editing research and linking music to animation


Assassin's Creed: Beautiful Lies


I absolutely love this fan video, found it on youtube and the guy is in my opnion so good at editing. Throughout it he thinks about all different types of camera angles, colour, timing, the music and even using eagle vision in parts for extra effects. 
I think this guy nailed this fan trailer, watching it over and over i notice more and more and its taught me a lot to watch out for and think about, for example- 
The camera angles- so many are used front, long shot, birds-eye, close up, medium shot, so so many. And even better all of them blend together brilliantly. I think the one i like the best is when he uses the two different characters doing the same thing and edits it so they swap between each other when he's walking or whatever. It looks brilliant and using the animus background and synchronising backgrounds is a good idea. 
The colour- animus colours are used which lets the audience relate to ass-assins creed and maybe even if you haven't played it you'll know what it is. Eagle visions used which works good and blends well. Really made me think about colour blending whats mixes, whats eye-catching, what works and links together.
The timing and music- everything in the timings spot on when the beat drops in the song and he falls and it's slowed down. The slash of a sword mixing with a beat, really well done. Also the song fits with everything thats going on in the trailer.

yeah if you cant tell - i bum this video

  1. Wow.. the editing for this video is pretty awesome. They've done a great job putting the clips in sync with the music. It's nicely paced and I love the changes of speed in the clips to follow the music's rhythm.

    Oh and.. I'm so feeling that track! Love it~
