Eighteen videos for Proverse Hong Kong, edited by me. I also did the camera and sound for one of them: The Layers Between (see below). Subscribe here.
This was a giant project for me, and I essentially taught myself Lightworks from scratch throughout the process. Gillian Bickley was a marvel, and I'm very grateful to her.

"Did You...?" remastered in HD

2/6/2016

0 Comments

 
A remastered version of a little TEFL song I made a few years ago. It's quite popular with my students (the original has 600 views at the time of writing - not bad for me!). I had shot the original footage in 1080p, but I had edited it on Windows Movie Maker, and so it had suffered a lot of degeneration. I thought I would have a go at remastering the song and colour correcting the video. It's also slightly wider and the subtitles (surtitles?) are better quality. I think the extra width slightly spoils some of the jokes, but maybe I'm just used to the original...
