UCSD TASA - Winter 2011 GBM Film

A continuation of the first GBM's video, watch if you haven't already or it won't really make sense.
Starring the UCSD TASA 2010-11 Executive Board, and filmed + produced by me.

PLEASE watch, as always, in HD fullscreen & in a dark room with your best video and sound output devices.
I highly recommend that, mainly to keep the technical and aesthetic nuances perceivable. (unless youtube compresses this to bits)

I have put every ounce of my energy and thought into each cut in this film. So please enjoy.

[Starring TASA E-board 2010-11. Based on an outline by YueYue Han. Original idea(s) by E-board. Filmed, co-directed & produced by Alexander G. Lin. ]

___________________________________________
Shot with a DSLR and external mic. Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 running parallel to After Effects CS4.

Notes:

Current ver: 1.3 - slight gamma correction, VBR max upped to 15mbps, re-neutralization of several audio peaks.

If possible, next revision - 1.4 - Correct slight audio aberrations. Find lossless versions of songs used. ALSO slow motion several scenes with motion vectors. (skipped in 1.3 for sake of rendering efficiency)

___________________________________________

First time -
using a different filming technique
using mini "artificial lighting"
using adobe after effects in conjunction. gonna work on more dynamic special effects in future, so stay tuned. hell of a learning curve though..
