Looking good! Keep 'em coming. How cool that you compose and sing songs too.]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2017 16:57:48 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6151-another-firsttimer--music-vid-at-sleazys.aspx Message from PatMarrNC rollasoc wrote:

all right! Another creative kindred spirit! Welcome to the forum, and I look forward to seeing your work and interaction here!

When videos contain original music, it always ramps up my appreciation level considerably!]]> Sat, 14 Jan 2017 12:39:07 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6151-another-firsttimer--music-vid-at-sleazys.aspx Message from PatMarrNC @Pat I normally take part in two online songwriting events each year - FAWM (February Album Writing Month) and 50/90 (which runs through the summer)
I've been on music forums since the 90s but somehow I've resisted the urge to try FAWM or 50/90. But, there's still time...

and I've found that people there also tend to be creative across multiple media (lyricists are often wannabe novelists; a lot of the musicians dabble in video) - it must be a trait of the amateur creative.

I have observed the same thing in all of the creative forums I frequent


This community is a little less active than the songwriting ones (probably due to the relative work involved in producing something finished), but it seems to have the same level of camaraderie. Looking forward to getting more involved.

I attribute that to the fact that DAWS became widespread 20 years ago, but affordable animation software is a fairly recent development. Therefore the music groups have had more time to build a user base. Also, this forum represents users of ONE animation software package, whereas FAWM and 50/90 are populated by a cross section of all DAW software users.

and yeah, I encourage you to get involved in the Muvizu community. Fresh new ideas are good for everybody.]]> Sat, 14 Jan 2017 12:36:46 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6151-another-firsttimer--music-vid-at-sleazys.aspx Message from rollasoc PurpleDrazi wrote:

@roroduck Thanks for taking a look at my video. It's always encouraging to know someone took the time to view.

So, based on your self-description, I'd say you found a forum full of kindred spirits. We're like you, fascinated by possibilities, and excited about learning how to actualize our ideas with multiple tools and talents]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2017 17:18:07 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6151-another-firsttimer--music-vid-at-sleazys.aspx Message from ritsmer
There has been some negative talking about Muvizu's ability to make lip synchronization - here is a positive example of how well it can be done.
Just watch the "O" sound - incredible. Great.

Did you use the music that we hear for lip-sync - or do you have the voice tracks?

I'm hoping that Muvizu will let me learn a bit about framing and lighting at least - though I'm not sure how well my storytelling will go. And as for voice-acting, well that's going to be a real challenge!

FWIW, you sound an awful lot like a guy I know who posts original songs on the Band In A Box forum. Amazing similarity!]]> Thu, 12 Jan 2017 23:17:09 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6151-another-firsttimer--music-vid-at-sleazys.aspx Message from PurpleDrazi


To get a feel for the product I just took an old song of mine and created a simple gig video using the Sleazy's stage set.

As well as a first use of Muvizu, I also downloaded HitFilm 4 EXpress having seen it positively mentioned in a thread on this site, so it's a first use of that software too - used for the very basic beginning and end titles.
