AGE UE-Zedas The Little Flying Draco

First time assembling a Gundam AGE series model. And this-Zedas, is by far the coolest mobile suit in the series.(in my opinion.) I used the same color scheme i did with my OVERFLAG-Chrome+Metallic black...The effect is still that stagerring. Here is a gallery of the little draco.

My FCPX maiden work

         Its been really a while since I last wrote a blog about myself. Well, life's really busy. Busy with lots of events in my Institute. The chairperson of school anniversary, Designer of loads of posters and videos. But there's a special achievement that i really enjoy.

Two months ago i downloaded Final Cut Pro X. Many professional editor claimed it to be "unprofessional", or just an iMovie Pro. For me it's the beginning of my advanced video-editing. User-friendly layout, loads of functions, effects, transitions, titles make my day.



The Project: "Christmas Party Promotional Video"

I'm not clear about the works beforehand. 
Before asked to be the video-editor, i knew nothing much except it's some story based on <Mr and Mrs Smith>. And the two main actors are our school's freshmen.
The video-recording man's our school's Photography Club's President. 
He's someone who you can really trust. Every of his recording works are greatly done.

Yea, all of these are brilliant source for my FCPX maiden edit-work. I get to test-out color filters that i've learnt via many online sources (thanks to FinalCutking on Youtube for all his tutorials)
Here are some of the concepts worth considering before applying filters:

Emotional:[Dark]    make it blue or bluish green.
Action:[Moderate light]   Make it yellowish green with some bleach bypass.
NightClub:[Darken the shadows] Orange
Romantic:[Really bright] make it a bit yellow

It was not smooth at first. The RAW files are massive. My Macbook (2009model) can't stand the "original media" import. It lags like hell until i changed it to proxy playback and proxy media import.

After hours and days of work with the director, the video's finally published!



Quite satisfied, as this is my maiden FCPX work. Really great response from freshmens and seniors who watched it.


I'm not sure with my own video-editing career's future. But being a medical student, this' just gonna be my hobby instead. 






Done.
