After all the British newspaper speculation of Ronaldo leaving Manchester united, we can now reveal that the American (septic tank) owners have strong German connections.
The above video is actual footage taken by a spy using the latest Nokia mobile phone with 5.0 mega pixels. The scene was taken in the bored room at Old Trafford and edited with expert translation by google.
Please excuse the bad language in the translation. We believe this to be a true version of the event.
Many lives were at risk from the Man U hoards, in smuggling the film out of Manchester.
Presenting ‘Women in art and film’ - mans appreciation of woman.
From the age of dawn, man has indulged the passion of art. From cave drawings - stone sculptures of the Greek Minoan and Roman empires, through the tapestry’s of biblical times and the masters of oil and watercolors. Pictorial editions of the holy bible and the Koran were emblazoned with colorful drawings.
There are many forms of art, including architecture and design. Photography is an art form which led to the invention of cinema. Technology has now enabled the practice of electronic art in the structure of softwares like Adobe photoshop and after effects.
Music is also a fine art and I feel blessed with the ability to visualize audio and graphical movements. Phillip Scott Johnson is an absolute master in the art of visual flow (morphing). Imagine the work involved in piecing the portraits and photographs together in the video above. Facial expressions and physique have to be matched in order for the scenes to marry into each other.
Digital software has made it possible but only the imagination and hard work of a master artist can create it. Acknowledgment must also go to George Micheal and Virgin records for the beautiful soundtrack “Safe”.
After many experiments on creating videos with internal visual surrounds. Static backgrounds - moving backgrounds and scrolling story lines. I stumbled upon a web site that has successfully created software that provides “external visual surrounds”.
Subsequently, the process has been made far easier to implement the whole idea of creating videos with rounded corners - thus eliminating the boring black squares.
http://CURVED-CORNER-BOXES.COM/The website is free to join - at this moment and actually so easy to apply a video, it is great fun. You can either use the sites graphic backgrounds, or upload your own graphics, add text, in any color, and use their embed code to place on your own website. The video above ‘ Will Smith - in Hancock’ was created using the red brick background and a flash scroller giving the story line in Italian.
From gathering the story - translating - making the scroller - placing the video in the widget and recording on Camtasia, took under one hour to process.
Imagine this - you discover an unusual product and contact the manufacturer to join their affiliate program. Then you find an amusing video on the subject and embed it onto your site, permission granted from the video owner, of course (copyright).
It could be a complete website, centering around the product, or a single page which spices up your other content. Write articles and blogs about the amazing product, all linking to your site. Search engines love articles, blogs and videos - people love humor - it is a winning formula and a powerful addition to your armory.
Every day life and the difference between man and woman, is a subject that is often talked about, yet rarely written about. Videos on the subject are even rarer - note - we are not talking of pornography here.
In relation to video marketing and web site construction, it is becoming more essential to embed videos as an attraction for your visitor. If the videos are humorous without being too far over the top, and changed regularly, your visitor may bookmark your site and return.
The video I have chosen to accompany this article is an excellent production, however it does include a few naughty words, so is therefore not suited for family viewing. It also leads up to a video selected for part two of this article.
Here is a quick joke on the subject (posted on Samantha Burn’s blog).
A man in a bar starts trying to impress a lovely young thing, who quickly tires of his advances. “Look,” she says, “I’ll bet you $100 you can’t pee higher up the alley wall than I can. If I win, you pay up and leave the bar. If you win, I’ll pay you, and then blow you right there in the alley.”
Thinking he has a sure win, he agrees, downs the rest of his beer for the extra pressure, then follows the girl and the rest of the bar’s patrons into the alley. The girl demurely drops her panties, then does a handstand, spreads her legs, and shoots a stream of steaming liquid ten feet up the wall. The crowd applauds. The man, realizing he has a tougher challenge than he thought, slowly drops his trousers then pulls his pitiful thing out of this boxers.
The girl, wagging a finger, seals his doom with the gentle statement, “Hey, buddy, no hands!”
Revisitingthe online video editing site (Jumpcut), prompted me to re-edit and re-vamp some old footage using aninternal visual surround method.
I rearranged the footage on Jumcut’s timeline and added a techno sound mix, adjusting the audio to match the visuals by sliding, until it was near perfect.When satisfied, I captured the play with Camtasia in a small pixel area (rectangle).
The first capture was rendered as ’space1′.I then loaded 22 stock photos of space pics, resized to fit the display area of ‘Flash slideshow maker’ and created the slideshow as a moving background.With the slideshow activated in the background, I played the video ’space1′ in ‘Winamp’ media player, classic version, as the top layer.
Back on Camtasia, I set the capture size and timed both the layers to activate and made the recording.Having to pause the winamp player twice to coincide with the slideshow, meant that the resulting capture required further editing on the Camtasia timeline.
Being on a personal timer, I quickly spliced out the unwanted footage and as a result, the completed video was produced in under the hour.More time would have created a near 100% production, but as this was only a demo, it was sufficient.
This video was created using both moving footage and ‘Myspace’ comment images to create the montage part of the production. This actually shows that you can make montages from any image, as long as the images have been captured as jpegs.
The soundtrack is once again by Nathan Walters - (Romance you). Chosen for obvious reasons. A wonderful song deserves decent visuals. I hope everyone agrees.
All good video editing suites incorporate time lines within the software. There are many suites to chose from, I personally use Camtasia 4.5, but even free suites are available and easy to use.
Please bear with me if you are already proficient with video editing. This article is intended, not just for complete beginners, but also to improve your own skills.
Time lines are an excellent tool for cutting out the um’s and ah’s in visual presentations, that is a subject on its own. What I would like to discuss here is using time lines in stock footage.
Providing you own or have the permission to use photos, a montage can be created by importing and placing them onto the story board in preferred order and transitioned to effect - more on this another time.
Moving footage - let us say - a series of movie trailers, can be imported and placed on the time line for editing. Unwanted scenes can be cut out, and more desirable scenes, spliced into the video construction, simply by moving the pointer across the time slot and hitting the scissors. Practice, practice, practice, is the key to mastering every art, and just like painting on a canvas, if you are unhappy with the cut, you can simply remove the section from the time line and re-import the footage.
As I am currently writing a book on the art, I cannot explain much further here, however, the video I have chosen to accompany this article, shows how a montage and moving footage can be spliced together.
Sometimes the words of a beautiful song can inspire you to create a nice video. Nathan Walters, is a wonderful singer and the words in ‘Quiet of the night’, moved me to create scenes depicting the sacrifice, our lord, Jesus Christ, made for us. The video begins with a photo montage, borrowed from a pre-made video. On watching, the viewer, is satisfied that this is a montage, but at the point after the message - I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:11, the video transitions into moving footage of the movie - The passion of Christ. immediately, the song and the visuals , transpire the video into a notable presentation that will always be remembered.
Violent, Painful & Controversial - please note - the above video should not be viewed by minors or anyone with nervous disposition’s.
Continuing in the vein of most popular videos, we have noticed that on many video forum sites, such as vewgle, the most viewed category has been in the Violent, Painful & Controversial section. Being music and movie buffs, we find it hard to understand - why?
Maybe there are enough music and movie vids on Youtube to satisfy most needs, then people turn to the forums to view the controversial vids, as an escape.
We created the above video as a test. Disgusting vomiting scenes from Monty Python’s - Mr Creosote - the brain slicing scene from Silence of the lambs and Travis throwing food around a dinner table in their song - ‘Sing’, were spliced together and dished up for controversy. It has been suggested that the video could be used as a dietary aid, as after viewing, no normal person would consider eating a meal.
If you wish to view this video, please consider it as an example of what is a popular viewing vehicle. We do not condone this type of video ourselves - view it with a sense of humor, in the understanding of popular genre.
