Editing Garden Art 2

The First thing i wanted to do was to create a cut out logo with video behind for this project. i tried various way such as using text mask in after effects which i learned how to do from this video: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/short-and-suite/making-text-masks-in-after-effects/
But after trying that i felt that the text wasn't as crisp as i would have liked so i decided to chroma key the text out and place the text on the layer on top of the video. (i created the text in photoshop to make colour keying easier).
Below are 3 different logos i tried.







The next thing i did was to colour correct the video using RGB curves. i like to colour correct using RGB curves as i feel i have more control over the colours. This meant i could make the sky bluer and the trees greener making them stand out more and look more clear as can be seen in the pictures below.













After completing the colour correction i then re watched the video changing a few minor parts and then exported and uploaded the video which you can see in a previous post.

Using GoPro in non-action events.

Something i've been interested in for a while is the use of GoPro Action Cams in dramas, music videos etc... i've previously seen shots in things like Breaking Bad and have even used my own GoPro in my last drama for POV shots and low ground shots.
This morning i came across a music video by The D.O.T which is shot almost entirely on a GoPro Hero 3. the video consists of the two members of the group walking around the streets of Birmingham, videoing themselves singing along to the song and throwing the camera in the air. this gives a good view of the surroundings and is something very original. This has made me re-think the use of the GoPro and think of different ways i could use mine.
below are some screen shots from the music video. The whole thing can be watched here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqrliWEYIko
