As you know, I have recently been in Oklahoma filming the
world’s largest paintball event, DDAY Oklahoma. I am back in Florida now, in
the beginning stages of editing the footage from the week-long paintball event.
I have completed at short trailer for the event here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-4g75GGvP0&list=UUVxmnmN3iCSmQsOL10a76IQ&index=5&feature=plcp
This trailer is just a small taste of what is to come in
following months of editing. I plan on creating a video for each day of
paintballing. Right now I am working on a rough cut for the second day of play.
I have decided to make each of these videos different. I want each of them to
have their own flavor.
For the video of the second day, I have decided to make it
look and feel like a first person shooter style video game. I am in the process
of creating a H.U.D. with Adobe After Effects. I am using some of the design
ideas from the games Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty. I want to make the viewer
feel like they are a part of the game. I have mounted two cameras on myself,
one on my head and the other on the front of my gun aimed back at my face. I
plan on cutting between these two points of view to keep the flow of the edit
interesting.
Some of the ideas that I want to incorporate in this video
are to have friend or foe identification for other players. I am going to have
blue and red symbols above people’s heads to help identify the teams. I am
going to have ammo and air counters in the corner of the screen. After I add
these layers to my edit I will work on color correction and find some music
that will work well with this video.
