Post Production

"When you film your band, play the music back over a boombox and have the band lip sync to the recorded music. You might like to perform parts of the song, rather than the whole song at once. When you edit, you can import your recorded sound on one track and the original CD recording on another. Zoom in on the timeline to match audio peaks. Sometimes expanding your image clip by one or two frames will help with sync."

"Editing was a long process. Between Mike and I, we had some really good ideas while editing. The editing time ran somewhere around eleven hours. I put in some stills, filters, and transitions, but I wanted to keep them to a limited number. We used only 3 types of filters (black & white, solarize, and one other that looks like a frame from a newspaper)."

-Tim Miller

"Editing is the phase where you really get to be creative and where you can play with all the raw material. But beware editing is a time consumer!"

-Signe Wagner

"Laying down their music and matching their singing tothe CD proved to be frustrating and time consuming. Working with Adobe Premiere becomes easier when you learn the in's and out's; it makes the video presentable for the public."

-Ally Koch

"The only problem with editing is when you don't have enough footage. We ran into the problem of not having the singer on camera for every verse. When we wanted to showcase the singer during the verse we discovered that we didn't have a closeup for him."

-Katie Carlson

"Editing took awhile. Justin took the beginning of the video and edited that part of it, then I edited the second part of the video, and we collaborated in the middle. We knew what we wanted to accomplish and we trusted each other. It turned out perfect even though we didn't always know what we were doing."
