The use of black and white really helps to set off this very funny video, which includes such disparate things as a rabbit with surgical bandages, a floating clock, and self-deprecating voice-over talent. http://media.videomaker.com/content/video/contest-winners/2003/streaming.flv 213 2004-02-01T08:00:53-08:00 2006-10-20 http://www.videomaker.com/video/watch/contest-winners/2003/43/best-music-video/ http://static.videomaker.com/content/images/contest-winners/2003/music.jpg Music Video Shows How to Express Emotion Through Video Title: Tears in the Rain Prize: Trilab Digital Hotcakes Grand Slam ($579) Producer: Rob Roy, Hudson, NH Camcorder: Sony DCR-TRV330 Editor: Adobe Premiere 6.5 DVD authored with Ulead DVD Movie Factory Here's a case for the use of video as therapy: Rob Roy is a singer-songwriter who wrote Tears in the Rain to express his feelings after his father passed away.

Dale Whiting worked with Michael Fleming on last year's Second Prize winner, Acron7m. It's a very funny tale of two dueling dads who find themselves at opposite ends of a changing table, tending to their respective infants' needs while competing with each other. http://media.videomaker.com/content/video/contest-winners/2003/comedy.flv 130 2004-02-01T08:00:55-08:00 2006-10-20 http://www.videomaker.com/video/watch/contest-winners/2003/45/best-drama-action-video/ http://static.videomaker.com/content/images/contest-winners/2003/drama.jpg Best Drama Video "Critical Mass" Shows Missile Crisis Title: Critical Mass Prize: Varizoom StealthZoom and Studio Style Kit ($699) Producer: Keith Kooiman, Chaska, MN Camcorder: Sony DCR-TRV25 Editor: Adobe Premiere The first of two warfare-related winners this year, Critical Mass depicts two acquaintances who find themselves on different sides of a small nuclear device.

While the utility of a Road Kill Grill may be limited depending on whether one was in an urban, suburban or rural area, the video does a great job of 'selling' the product. http://media.videomaker.com/content/video/contest-winners/2003/2nd.flv 293 2004-02-01T08:00:57-08:00 2006-10-20 http://www.videomaker.com/video/watch/contest-winners/2003/47/first-prize/ http://static.videomaker.com/content/images/contest-winners/2003/1st.jpg Surreal "The Ending" Wins First Prize in 2003 Videomaker Contest Title: The Ending Prize: Ulead MediaStudio Pro 7 and DVD Workshop ($990) Producer: Steve Murphy, Choudrant, LA Camcorder: Canon XL1s Editor: Adobe Premiere 6.0 How do you know it's time to panic? When the video that you just rented from the corner store features video of you, on the couch, witnessing some very strange goings on. The Ending depicts such a video. A second camcorder, mounted above the television, is the secret to the surreal submission. http://media.videomaker.com/content/video/contest-winners/2003/1st.flv 298 2004-02-01T08:00:58-08:00 2006-10-20 http://www.videomaker.com/video/watch/contest-winners/2003/48/grand-prize/ http://static.videomaker.com/content/images/contest-winners/2003/grand.jpg "The Order" Wins Grand Prize in 2003 Videomaker Contest Title: The Order Prize: Panasonic PV-GS70 Mini DV Camcorder ($999) Producers: Andrew Watson and Josh Camerota, West Chester, PA Camcorders: Sony DCR-VX1000, Canon GL1 Editor: Adobe Premiere The basis of a class project depicting a war short, The Order was shot in wintertime on Super 8 film and Mini DV.

While we easily forgive friends or even clients as they repeat this misnomer, there is a certain underlying expectation that is hard to quantify. Projects shot with film simply look better. In most cases, the look that only film offers is synonymous with quality, large-budget productions.

This type of audio has narration that cuts through music, sound effects and noise. It just sounds impressive. But while tweaking the audio levels on your latest video project, you just don't seem to be able to get that same great sound. What's the secret?

In our example, the motion menu will play back for 30 seconds, and the specifications will be NTSC format, using a 4:3 aspect ratio. For this tutorial, we will be creating a typical "main menu" from a feature-length movie project. The menu itself will display a 30-second clip from our movie, as well as three buttons for navigation. The three buttons will be Play Program, Scene Selection and Bonus Features.

I like to use Visual FX to enhance the story I am trying to tell. If they have a purpose, make the shot look better and help tell a story, why not use them, right? The problem is that many people don't know where to start. A few years ago, I was one of those people. However, by learning some Visual FX, I am now gearing up for my next film - a story I've been wanting to tell, but previously could not because I did not have the budget or knowledge of Visual FX. By learning a few Visual FX, I can now tell this story while keeping my budget extremely low. Therein lies the beauty of Visual FX: helping you tell your exciting story while keeping your budget low.

It is commonly called Day for Night (DFN), and you can spot it in films like It's a Wonderful Life, Planet of the Apes and Jaws; documentaries like The Creation of the Universe; and, of course, the French film, Day for Night. At times, the effect is obvious; at others, it is not. But today's camcorders are able to shoot in very low light. Those with infrared capabilities can even make some subjects visible in pitch black. So why would you want to fake it by shooting in the day to simulate the look of night?

Pan-and-scan is an effective technique used in photo montages and presentations in order to make the viewing experience more interesting. Techniques such as panning and zooming allow for movement of still images across the video frame. These techniques, when done correctly, are pleasing to the eye and make the video less... well... boring. This tutorial looks at some of these techniques using Adobe After Effects.
