Some of the covers were played in different keys, and at different tempos, and I had a really tough time putting them together in a way that I liked. On top of that, I was using Final Cut 7 to edit it together and was running into all kinds of rendering troubles.
So I abandoned that idea and came up with this instead. I found the Friends clips on YouTube, downloaded them, picked out the most random song, and spent a decent amount of time making sure all the movement matched up to the beat of the song.
I noticed there are a couple other videos similar to this on YouTube, but I'm proud of how this one turned out; I think it's a worthy addition. Plus, who doesn't love Friends and Duck Sauce?
I've already got an idea for my next video that will be very different from this one, in just about every way. And I'm still looking around for ideas for my third video.
Brilliant. Great rhythm with the edits, too, totally syncs up. Nice work, Kenny!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! how did you find all the dancing clips?
ReplyDeleteI just did a search on YouTube for something like "Friends dancing" until I found the videos I wanted.
DeleteNice video! I love the guys dancing in the beginning. How did you make it so that/did it just come naturally that their dancing went to the beat? Or is it just a pretty universal beat?
ReplyDeleteI was pretty lucky that they matched up and I didn't have to adjust the speed of the clips. I just tried to line it up as best I could in Final Cut, which took some fine cutting.
DeleteThis looks so good! Great job matching up the clips and the song
