TUMB pregame video
for those that aren't privy to my facebook or my youtube channel, i'm working on a promotional TUMB video that will be played on the jumbotron at the Louisiana Superdome prior to us performing at halftime. the first draft of it looks like this:
a few notes about it:
-the audio recording of the drumbeat (which, for those that don't know, is called "The Mendel" and is a drumbeat that i brought back from my early days at West Chester) is rough, a rip from this video to provide the framework for the video piece. It will get rerecorded at studio quality for the final version.
Crowd noise or some sort of white noise will be present throughout as opposed to just the beginning. i'm not sure exactly how i want that to work yet. In my head it was just about "it needs some ambience", but constant crowd noise might not be the right thing. we'll see how it goes when i get some crowd noise to insert.
The transition section at 0'11"-0'15" will be done differently to emphasize strong beats as opposed to the accents that syncopate the beat. It *may* also involve some layering, but i have to play with it to see how it would look. I initially had an idea of splitting the screen into four quadrants or something and adding a layer of video to each quadrant, but that seems pretty hokey to me now and also out of context with the current journey of the video.
Crowd shot two will get rolled forward so that the slow-down/fade moment captures the waving guy better.
The ending shot that uses the end of the 2009 Tommy show will not be there. It will instead be a series of accelerated visual movement videos that ends with an image of the Tulane pregame "block T" that will then fade into the logo. The exact concept is something i'll have to play around with.
The final note of the drumbeat will have an added electronic low frequency kick with a slow decay to accent the fade to the logo.
All visual percussive impacts will be tightened.
i know that i have to solve the deinterlacing issue.

if anyone has any opinions or thoughts about the video, i'm open to it.
