Video Production

The video production application I use the most is Adobe Premiere. I have produced several videos with premiere and I am familiar with its interface and features.

The image on the left is an example of a RC movie I am putting together. My bother and I own RC cars and are making a movie of them in action, set to music. You can download the first half of the movie at the bottom of this page along with some other examples of my work.

Besides powerful tools like Adobe Premiere, often conversion tools are necessary to get a movie into the proper format for editing or distribution. Since I have worked with video production for a while I have come across the need to convert video between formats as well as process captured video so it is ready to be edited.

Some of the major tools I used for these purposes are Virtual Dub for video lossless editing and formatting of captured video, TMPGEnc for conversion from AVI to Mpeg1 or Mpeg2, and Xmpeg (formerly Flask Mpeg) for conversion from Mpeg1 or Mpeg2 to AVI.

As mentioned under the multimedia section of my portfolio, I am familiar with the video codecs required for video production to virtually and target platform. This includes Windows AVI and Quicktime codecs. This also includes formats used for the web, streamed or on-demand.

This video is a mockup for an Izusu Amigo commercial. I grabbed the spinning clip from Izusu's website. Everything else was produced by me, except the music.
