individual specialist project #193 - individual specialist project part 76

This is my 72nd blogspot post for our individual specialist project.

Continued from where I had left off ...

Today (November 20th 2015) - Post production

I continued working on the post production

for my pitch video trailer. 

Today I forcused on the finish touches which is just

compiling the shots in After effects

Adding in the BGM using premiere

and exporting all of it out using adobe media encoder

it was a long progress moving up to this bit but

the pitch video trailer is all done and dusted.

 Reflection:

What went well ?

hard to say since it's mostly just the exporting.

What didn't went well?

I had to re-export the animation a couple of times

due to the file size and sound 

(the sound was quiet at some stages 

so I had to make it a bit more louder.)

It took a long time to export all of the shots off

from adobe flash as a png sequence 

so i found another software called swivel 

to make the progress more faster.

A full reflection on the whole project

of my individual specialist project 

will be out sometime next week.

Today (November 19th 2015) - Post production

I continued working on the post production

for my pitch video trailer. 

Today I just forcused on re-sizing my shots 

and re-exporting them from flash 

but they were taking longer to export so I have 

found a quicker way to do it by turning them into swf instead of a

png sequence.

These are the steps of how i exported out my files today ...

I changed the jpeg quality to 100 before i moved on to the sound settings.

After that I exported the file out as a swf.

From there I used a program called swivel to convert my swf files 

into a mp4 file.

and that was a lot quicker than what i had done yesterday.

My step after this is to re-import them into after effects

and re-compile them into the final trailer (again)

hopefully this time the files work perfectly.

Today (November 18th 2015) - Post production

I continued working on the post production

for my pitch video trailer. 

Today I was able to finish re-animating 

the text of introduction to the trailer.

From there I complied the shot and exported it out 

in after effects. 

It seems that when I exported it out

something didn't seem to the right with the sound files

to which i had to cut off some parts off to the dialogue and 

the music itself was louder than it should be (lower than the dialogue).

When I sync the png files with the dialogue it was off

the animation was playing at 30 frames per second to which it was 

supposed to be playing at 25 frames per seconds.

I exported the png files as 1920 x 1080 to which it supposed to be 

the same file size as the flash file that way the

images will sync up to the dialogue perfectly 

So currently  I am now  re-exporting

all the shots as png files in the right dimensions

and re-exporting them out again in after effects.

Plan for the rest of the day:

Is to re-export all the shots as pngs.

So that tomorrow I can re-import them into after effects

and have them sync up with the dialogue.

Today (November 17th 2015) - Post production

I continued working on the post production

for my pitch video trailer. 

Today I did some re-recording of a dialogue piece

for the introduction of my pitch. Since in one dialogue line 

it becomes louder at one point then suddenly it becomes low again.

Before that I went on to this website 

http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html

to find some bgm that fit with my pitch and I have found two songs 

that I can use

Other than that

my plan for later tonight and tomorrow

is to re-animate the text to the introduction of my pitch.

Today (November 16th 2015) - Post production

I started working on the post production

for my pitch video trailer. 

I first begin exporting all the files out from flash

(the introduction shot of my pitch)

from there I used Adobe Media Encoder 

to change the settings and the compression of the files

and later I used Adobe After effects 

to put all the files together.

I am currently working making sure that the sound works well

and later if it does I'll add some bgm music to it.

About the sound ...

some of the sound files sounds loud in the way that I want it to be

but in the other files they become lower again. 

I wonder what I can do to fix that.

Today (November 13th 2015) - Production

I continued working on the production

for my pitch video trailer. 

This time working on the other features part

This is what I have done for it ...

(colours are off).

Other than that the production for the pitch video trailer

is finally done. I can start with the post-production next week.

Reflection

How did the week go?

Everything went smoothly but I did have some troubles along the way.

1. I was having trouble when combining the chinese chess board game mode

with the rpg battle mode. One of the file just didn't appear correctly.

2. The animation for the text took me a whole school day 

to work on for each shot.

3. All production stuff for this is done now

so i'm glad that i can focus my attention more 

during the post-production.
