Edit Preview

This is a very small preview of a snowboarding edit that I plan to make with my friend Max Salzman. Though this is only one clip, I have used a lot of new and old film editing techniques. This was shot at Liberty ski resort with a go pro HD hero at 60fps and at 720p resolution. This specific trick Max Salzman is doing is just a method but I thought the lighting was good so I decided to make an edit out of it to potentially use as an intro for him. Max and I have both been snowboarding for a long time and will both appear in the edit that I hope to have done by the end of spring break. I edited this using After Effects Cs6, FCPX, and Magic bullet looks. I first edited this in aftereffects because I wanted to use the slow motion program Twixtor to slow the shot down and make it look epic. I also created the film burn effect you see during the slow motion in After Effects that was harder then I anticipated. I then brought the clip over to FCPX to do the color correction and the title. For the color correction I made it slightly harsher then I normally would just to play around with how the footage handled it. I will definitely change it for the actual edit. The title is just a simple fade in of his name that I got off of one of the preset titles there are in FCPX. I will be going snowboarding multiple times in the next few weeks to gain more footage and I am excited to seriously start working on this project.
