My Best Friend's Best Friend

This was another timing test working with the editor in "The Movies" software. These's some very precise audio to video timing going on here. It's a nightmare chore in TM and the higher the resolution the worse the timing problems. I finally gave up (the reason there's no dialog for Robert) and edited the entire thing in "Video Explosion Delux" where timing keys can be tagged to a single frame. I'm only posting it so the folks over in TM forums can compare it to the piece of crap clip done with TM and posted over there.

For those of you here trying to produce decent work, I highly recommend Video Explosion Deluxe or one of it's descendants (VED is no longer published but you can still find it on the shelves). It's a powerful editor with a lot of effects that can be used to enhance your videos.

{EDIT} VED is now Sony - Vegas Movie Studio Pro 9

FYI; The "Lionhead Studios" logo animation was done in trueSpace 6.6 using it's physics simulation (as apposed to key frame animation)

Intro music: The Michael Metz Jazz Ensemble "Agnostic Beliefs"
Background music: Bobby Brewer "Who Wants Pie"
(both available free at Download.com in the music category)

ps My apologies to Nicki Attridge (Tonia), She really is a nice actress :)

VED is the working file format for Video Explosion Deluxe. You need to "render" your video to a format like AVI or WMV for YouTube to accept it. Be sure to adhere to YouTube's restrictions on size, run time, and content.

I use Video Explosion Deluxe. How do you post it to YouTube, because I can't get YouTube to take my VED videos. Thanks for your help if you give it

Sorry Ladytshay, as I said, this was a timing test using The Movies software and it was an impossible task. I struggled with syncing Becky's voice and decided it took too much time. When I finally went to Video Explosion Deluxe there was no lip sync for Robert to add.

Obviously he's going some place formal with Tania but being totally disgusted by her continuous drinking he ask's Becky to go with him in her place. Being strictly a test, I wasn't too concerned about telling a story.

Lol. Robert's a mute. Why not add subtitles for him so we at least know what he would have said if he had a voice?
