My first montage video...

[Sir Wood]

Here's a sampling of the original I just worked on this evening (a good 3-hrs since I'm a newbie).

Very little transitional effects because the initial work was based off matching the essence of the images with the music lyrics, and it would have taken a lot longer. Anyway, I hope you'll all be able to get the file and view it. :o

good video wood, i appreciate your first work... you have done well,
so you have done that video only with wallpapers, try editing some of the her videos and publish it!

[espire]

Better than my first videos have been in general.

I'd recommend cropping the images so that there aren't any borders. Also, how about some musique française at the least, if not Alizée?

Thanks! Yes, that will be my next big hurdle since I'm still learning. I've something in mind, I just have to get all the pieces together, so I'm not sure when that will happen. ;)

Merci. I know what you mean. I was just excited to start playing and learning something new and was not paying too much attention to the image borders but their sequence to the music. :D

[Luc]

That's a very nice start Sir Wood. And good choice of the song. :) Keep posting your future work!

[nurvonic]

[Joey_adore_Jung]

Awesome Video Sir Wood.

[Matrix]

Pretty good Sir Wood, not bad..you sure that's your first video, you seem like a natural at this. The image cuts went with the beat, good job. Alizee takes my breath away thats for sure

I liked the ending when you phased out with that heart shape

3hrs, yea it's time consuming makeing Alizee videos but the best part is....while you are making the video, lol You're the Director and its alot of fun

good job :)

I'm waiting for Moe to get his site back up so that I can have some videos to work with. That's why I don't know when I'll get to that project. :o

Thanks all for your kind words. Top Gun is one of my favorite movies and the soundtrack was the first piece of music I ever got! :D

[painbringer]

good video woods... i enjoyed it

that song is one of my favorites

[Tye]

Painbringer, I know this is off-topic, but where did you get your avatar from, and is it a video? If it is a video I would like to see it, if you could post it.

[Sir Wood]

I finally gave myself some time over the weekend to rework the initial video out of beta. First post has been updated with the 2nd edit. Thanks! ;)

[Fusoya]
