Video Editing and Production at MineWurx Studio
Current stories and projects we're working on.
Benim Turkiye - My Turkey from Michael Minetree on Vimeo.
This is our new intro - entirely re-cut and converted to HD. We came out with 3 different versions - before stepping back to re-tool and convert the footage over to HD and create 2D to 3D conversions of the still images.
It's taken us 17 months to finally get to a point where we felt comfortable that we'd be able to get the visual experience we were looking for.
All of the motion picture was shot on an old Sony Carl Zeiss Handycam NTSC camera and is as shaky as WWII gun camera footage. We've gone to great lengths to try not to use most of the really shaky stuff. To make up for it we switched to turning many of the stills into motion shots. It's a lot of work, but so entirely worth it.
The piece is a combination of still and motion shots, and serves as the intro to the rest of the story - the discoveries I was able to make as I traveled with my wife to the Turkish countryside, through tumultuous parts of eastern Turkey to see the village she was raised in and meet her family for the first time.
The writing, voice over, music production and composition were done here at the studio using a variety of platforms - ACID Pro, Adobe Audition, Adobe CS5 and Vegas Pro for the NLE.
