  • Recommend effects for a Viking themed camp video?

    Posted by Paul Boone on May 5, 2010 at 9:01 pm

    I just got the latest upgrade of final cut studio with Final Cut Pro 7, but I’m still a bit new to Final Cut.

    I’m making a camp promo video for a game with a Viking theme. Are there are any cool effects or things I can use to make the video look more Viking-like?

    Thanks

    Plenty of font options for something runic-looking. Apple Motion’s “content” section will have various pieces of art that will work, a swell as flame for torches, smoke and paint throw effects that you can color red to make into blood spatters. Find parchment textures and vignette the heck out of them for backgrounds.

    Or did you mean the Minnesota NFL team?

    Only if you are going for camp. Real Vikings never wore those silly hats. Imagine just how difficult it would be to rape & pillage with such unwieldy headgear.

    Much of the look should be done with costume and set dressing. Pick blondes or red heads.

    I think Mark’s suggestion is the best…

    Give them a full on Thor-gasm of Motion content. They’ll love it.
