Loopback of the Month

Loopbacks are short video clips whose last frame blends
smoothly and seamlessly with the loop's first frame. By placing
several of these short clips next to each other on your timeline
you can achieve any time length you desire. Loopbacks are
useful as moving backgrounds for opening titles, closing
credits, or other times to jazz-up your videos. This fourth
loopback in our series is Drifting Hearts (33MB). Right click
on the link to download this loopback - be patient as the
file size is fairly large.

It’s All About Video

Frequently the Club invites guest speakers from the video industry and also club members to present seminars on all aspects of video planning, shooting and editing. Should you put attending these and other special Viewfinders Club meetings on your calendar each month? Check out this latest video Are You Happy? to learn why (provided by Club member Glenn Mooty).

Featured Video of the Month

Each month the Club selects one member video to feature on the Club website. This month we're featuring the Golden DVD Award 3rd Place Winning movie Insert Movie Title Here produced by Ron Rhodes. Described by Ron as a "Self Referential Movie", it engages through imagery and visual humor. The video opens with a DVD being loaded into a DVD player and progresses through a series of visual images both real and imaginary until the end comes with the DVD being ejected. A highly imaginative piece.
