Additional Informaiton for unit 3

Further to my essay report submitted on 12th June, 2006. I would like to add that I have worked on the second video after that. I would like to bring the attention of the assessors towards the hard work I put in the treatment of the second movie.

During this time I have been working on synchronizing the music with both the videos. As this is one of the unique features about this video. This is because the same music track and audio effects are used on both the videos.

The assessors would be able to see from the soft copy of the work submitted the amount of work that was put in editing and adding effects to the 2nd video. I have used different techniques. Following are some additional techniques that I used in the treatments.

• Alpha channels
• Blue screen
• Lightning and shine effects
• Blur effects
• Digital effects

The sound used on the project is all originally produced. Mr. Nicko Karavas of Edinburgh University has helped me produce the audio of these videos. I then edited and synchronized this with both the videos. This was done by keeping one video as standard and making the other based on the music to time it exactly the same with the audio.

I have used different digital effects to give a modernistic feel to the 2nd movie. As a result to all the effects used I ended up with more then 160 layers to the final movie. This can be seen in one of the screen shot of my blogg , “Screen Shot Movie 2b” fourth picture. You would be able to see that there is a laser lights, display screen, alpha channel dancers, digital effect on the right of the screen, as well as animation in all the work.

The dancers in the clubbing scene and the robot workers in the office scene of the 2nd movie were all created as low polygon models. These characters add richness to the video.
