Want to know how to put light sabers in your video?

It’s easy to do, and in this video tutorial, I show you how. I use Apple’s Motion to create the effect, but you can do it in many different applications, using a technique called “rotoscoping.”

Izzy Video 071 – What to Wear and What Not to Wear

November 18, 2007

Colors change when viewed through a video camera. This means we have to be careful with what we wear in video. In this episode, Noell and I review several principles for dressing for a video shoot. We cover colors as well as other items.

Correction: I realized after viewing the video that I implied patterns always cause a “MoirĂ© Pattern”. That’s not what I intended to say. It CAN cause it, but it certainly doesn’t ALWAYS cause it. Sorry about the confusion.

This new video tutorial is about avoiding clicks and pops in the audio portion of your video. I have had several people ask me why they have “click” sounds in their videos. Usually this happens during transitions, and this tutorial should help you avoid those problems in the future.

Get this tutorial along with access to all of the archives, in the members area.

Izzy Video 069 – Motion Filters

November 6, 2007

I’ve received a lot of positive feedback about previous tutorials on Apple’s Motion. I thought it might make sense to release another one.

Filters are a very powerful aspect inside Motion. In this tutorial I briefly describe some of the ways you can use filters and also delve a little into the content that is included with the application Motion.
