Alright, that was pretty cool huh? I saw it and said "wow". Now in this video, I'm going to comment on the editing since this is what this guy did. The music is from Inception, yes. Now onward!
So, his editing. I feel like it was almost spot on. It went very well with the music, which makes me happy. I really like the pacing of it (which I'm sure is helped with the music). I loved the use of the pictures, black screen and the white fade out. I really liked how he matched it up so when Hitler and all that war stuff came about, the music became much more sinister. I think this music was a great choice for this piece because it has intensity, it makes it feel so much stronger as a visual artwork. I also like how the video continued after the present until the sun exploded and ended the earth. It felt like a good closing choice, so we know our story up until now, and we know how it's most likely going to end, so here's what we've got. There was a lot of America going around it after a while. I looked at the comments he got and they seemed to agree. It also wasn't quite right with the timeline, but other then that, good job dude! I give you a thumbs up!
As always I encourage you guys to comment on it as well, so let me know what you think of it!

This video was pretty cool. It must have taken a lot of work to get all those pictures together, and to have them on screen for only a fraction of a second. I usually don't edit around music. I put it in afterwards and edit around it to try and fit, but I can definitely see how it makes it better to edit with the music in mind.
ReplyDeleteYa, we had that conversation the other week, how I edit with my music first and you don't. Everyone does have their own way of doing things that work for them. I'm SO glad there isn't just ONE way of editing. That would just cramp my style.
