No Film School. Complex Transitions. All in a days work!

Hello I am back yet again this time to do a review of an article I recently read on No Film School. Click here to see the actual article and without further ado I will get on with the technical stuff.

This article uses the filmmaker Matty Brown's video Playground Italy and the Story & Heart video in which he describes the process of a beautifully executed transition. First we are gonna talk about the video Playground Italy and how he used complex transitions throughout it. The entire video is about Italy and extreme mountain biking throughout the country. His video is excellent and I would highly recommend checking it out. Anyway he uses a wide variety of transitions throughout his video and then, lower down in the article there is a video where he gives us some tips of how to create complex transitions. Now I loved getting to hear all the great advice and I will talk about that a little later on, but first I want to give my opinion of the article itself.

Now I thought the article was very interesting. The article is mostly the two videos and some text describing the importance and difficulty of transitions. They start off talking about the importance of transitions and how overlooked they can be. However the article then talks about how a seamless transition can make a video amazing. Now I think that the article around the videos is excellently written to highlight what makes these transitions so important to videos. They point out the complexity of the transitions and how much time they take, but that the benefits are well worth the work. I also think that the video they picked to write about is a great example of they point the article is trying to make. Overall I was very impressed with this article and I learned a lot from it.

Now onto the video and what I though of it. I thought that the informational video was exceptionally made and really taught me what the directer, Matty Brown, thought was important about creating complex transitions. I will just highlight the main ideas of the video but again go check it out on the link to the article, it is such a helpful video especially for new film editors or those who want to expand their knowledge. Matty defines what he thinks transitions are, talks about why they are important in videos, and the gained experience for the viewer that these complex transitions add.

Well thats all for now folks! I will see you next time for another blog!
