Re: Snow Scenes
Disjecta, are you a musician? Your understanding and use of the score in your editing is very, very tight. It's like you can see the music mathematically, much as a musician would.

Re: Snow Scenes
Thought so.
I play piano, too, as well as electric bass. If you played in a band for 12 years I assume you've done some recording as well. Going through that process is very helpful, too. It reinforces the respect you already have for such a tremendous art form, and you pay much more attention to it than many others would.
Man, what a medium film is. It ties in all of my passions: art, music, photography, writing. That's enough for a lifetime of creativity. Can't wait to get my major paid side projects done (and finish remodeling the house) so I can have more fun with it. Do something for myself, ya know?
Have you ever attempted to score your own stuff with a MIDI keyboard and your computer? That's my next thing, I think.

Re: Snow Scenes
I've thought seriously about scoring my own films but I don't have the equipment to do it and I'm just about flat broke right now.
I used to have an 8-track recorder when I was in my band and I wish I hadn't sold it. I also had a pretty cool synthesizer (A Roland Juno 6) that had some awesome sounds that I could really use right now....
It's something I'll consider and will do in the future but not right now.
Neil, you've got a nice setup and the sparse soundtracks you use are very effective.

Re: Snow Scenes
..thanks man. they are sparse as you said though, ..i dont think ive really put anything on here so far that really showcases my orchestration or whatnot yet. just stuff thats been rushed out or whatnot. ive been thinking about doing something to really highlight the score in it, but no time to even think about it as of late. a few guys here have some of my cds that i did hen i had spare time years ago though. if youd like a couple i can send them to you.. just throw me a pm. theres probably some stuff on the easy listening ones that you would like. i should post some songs sometime. :-/

Braw, I shoot letterbox and uprez it to 16x9 using Photozoom Pro as documented in the top post in the Technical section of this board. No anamorphic lens used...I don't own one
Thanks again for the kudos....[/quote]
Maybe you have answered this already, but what is your method of uprezzing? There's a cap on how many images photozoom can do at once right? Do you just break them off in max sections and go one section at a time? It seems cumbersome and very involved. Is there a way to automate it or do all frames in one go? ???

Re: Snow Scenes
The cap on the number of images is based on the amount of memory on your computer. I have 1.5gb and haven't had any problems with edits up to 5 minutes so far. I haven't tried anything longer yet. It is cumbersome if you have a slow computer with limited memory and especially if you are doing longer films but if you have a fast computer and are doing shorts, it works just fine.

Re: Snow Scenes
So sorry, I'm pretty good about responding to PMs but I've gotten a lot recently...
The composer's name is Donn Wilkerson and the track name is "Magic Morning".
It's one of the pieces on the music library I use:

It's in the Production Music section.
