LUXOR Video edit

First full version of LUXOR at the Lowry is completed and being rendered as I sit typing this BLOG.

Intense editing: with more to do, the version viewable later today will be just over 15 min, there is some footage I still want in that is likely to run it up to around 20 mins.

The reason for stopping this edit is to release me to other jobs sat stacking up and to allow me to reflect at this piece of work before I sit back down finally to finish it, too much of the same and I loose the feel for it.

I was asked to cover a new designer’s debut at London Fashion Week so I will be spending some time relaxing and working on that before pushing on again next week to complete LUXOR visits the LOWRY.

MY Vision
In putting this footage together I started with an intro to build up some atmosphere, the actual show was one hour long, to get this into a format that was manageable and grabbing I selected a number of sequences from the original sound mix and had an idea to edit these together, so I stopped and pondered on this.

While editing the footage into something interesting I felt uneasy editing the sound, especially Williams mix myself I know he spend a week on this and I didn’t want to be carving it up so I chose the first section and mated to that elements of the show that worked best with it.

The show is a piece of art evolving well that is my thoughts of it so the video rather than be commercial and lots of angles and effects has been created as if you were there watching it, starting with a blank canvas and the end a finished piece of work, everything in between the journey.

The mix remains pretty much unchanged apart from the intro I shortened, so for the final footage I need a fresh head and to work out which section will best tether in while I want the end to remain as it is now.... my thinking cap is on.

So the main timeline is full with video, on the night there was a second camera that roamed with me capturing video footage from different angles, this will get added to the timeline as it is now in small sections to add a different perspective... well that’s my plan.

Those are my thoughts as I worked on this project and as I close LUXOR off for now, .... To be continued
