Stickmen: The Movie - Proof of Concept

Adobe Premier has this neat little feature called Multi-Camera Edit, which basically lets you switch camera angle by just doing one mouse click. I have some footage of a UCI concert that was filmed by two cameras, so I lined them up in Premier, and played around with this feature. Here is the result:



I think it turned out pretty good, though frankly, the switching back and forth is not that visually interesting. Though it is about FIFTY times more interesting than a single, static camera shot, it's not quite what I hoped it would be. To muddy the thinking further, it just so happened that one of the cameras was being moved around during this particular song, which makes "Camera A" a more interesting than it is for the rest of the show. This song is not really representative of the rest of the concert for this reason.

Still, it was a fun little experiment, and really didn't take much time at all to put together. There really aren't that many concerts where we shot with multiple cameras, but there are a couple. Should make for some interesting editing opportunities.


Oh, and we finished recording the new album too.
