Kirk Rende's videos

I enjoy creating Sailor Moon videos. My inspiration was William Milberry of Aluminum Studios.

For the older videos, I used Ulead Mediastudio. More recently, I've used Sony's Vegas Video. I didn't particularly like the trial I did with Adobe Premiere.

I try to follow some basic guidelines when I make a video:

(1) Put more effort into the video than just pasting clips onto audio tracks.

(2) Sync the video to the beat of the song.

(3) Try and use background or normal-identity clips other than the flashy transformations and attacks in order to illustrate the character.

(4) Add value to the video by creating new clips when possible.

(5) Try to sync lip movements when it is the character that is supposed to be talking to the viewer.

Using these guidelines, I hope you will find my videos more enjoyable than the run-of-the-mill cut-and-pasters.
