my pop video project
Oct. 20th, 2006 01:24 pmWith many thanks to all those in fandom who share footage and photos, to
glendaglamazon,
withdiamonds,
eponymous,
marrymehowie,
daisydust for encouragement, suggestions and clip help, and especially
trumpeterofdoom for listening to me drone on about this more than any one person should have to, and for making many useful suggestions (which I didn't listen to enough).

Backstory: About a third of those attending the fan gathering
get__together in NZ were pop fans. I decided to try making something for us to watch, that hopefully other fans could enjoy watching too, even without knowing the groups or the context of footage. Mind you, I'd done virtually no video editing before, didn't have a clear idea of what I was making, didn't want it too slash focused (didn't want to exclude non RPS fans) and wanted to limit myself to reasonable quality footage, as where we were having the gathering has a bigass screen. Over the month or so that this project consumed my brain, I did question my sanity a fair bit, and my ideas on what I was making kept changing, so I'm not claiming I achieved these goals ;) But I'm reasonably satisfied with how it turned out.
While I was making it,
glendaglamazon suggested I ask about the
sparklecon footage party.
withdiamonds and
marrymehowie kindly accepted, and barring any issues (::crosses fingers and toes that the dvd works::), hopefully they will watch it this weekend at the party.
I put in and took out more clips than I ended up using (and struggled to keep it group-centric when it was turning into a Chris and Brian lovefest, I swear) and might ramble at length another time about the making of this (there are two things I had to do that I impressed myself with, though they really aren't that cool *g*). But for now I'll shut up!
I hope you enjoy, and would love to hear your reactions/thoughts on it :)

Date: 2006-10-20 05:41 am (UTC)I do have a question about the footage you used. What appearances were it when Justin and JC are engaged and Chris got him pregnant, and the Joey loves Justin appearance?
Btw; what program did you use to do that, if you don't mind telling?

Date: 2006-10-20 06:33 am (UTC)Gotta ask - the Lance end, or the credits part? The first part of the video I made was the Lance part (though it then kept changing with better photos of them etc), and the credits part was very last minute *g*.

Date: 2006-10-20 06:36 am (UTC)I've realised that I'll need make a big list of footage so people can find stuff they haven't seen before *g*. The first bit is from an interview they did in Japan, not sure of specifics, I got it from an Nsyncland dvd. The second is from Live at Much 2000.
The major editing work was done with Cyberlink PowerDirector, but I also used VirtualDub, WinAVI, Windows Movie Maker and Creative Wave Studio.
