Sacred Oath is a band that works with StarBaby Enterprises for the marketing part of their tours. For example, they wanted a short promo video for their upcoming album. They gave strict directions on how they wanted it to look and even gave time codes for which part of the video they wanted included in the final cut. This is something I’ve never seen before. I’m used to people/clients telling you an IDEA of what they want, and what they want the mood and feel of the video to be like, and then I use my artistic viewpoint to try to match that. This time the directions were clear and the process was simple. Simple, not easy.

I edit using Adobe After Effects because that’s what I was taught in my Motion Graphics class in City Tech. It makes for a cool program to add cool animations and transitions that spice up a video edit. After being introduced to Adobe Premiere by Jordan and watching her edit videos from it, it made it clear that it is a much better software for raw editing. Meaning, if you’re just putting clips together to create a cut, it is perfect for that. Easy to use and renders very flawlessly. After Effects is meant more for the fancy after editing touch ups. Because of how busy a page can get in After Effects, with transitions, text layers, keyframes..etc, it can take a very long time to render and the file size becomes much larger than necessary for most projects. Therefore I have become better acquainted with Premiere and all that it has to offer for me.
