I do have a question though. What were those symbols at the end? And was that just me, or did I see a faded image of Jesus doing a peace sign?

could you please share your encoding methods to get outstanding quality. also could you explain your process of editing and what settings were used. not to apply effects but the general capture to final product uploaded. Software used and codecs etc....

thank you in advance. it looked really good

I agree... this info would be helpful.

Cheers,
Dennis.

@jerrod - the symols are the logos from the company i work, my logo for the non-commercial artsy-stuff, and the logo from the graphicdesiger i work with...

...and ehh yes there is an image of jesus. i was looking for an old book on the
flewmarket and there i found this 100year old Bible...

@trent - its just h264 single pass 5000Kbit/s...IMO the best codec arround those days...
not shure what u exatly want to know else...4 cam settings look at the previous
posts in this thread...finalcut was just normal hdv capture & timline.
so if u still have a specific question - feel free 2ask

great work. loved the folded paper look. is this something you filmed and just matted out or is it a product that can be found/bought? also the time remapping and camera shakes were these done in FCP or After Effects?

Sound Effects - i hear a slide projector or is that a page turning (either way i like it)? also what music are you using for this piece? sorry for all the questions but i really liked the style and is generating tons of ideas....

excellent work my friend:-)

nice editing gr8 video quality :), was this shot HD or HDV

@ zach - the texture is filmed and overlayed in composite mode...like written
earlyer in this thread its all done in fcp...the sound is the actual noise of turning paper.

@ monish - it is filmed with the xha1..so its hdv.

really nice compositions, colors and cutting. It's great to see what can be done with a little ingenuity and imagination. you should take this style and situation and try to build a story around it, could be cool as a 5 min short.

@nick -thanks- ...a little short is exactly what we are doing right now, but with an other style and location. it's the first test also with our new 35mm adapter because i have to shoot a commercial in two weeks. btw speaking from nice locations and compositions...very nice work in your abstract short also!
