• Comments: Just a little experiment in how much I know about Premiere, in preparation for making some better videos.
  
  Now, don't get me wrong, this is a good video. But working on it for three weeks burned me out a bit. Watching the finished product....I am overall pleased.
  
  Goal of the video is a simple character profile of Radium Lavans. He goes a little psycho, is saved by the love a woman, and then....
  
  MASSIVE SPOILERS. You've been warned. :) But, hey, if you're not gonna waste your money on ZOE anyway, or are curious as to the storyline before purchase, well, here ya go.
  
  Okay, a quick explanation of the title. I have said to others in the past that there are 5 types of sync.
  
  1) Beat sync. (hitting beats with cuts or actions)
  2) Lyric sync. (if it says 'rose', put a rose on screen....lip sync ties in with this as well)
  3) Pacing or 'mood sync'. (slow/soft beats get slow/soft scenes, and vice versa)
  4) Effect sync. (Effects that go with certain instruments, or certain musical 'phrases')
  5) Tonal sync. (Light colors to high notes, dark to low. Or, you can just follow Alexander Scriabin's note-color theory, which is what I did.)
  
  I tried to use all five at once. Well, as much as I could without shooting myself, because that's a lot of work. And I'm really lazy. :)
  
  Programs used:
  VirtualDub
  AVIsynth
  Adobe Premiere Pro (NO AFTER EFFECTS, though the effects I chose would have been easier/flashier in it)
  etc.
  
  Encoded at a CBR of 2000 kbps, so it's not the highest quality, but it's under 70 mbs. I hate to upload something bigger than that, since I'm not donating all THAT much to the .org. :)
  
  NOTE
  If this video plays slowly, or badly....you probably need the latest version of FFDSHOW or the latest XviD codec. I've heard a few complaints.

  You catch it on the screen
  Freeze, fast forward to the rewind
  I have it in my head
  It's frozen, fast forward to the rewind
  
  You're drifting out of focus
  Freeze, immobile like a test slide
  You're falling out of focus
  I can see you, I can save you
