I hesitate to put this up for two reasons:

1. This is a work-in-progress. So, it is not yet a complete piece. But, better to get feedback now rather than later.

2. There's so much great stuff posted here, I get intimidated...

Anyway,

For the past year or so, I've been concentrating more on audio production, having learned Ableton Live and now getting my feet wet with Pro Tools. In the process, I produced several tracks for others. And recently, I recorded and mixed my own. The next logical step was to put it all to video.

This piece encompasses some 33 years' worth of footage, going back to my days at NYU. Basically, it's a whole lotta "me" with some New York City thrown in the background: Baby Boomer Bell Curve

Feel free to rant. I've got my combat helmet on!

Here's a short video of a family break at CenterParcs at Elveden Forest in the UK.

Andy,

This is one of the few music videos that I can say I honestly enjoyed watching.  The morphing of the age of a few people, mixed with the black & white to color fading was just enough not to be too cheezy.  I think you did a great job mixing stills and video together as well.  The audio was very clear with great timing.

Guess I've ranted enough.

I'm very partial to music vids, that was excellent,Loved the song as well, just can't get the strap line out of my head now!

Dean, brought back some nice memories of when I took my family back in 1980 something!

Strat, Dave,

Thanks!! I had a lot of fun with this project and learned some more about Liquid in the process.

Ok here is a short piece of mine

It was done for a friend and extracted from a longer video of this trip. Generously he offered one week on the boat for auction for our local north western charity Cancer Care. He had hoped to raise £6000 as a reserve but this piece was played out before the auction to an audience of 250 people on a 103 inch Panasonic Plasma screen, where it looked fantastic. It raised £12750, and prompted the winning bidder to vote, so I was very pleased.

Hope you like.

Dave

 This is a trailer for a longer production for a local GAA (Irish Traditional Sport and general culture) Club.  I shot it on a Sony Z1U in HDV and obviously edited with Liquid and compressed it for youtube with Sorenson Squeeze 5.  Personally I am quite happy with how it turned out.  Although after compressing with Sorenson certain shots were darker than the original.  I would recommend watching it in High Quality. 

 Cheers!
