! Lots of different things to do!
