Bill, et al, I'm glad the discussion came back to my question about tools to use to make a video like that. Yes, I know that the video was a reworking of the classic 1984 Apple advertisement. I know that a lot went into making the original advertisement.
What I was trying to ask, and I haven't found a good answer, is how does one go about making a new video, like "Vote Different" through editing existing videos. The closest I've gotten, so far is from someone off the list suggesting that After Effects could probably be used to do something like that. Could this have been done with After Effects? How much work is it to get proficient enough in something like After Effects to modify a video the way they did? Are there other tools that are better? Are there open source tools? To get more specific, at about three seconds into the video, you see the drones marching in with three video monitors in the upper left hand section of the screen. These monitors have a video of Hillary playing in them. How difficult is it to take a video and add it into a section of another video? At about 6 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, and 38 seconds the image of the runner is modified to have an iPod and an Obama graphic. How difficult was this? How much of this do you need to do on a frame by frame basis, and how much can be automated with something like After Effects? On a more general basis, how many of you on this list have done this sort of editting to any of your videos? How many of you know how to do it?
