A cool Project idea that worked pretty well..

Check it out www.day-vidsproductions.com/Junk/CR_Intro.mp4

This will be playing on a screen for an easter play at a local church here. They hired me to put together a video intro because the last folks they had do it, did not do it to satisfaction.

it may still undergo some tweaking but I'm just pleased that my planned idea worked out alright.

Congrats, Brian.

the audio was actually a recording they used last time around I guess. The Nar is by the person who is "Saul.. of tarsus" because he talks at the beginning of many scenes as a distraction for scene changes.

(everytime I hear him say I am saul... of tarsus, it sounds kinda gritty, like he's gonna say AND THIS TIME, IT'S PERSONAL, or something LOL). Ok well, anyway.

I've updated the intro to show a few fixes and I still have to see what it looks like on their projector to see if I need to adjust color etc... but with the FX that I've applied even my Core 2 duo takes about 30+ minutes to render this baby out (Magic Bullet BABY! even with the GPU accel on the color correction the deartifactor takes FOREVER to render).

Be sure to check the projection at the same time of the day.

Projections in my church have to deal with two stories of glass spilling light onto the screen area. Had to make a brighter image - looks lousy on PC screen, but projects rather well.

Normal brightness just dissappears except for the whites.

yea, this church has pretty controlled lighting and I will be checking it in a rehearsal this evening, but thx for the advice. I've got a good bit of exp with vids in this church, they hire me a lot.

Dave: That is really great. The blending of images and the cuts in and out of the writing were superb. You need try sell this (and I assume there is more) to one of the US religious networks. They love this type of sentimental but high quality production stuff.

Well done.

this is all there is, but the material is probably not mine anymore, since I did it for hire. I think it belongs to them now. The Nar, and everything are from the church that hired me. I know the writer etc..., but it's not a viable goal at this stage (not a bad idea for something to expand to though, thanks for the notion).

Nicely produced...

one suggestion... with so much wind noise at the beginning, shouldn't there have been some sand blowing around?

Great job.

Haven't got any footage of wind blown sand, so I just went with what I had.

Really the hardest part of this whole thing was the footage, I thought trying to get the text to appear over the footage would be harder, but it just took a small bit of work to separate the paper from the text and hands (took a bit of makeup to get the hands separate in color enough and it was still a couple of problem spots) and lay it on top of the "over/under lay" scenery footage.
