24 like Intro – creating still frame
Hi everyone,
This one is kinda interesting. I am doing a project with some interns about competency alignment (*yawn*) and they are want to make it more fun by adding a 24 hours type flavor to it. The main question I have is regarding the still frame (see first 10 secs https://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi1611661337/) they use to introduce new characters in 24. (See when they introduce Abu Fayed). They want to introduce the team like this and then have each still go into a hollywood square/brady bunch type grid for the intro.
This may sound dumb but should I do this in FCP or Motion. I haven’t tried this in quite some time and, as I remember, when you create a still in FCP, it looks rather funky. Is my experience antiquated or is there just a better method to produce the same result?
Any advice out there? I’ve been doing some pretty straight forward cutting and I am going to need to dive into doing some pretty creative graphics/vid effects for this one.
Thanks again in advance..
Patty

Shoot.
Hm. try again?
https://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi1611661337/
cut and paste it?
If not –its at IMBD 24 (the series) 10:00AM-11:00AM
but you could google any 24 episode and you’d get the gist of what I mean..
Thanks

Hi Patty,
I get a message telling that the video is not available in this country.
I’ll try a Google.
Cheers,

Regardless of the link working or not, on the question of making a still and an intro like 24’s, you could definitely do it in either FCP or Motion. The Optical Flow technology in Motion might leave it a little bit better, and would be relatively quick and easy to do. But FCP should work just fine, too. Shift-N will create the still, and if there’s very much motion going on a deinterlace filter will fix it right up for you. Then just keyframe your effects, and good to go. Cheap, quick and easy. Now I’m off to check the link and make sure I’m making sense 🙂
