    Man it's so refreshing to see RUclips videos that have some actual craftsmanship involved. I'm an editor and only have one client right now and the only notes I ever get are, "Need subtitles here" and "retention feels low here," and then doesn't care that his lav is peaking like crazy like 80% of the time

    • @EricLefebvrePhotography
      @EricLefebvrePhotography 4 месяца назад +29

      I love the clients that want to increase retention but have low retention content start with or don't have enough footage or useable footage to even make a good edit with.

    I'm a bit of a generalist can do it all to various levels of proficiency.
    I do sound desing for indie stuff every now and again and people just don't understand what's involved with post prod audio and only the barest of consideration is made to production sound and then they panic asking if I can fix it.
    By the way, a VST plugin I found that I love to quickly mix diagetics (sounds that exist in the world vs sounds that only the viewer hears) is PlaceIt by Soundly. Totally free and great. You can set the sound source, room reverb profile and it has a wall slider to make the sounds sound like they are coming through a wall or other ubstruction.
    It's also heart warming to see someone UNDERSTAND THAT AN EDITORS JOB IS DIFFICULT AND IMPORTANT.
    Props to Daniel for this.

    I only dipped my toes into video editing, and one of the first things I discovered is that it is sound that brings everything to life. Can't underestimate how much immersion good sound design creates. You can have crappy, grainy visuals, but good sound, and you can still capture your audience. But if you have great visuals and crappy sound - all the magic dissapears.

    6:33 they specified sound design. But didn’t truly dive deep into why they removed the SFX in the original dialogue.
    They added muffle for the knocking to establish distance.
    But after establishing distance. There wasn’t a need to keep up the muffled dialogue. What was more important was the CLARITY in what he was saying.
    We already have the distance in a few seconds of muffle. Now it’s time to focus on what he said.
    Hope this helps!
    TLDR: clarity is more important realism

    I love the tip at the beginning with the music. I'm a music guy and not really a video guy, does final cut have a convolution reverb plugin, or a reverb plugin in general? A reverb with a really short tail or a convolution with a small room impulse would also make the music sound like it was "in the room" and also get a sense of space

    7:32 I appreciate a good transition, but in the final version, i would prefer the second shot of the door to be brigther or had the same light as the environment as the first shot, because tbh the wall is way whiter than the second scene, and the pan doesn't convince me that that is a real camera pan or slide effect, since the second camera movement is a slide to right move. it took me out of the scene for a bit because the light did not conti, maybe you should put some gradient of darker color on the wall to make the transition mor eseamless
    or i a single wide shot of the door then cut to the door handle shaking would be enough
