Equipment & Resources

We will be shooting the video masters in QuickTime h.264 720p on a Sanyo Xacti 700HD camcorder, which records directly to SD card. This will allow us to easily transfer the files to computers for editing and keep file sizes down, enabling easy portability of the videos on Flash Drives etc. whilst still maintaining a high quality of video.

Our rough cut will be done in Adobe Premier on a Dell PC in order to give us a general idea of how the video looks & how the timings match up between the song and the footage. This rough cut will be used as a basis for the final cut, which will include more advanced transitions, effects & so on as well as more fine tuned cuts etc.

The final cut will be made in Final Cut Express 4 on a 15" Unibody MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. This will give us industry-standard editing quality and truly professional effects as well as export options. The MacBook's hardware will enable speedy render times, which will make the creation & export procedure faster & simpler.
