Trapcode Sound Keys

By using Trapcode Sound Keys plug-in for After Effects, you can separate 3 frequency ranges from a single audio track. In this example, each effect is linked to the Bass, Mids, and Highs which allows perfect effect/audio synch.

Canon Mark II HD Video Test

After I got the Canon 5D Mark II, I’ve been shooting non-stop! Finally, I’m forcing myself to update my page. Here’s a quick look at what I’ve been up to. A foggy day, Downtown, San Francisco. I was doing a test recording and this song came on (J-Boogie – Oceanic Lullaby). Fit the mood perfectly. One Take, no edits, double speed.

Keylight, Green Screen, Godzilla!

My favorite keying plug-in for After Effects is Keylight (1.2)
Note: Keylight is not automatically installed. It is included in the third-party software option on the install disk for FREE.
