VIDEO SKINS – CREATE EXCITING VIDEOS FREE! #2

Before revealing the technological advancements that have taken place since my own (crude) experiments way back in 2007, I should at least portray the developments I achieved.

The statement (way back in 2007) appears to be derogatory to state, since it spans a mere 12 months, but it shows how fast technology is evolving today.

The concept of creating what I referred to ‘internal visual surrounds’ within the structure of streaming videos, became an obsession. Millions of videos uploaded to hosting sites, all have one thing in common ~ they are presented in boring black squares!

Although being restricted in funding, as I was merely experimenting as an open source theory, I managed to make certain strides in my efforts.

Old cinema style surround.

My initial experiments were centered on creating an old style cinema surround, using curtains as a backdrop.

After taking j peg snapshots of the “Metro” cinema sides, and online news scroller software, I uploaded them to my online workshop (hidden page) on one of my websites.

Careful manipulation of the images, cropping to size ~ 320 wide x 240 pixels high, I was able to create the first internal visual surround and used it to create movie trailer surrounds. This was also reproduced in the color blue.

Choosing a what proved to be a popular movie trailer, I recorded the footage and placed it within the folds of the surrounds.

Realizing the multilingual needs of different languages, I translated the movie trailer synopsis in many languages incorporated within the news scroller.

This proved to be popular amongst viewers from countries other than English speaking, simply because they could now understand the storyline.

Admittedly the Indiana Jones experiment was not as popular as my recording of ‘Fools gold’ which attracted over 90.000 views, possibly because it was an unknown entity and was not a perfect job, but it was a beginning and proved worthwhile.

This amusing animation by (Future thought) is a masterpiece on its own. All credits must go to this outstanding producer whom has created many fascinating animations.

On first viewing, I decided to spice the presentation up even further, by adding a futuristic skin to the surrounding elements of the original video.

Being a perfectionist, I need to increase the size of both the internal visuals and the surrounding skin, but there is enough of it to show the skinning effects.

I should also have cropped the corners to give it a polygon shape, rather than a square.

Video presentation in the form of adding new skins and re-recording, is a new art form that is emerging as an alternative to the accepted norm.

From this point onwards I shall be revealing my earlier (crude) experiments in attempting to create video surrounds that were more appealing to the eye.

Technology has greatly improved my efforts and now it has become so simple, anyone can create stunning visual presentations, valuable in promoting both personal and commercial videos.
