Adobe After Effects

Throughout editing we have noticed a few shots that we felt needed editing in Adobe After Effects to improve them. Once we had our final cut Gavin, who is experienced in using After Effects, made the changes to these shots.

The shots we wanted to change

Opening Shot

Using the shoulder mount and the quick camera movement resulted in the opening shot being very shaky. Gavin used the 'Stabilise Motion' tool to fix this.

Nintendo 64 & Tape Shot

Both the track backs of the Nintendo 64 and the pile of tape were shaky, and the floor was dirty with rips in it. Because we shot these shots the same way we were able to fix them in very similar ways. Below is a video of Gavin talking through how he adjusted the Nintendo 64 shot.

We are very happy with the way these shots turned out as they greatly improve the quality of our video.
