竞赛简介

I am a guitar educator and independent music genre researcher travelling through Latin America creating guitar lesson material based on video recordings with traditional musicians. These will form a large part of a unique world music guitar education website with interactive guitar notation.

I am looking for a long-term partner to these edit videos and help them to reach as wide an audience as possible. This contest will act as a demo so if you can impress here there will be more work to come. Any video promotion knowledge would also be a big plus.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<--- Raw Material --->
I have two shots for a performance of Buena Vista Social Club's 'Cuarto de Tula' in the street with a group of musicians in Santiago de Cuba.
- from the left with a Galaxy Note 4 smartphone (1920x1080)
- from the right with a GoPro (1280x720)

< < Download from Google Drive https://goo.gl/BQrwui > >

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am looking for the following:

- Multi-take edit the videos together in audio and video sync (please keep as much video and audio quality as possible)
- Switch, zoom, pan etc to emphasise best parts of the performance (suggested timing below). Try to be in sync with musical beats and changes, or be more subtle.
- Use any cutting edge techniques at your disposal to make the video appeal to a wide audience.
- Manage and mix the 2 audio tracks to maintain the highest possible quality and act as an effect when switching cameras.
- Leave blank screen at the end so that Youtube end screen links can be placed over it (or if you specialise in online video marketing, make suggestions as to how it can be best prepared).

<<<-- Edit Guidelines (times per Galaxy shot) -->>>

The audio/video sync accuracy is key. There's no clap so it may be best to use the most prominent actions of the percussionist.
The GoPro will be especially good for emphasising the important percussion hits below that mark changes in song sections.

0:25 | The video should begin with the lead singer's count-off (tres, y…)
0:48 | Percussion hit into verse 1
0:58~1:09 | Percussionist focus (special emphasis on the action on 1:09)
1:05 Wolf whistling would be nice to focus on too
1:19 | Quick switch to percussion hit
1:20-1:39 | Zoom to tres guitar solo (Important transition: I'd like drama, tension, momentum to be built here, then released into the final section)
1:40 | Percussion hit
1:51-2:01 | Percussion
2:10 | Need something to emphasise and dramatise the drop into the chorus here. Perhaps a zoom in to bring attention to my head movement and lead singer freezing, then at 2:11 switch (and zoom?) to percussion strike into chorus
2:20 | Percussionist action
2:50-3:07 | Percussionist notices that somebody is about to walk in front of the camera and tries to stop him but it doesn't work. I want the humour of this part to be brought out.
3:06 But... try to edit away from my awkward face in some way (the laughing before is ok) :)
3:20 Zoom into tres guitar lead (would be nice to keep in/pan out to me dancing with the lead singer on 3:49, then zooming further out as the percussionist builds momentum back into chorus)
4:13 Percussionist
4:59 Percussionist
5:02 Lead singer raises his hand
5:03 Zoom into my ascending chords
5:14 Switch to GoPro to focus on percussionist continuing and whistling whilst everyone has stopped, and me laughing
5:36 End here (last thing should be bassist saying 'eso').

I'm looking forward to seeing some great entries. Thanks for your efforts.

    Thanks very much to all of you for your entries and all the hard work you put in. I know how much painstaking work goes into video and audio editing and I appreciate the effort you have put in. I have chosen ReeSee's entry due to the creativity used, whilst embellishing and remaining true to the flow of the performance and the music itself. I hope for those of you who may be disappointed that you have also gained some experience by taking part in the competition. I wish you all the best in your careers. Regards, Kieran.

      Just saying that it's really hard to make an appealing video edit when the video is static.

      Sorry for the delay with the response. I've just had a HDD failure. I'd like the quality to remain as high possible whilst creating a story with cuts, zooms, etc. I understand that in order to zoom etc there will be necessarily be some quality loss, at least for those frames. HD will be fine.

      Thanks for your entry. The video has far, far too many cuts, many of them jump cuts. It's very difficult to watch because the viewer's eye is constantly trying to find something to focus on but is then distracted away to another thing. I'm looking for cuts that are subtle or that tastefully/creatively embellish the music and the action in the video. The focus should be on the band, the song and the subtleties in the performance - not excessive fancy edits. Thanks again.

      Even when I redone the whole video and made the pace much much slower? Are you sure you have checked the right one

    Please note the following:

    - The final quality of the picture and audio should be kept at the highest level possible. The GoPro picture style is appealing (in a 'fly-on-the-wall' kind of way) but if you can colour match it
    well with the other camera, that may work.
    - I want drama, tension and momentum to be built during the tres guitar solo and released at the end of the solo into the final section. This is a key transition in the song.
    - You should either use cuts, zooming and panning that are in sync with the beats/changes in the music, changes in the song sections or in a way that brings out elements that are interesting. Other effects should be more subtle and not clash with the music.

    I've updated the Contest Description.

    Thanks of the entries that have been made so far. Some good ideas have come through. Cutting to the wolf whistles on 1:05 would also be a nice element to bring out, as well as some of the bassist's best parts. I've added it to the description.
