Cooking Show: CLEAR production
Yum yum…
I’ve been working at the University of North Texas in the CLEAR department for over a year now. While working there I’ve been given a number of tasks while I've been an Audio Visual Assistant. I’ve shot a lot of online classes and spent a lot of time editing these with Final Cut Pro and Motion. Lately, due to repetition and prior knowledge of these editing applications my editing time has been greatly reduced. I can edit a class in a fraction of the time it took me to edit one before. When I first started using Final Cut Pro I spent a few days attempting to learn how to use the Multi-Camera editing feature. It didn’t take me long to do so, but I never really had a need to seriously apply it, until recently. A lot of the videos that I edit in the CLEAR department contain a number of different angles on the same subject or material. Rather it be a PowerPoint presentation
and a presenter or a classroom instruction with a number of different angles. I had for the longest time just gone back and forth between the two to pick out my angles, but with this last project I had decided to actually try and apply the Multi-Camera feature to my editing. It took me a bit to figure it out, but after awhile of troubleshooting I was able to cut between a number of different angles in this cooking show quickly and finish the project in no time.
What was cool about the Cooking show is that we brought in what we dubbed our special effects camera and set it up over the stove as our chef was cooking and over the island to get some really neat shots. It turned out really neat in the end and became a 45-minute show, with 6 parts, for students to browse through for one of their classes. The house that we shot in was really nice for a home in Denton and the kitchen was completely decked out. Just recently our department procured 2 new HD Panasonic 150 cameras and a number of lenses. So I imagine in the next few months we’ll start pumping out a few HD programs, which I’m really excited about.
