Video Editing lookup:

I have been looking around on the internet to try and find something that is professionally done but yet you can see how the shots are planned out and where the editing has been sneakily used (but not too sneakily or we wouldnt see it) - I uncovered this gem here




You can clearly see in the first few shots how editing has been used to create a specific effect - when he is getting ready the camera shots have been continued from specific 'Powerful' points (for instance, you dont see him walking to a table , getting his shoes, seperating them, undoing the straps, putting his foot in and then only strapping them on again... You just see him with his foot in, closing the strap with passion - Giggidy!)

On later scenes we see where scene props (Does a puff of steam count as a prop?) need editing to create the effect intended. The lighting was also very well done in this clip - it remained dark and eery (like all famous batman movies) yet you could clearly see what was going on.

I found a nice example of a lighting technique in 'Cracking animation - Peter lord & Brian Sibley' - here are a few photocopies.















Please feel free to click on the pictures to enlarge them and get a better view.
All is explained in the black and white pic.

I shall now wrap it up and say this look into editing has wanted me to play around with lighting more... and how fortunate am I that the animation lecture today was about creating lighting. lucky, lucky , lucky - I must definitely be a sign.
