"South Norwalk's Finest"

What happens when you shoot a video and your client goes MIA? You finish the project anyways! What we have here is the first cut of a video for local rappers Stizzy Frizz and Pete Hickey. (Well, it's a portion we shot three songs total) We filmed this last year (I can't even remember what month) but I just resurrected the footage this weekend and began a re-edit.

The rough edit was done in Final Cut Pro. I bumped up the film look with Magic Bullet. Then I exported the footage to After Effects. I'm trying to give the film that old distressed look. I added in some flash frames & motion grapics and this is what I've got so far.

So Pete & Stizzy, if you're out there....here's your video!

i love it! where did you get the graf fonts? also, is this the same song/production as the original? the beats are better and the song has more of a hook now.

Ding ding! Congratulations, you are the first person to leave feedback on my blog/site. You win the grand prize, dinner at Morton's Steakhouse.*

No, same old song, no different production. The graf fonts came from a free download site, I grabbed a few.
