Ooh, been a minute since I posted here eh? I put out an album, but who cares, Didneylan babyy!
Made over a weekend immediately following the trip its about, this video was a promise to my friends in return for going to another theme park. Infamously, Kidneyworld took me 3-4 months of on-and-off work, and I did not want that to be the case again. Ultimately most of the dirty editing work was concentrated into one day, with an extra day for stuff like working out how to do the motion tracked titles for the opening in After Effects, which were certainly a first.
Speaking of firsts! This was the first video project I’ve ever done entirely without Sony Vegas! It was all Premiere Pro, so evidently I’m moving up in the world.
There are also two instances of Adobe Audition audio manipulation in there, I used the mashup skills I got from that album to change the songs I was using. Me_and_Julio_Down_By_the_Schoolyard.mid has a wind-down effect to accompany the implication that Walibi is not necessarily a theme park for radical teens. And Lion_Sleeps_Tonight.mid slowly pitch-shifts down in an unsettling way to accompany the ousting of Matthew Whitehurst by the media.
Fun Facts:
- Those motion tracked titles were a horrible mistake!
- The dirty secret is that Kidneyland 1 was called Kidneyworld.
- No one would ever check this unless they read it here.
