I like that as well. especially the dripping down the glass sheet into a transition
Organic/analog interesting ways to get a metaphor across.

Or…
The CU of milker is filling glasses and handing them down a line of recieving people. Shot pulls back to see a line of 8 or 10 children of all different ethnicities holding up their glasses…big smile
“Milk…when it absolutely needs to get there”
Yadda yadda.

this sounds like alot of fun. Good luck with it.

understood-
Yes the talking head video is only at the beginning and end.
Other than that it is only the slide that is on the track/screen.
VO is recorded here in the studio as they do a pseudo presentation from another PPT computer.

So Guess thats what I’m doing now already right. But still not really crisp. Hmmm

Yes I see…
the globe…Cliche’ Yes…
However it does symbolize “global” as we know it.
How about getting a large globe and film it pretty close (so you cant see the tippy top)..while it is spinning fairly slowly at about a 2 second revolution…. then slowly pour about a gallon of elmers glue over the top.
The result is cliche’ with an unexpected punch.
The glue (as opposed to milk) will slowly run down making interesting runs and evetually encompass the whole globe with big luscious drips.
Dark blue space like backdrop and lit more on one side than the other…for shadows, sun simulation.

takes about 10- 12 seconds or 5-6 spins. then zoom into white glue that becomes you first transition into presentation.
“Blah blah blah.. got cow..got global distribution ?!?!”

I tend to shoot “real effects” as opposed to predictable CG store bought animations
Its cool because where else could you get something like that.

CLICHE’…WITH A ONE TWO PUNCH.

Questions…
1-They already have a background of their choice so where does the black one you mention come into play.

You say “De-interlace”. If they are PNG’s…Arent they already deinterlaced or progressive static images. When I select properties they are already in progressive mode.
I believe for CRT distribution they will end up being interlaced lower field first anyways so you dont get progressive stutter.
Please clarify your process for I am interested in your methods/results.
Thanks

I know.
Any thoughts on whether its “Non-english” fonts or do they include other oddities.
I’ve learned that its not random.
I’ll take the (long) time to get rid of the offending fonts if it was really just Non english fonts.
Any relation to whether it is non “truetype” or “open”

I dont have issues with the free ones from “Dafont.com”

Action spy music (mission impossible meets james bond)with
Extreme close up of milk being poured from one container to another, manipulated with a silver shaft(spoon handle)
then a brown mixture being added in slow-mo.(chocolate)
the container lifting slowly etc…
All the intricacies involved….Video effects, filters, color shifts
Do a little Willie Wonka candy creation,Rube Goldburgh type stuff
then a pull away to see a red-headed 5 yr old lowering a glass of tasty chocolate milk with a big chocolate milk stain around her lips. she licks her lips and cracks a big smile with two missing front teeth.
Voila! Everything is not as it seems and smiles around.

The object is to give the impression of large machinery and product being manipulated, moved from machine to machine, progressing and confusing the viewer to what is really going on. eventually give it away as a young childs perspective of making a tall cool glass of chocolate milk.
The metaphor…Getting the milk is relative to the consumer.
The end result is getting the milk this beautiful child ,getting that irresistable smile that no parent can be without.

I bet you’ll get a response that will loosen any stuffed shirt.
Tell me what you think

I have succesfully installed and run vegas.
The well traded and used “render test” .veg came in at a whopping 23 seconds. I didnt get to use it extensively but I did put it thru the paces for about 2 hrs without a hiccup.
I’m thinking about going that route myself in the future.
