Muck About

Postby ace of kev » Feb 3rd, '06, 09:10



Yey! I got my DV cam working properly, so I decided to film a few things :lol: I know the Asher Twist is rubbish in this vid, but anyway.......

Kev's Muck About

So what do you think?

Edit: I also need good editing software, anybody know any good ones?

In school right now so I can't watch it yet. I'll watch it when I get back home.

As for editing software, I recommend Sony Vegas. Some may recommend that Adobe program (forgot the name).

If you run XP then Movie Maker is perfectly good unless you want to get really fancy - it does titles, credits, transitions, etc...

Yeah, I use those for quickies. But for something unique, I would use Sony Vegas.

Yeah I run XP, but I want something better than Movie Maker. I have this editing software that came with my cam, but its pretty crappy :wink:

I'll ask my Dad to see what he has :D

Anyway, what do you think of the vid?

Just saw it. Quite a nice vid there Kev. Work on the Asher Twist and get a better angle on it to make it less obvious.

The Ego change, try to put your right hand lower so to cover the "pass" action.

Yeah, I know about the Asher Twist. Its fine in real life, but I wasn't watching the screen and only noticed it after I had saved it and uploaded it :(

Thanks for the tip on the Ego. I'm having some difficulty with this working 100% of the time, as sometimes I do more than one (If you know what I mean. I don't want to give too much away. If you would be able to help me Stevebo, could I PM you?)

Thanks :D

I learnt it from watching the demo of it and from watching Stevebo's vid.

So I guess its a kind of 'Kev' version :lol:

I'm asking nicely PLEASE try and make sure that txt speak is NOT used on the forum and at least have an attempt at decent spelling.

well i suggest you use a spell checker program before you post OR some posts may find themselves missing

Cool stuff Kev. The Asher Twist was kind of a give-away though, as has already been said, (I didn't know how that worked untill I saw this :? ).

But cool thoroughly enjoyed!

i thought it wasn't bad - the asher twist, as has been said, needs a bit of work. But still, well done my fellow!
