Video editing / post production / audio mixing

These are the 3 parts of the short film made for final year smriti DVD for my engineering department at my college.  The camera work, editing and background score stitching was done by me. It was shot with just one camera with each scene being broken up and captured from different angles. Wherever possible , external microphones were used to capture the audio. It started off with no script which can be clearly noticed in the course of the video. A.R.Rahmans background scores from various movies (thanks to rahmanism.com) were used to establish the mood of the scenes. The initial department logo was created by Debananda Sahoo , a friend of mine using 3dsmax. The smriti logo was rendered using After effects and Particles plugin with a 3d camera (thanks to andrew cramer for the tutorials) , although I didnt have time to make it look more professional. The editing was fully made using Cyberlink power director.

The movie has received a very good amount of views on youtube (around 50k in total till now) which clearly establishes the fact that this was the best Smriti branch video made in the history of NITK :D

Spoilers ahead …

The mood of the short film grows to become very sentimental towards the end

Swishmax projects & Flash website for Incident 08 using Swish

My experiments with Swishmax

I entered the world of flash interactive websites when I first started using Swish. Even at version 1.0, the ease of use of Swish quickly captured my interest in flash designs. I also had maintained a website at http://openflash.be  where I used to publish the source code for my projects made on SWiSH.. But I never really wanted to pay for maintaining the domain name when it expired. So most of the source files are lost. Some of them were uploaded even on other sites. Check them out

Incident 2008 Flash website for NITK Surathkal

Incident 08 NITK - Flash website screenshot

Initially, I never had plans of making a flash website for Incident 08 (culfest of NITK Surathkal). But then, the convenor of the fest came to me asking me to create a flash website as he felt that the HTML website wasnt flashy enough for a cultural website. Also I had created a flash based UI for the sponsor’s CD which had the previous year’s videos which was pretty cool as per him. So he wanted me to extend it for the current website. Then, I started off, and built a full flash website using SWiSH  Max 2.0 which turned out pretty good. The menu was the most catchy part of the entire website. It was a series of circular buttons arranged in the shape of a sinusoidal curve and the curve would gradually animate to align on a new curve based on the cursor position. Also it had a video transition shown between page changes which was made using After effects and ‘Particular’ plugin. I will upload the flash website here, if I can find the files. An old version of the same site is here, but I am not able to find the latest version. Unfortunately, the hosting plan got expired and I never took backups :(
