Intro

[AVII2D]

Hello, I come to you because I need help to create an intro for my YouTube channel! I already know what I want, I just do not know how achieved. Thank you to answer me AVII2D.

[filmboss80]

Well, YOU may already know what you want, but WE don't. So, how could we possibly tell you how to achieve it? We are not mind readers.

Be gentle . . . . He's a newbie . . . English maybe not his first language, sorta like folks from the Republic of Texas . . . . .

[AVII2D]

I'm not from Texas but ... I come from Belgium I want a brief intro to this style if you could help me it would not be in denial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ep701clBMM

[poisondeathray]

What do you want to do exactly ? Did you want to make a similar intro to that youtube video ? The first 3-4 seconds? or something else ?

[AVII2D]

So I would do a similar thing but smoke that explodes, as if it was an explosion. With as wallpaper as cetgte background image on the music ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsmKKxo8oyQ ) Version biker

[aedipuss]

using a video editor create the text of your channel name. overlay with smoke or an explosion or whatever. samples can be found online. this took a minute.

[AVII2D]

Thank you, but the thing I would like to make me an intro I did not know anything about computer I do my video thanks to sony vegas pro 11 Go Pro and the rest I do not know how unraveled, that why I come to you

[poisondeathray]

Smoke is usually the by product of an explosion , so do you want an explosion then smoke ?

Did you want it "white" as in the 1st video ? or "original" color (orange) ?


Eitherway - It's usually done by compositing stock footage of explosions and smoke (i.e. real footage shot with a camera) , onto your background image - Is that what you want ?

It can be done in a video editor eg. sony vegas, premiere pro, fcpx , etc..., or even free tools like avisynth - but you need 2 things 1) the background footage or image 2) the stock footage of explosions and smoke

Since you already have vegas pro, all you need is the stock footage and the background image

[AVII2D]

Yes, but I guess these can be found in the net?? But I want these in this style here, not exactly like that, and background image, as the skull in the video 2 (in this style there, but we'll see the whole face that would make a smile with an early combination of motorcycle, and we see the explosion and the image as wallpaper

[AVII2D]

If you could make me his, you clench my savior, sorry for the spelling I do not speak french very well ^ ^

[poisondeathray]

I don't speak french very well either

I don't understand what you mean by "in this style there, but we'll see the whole face that would make a smile with an early combination of motorcycle, and we see the explosion and the image as wallpaper"

Did you want the skull face to "smile" ? Is that the exact background image that you wanted ?

What do you mean by motorcycle ?



It will be difficult unless you are able to descibe it more clearly

[AVII2D]

Could we discuss on skipe via written? His faciliterais my spot for the connection and be more clear?

[poisondeathray]

I don't use skype

I don' t mind helping out if it's something simple and quick to do, but if it's long and drawn out - I won't have time to redo 10 different versions each time you wanted something slightly different because of a communication issue.

But - It's better if you learn the skills to do it - so you can create and modify your own intros, not just for this project, but for future ones . Then you can customize it however you like

[AVII2D]

I briefly explain what I would like a skull that these mice as in this video, but on the shoulder that have way as a combination of motorcycle with marked above (AVII2D). And background image something matching, but the way I'm not sure what. Whether it be a fixed aimge with explosion effect as I mentioned rather than its maximum and lasts 7 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsmKKxo8oyQ

[aedipuss]

in vegas arrange things something like this

[smrpix]

One common way for people to communicate in this situation is storyboards.

AVII2D, why don't you do a quick series of sketches showing exactly what you want to have happen. No one is expecting you to be a great artist (though maybe you are), but it will help explain what you're looking for. There's a lot of ways to arrange mice, skulls, motorcycles and explosions.

[AVII2D]

Although I do not really know pasdu everything and I do not have good computer ... Basically what I want the one step that the style, written on the shoulder "AVII2D" as if it were incorporated into the motorcycle jacket and effects level as in the video, I can always essaier to draw the hand and show with a photo?

[smrpix]

I can always essaier to draw the hand and show with a photo?

Yes. That should work.

[AVII2D]

Okay, I made ​​you in the evening his work?

[bigass]

Not to derail the discussion here...perhaps a discussion for another thread...but isn't the point of a channel trailer to be at least representative of what you can do? If the OP is unfamiliar with even the basic basics of video creation, claiming an absolute lack of skill and an underpowered computer -- why is the first effort being put into a slick hype video?

Feel free to ignore if it's too off-topic.

[AVII2D]

I did not understand your question?

[racer-x]

Maybe you can use this skull background. It's loopable..........

[filmboss80]

Ignorant bigotry; buying into Hollywood stereotyping.

[bigass]

I did not understand your question?

That is correct.


I'm saying that having someone else make a channel trailer for you that contains work you do not understand and features technology and skills you do not have will lead to a false impression of what you can do. If you want to establish a presence on YouTube, perhaps working on your own videos might be the better first step. If you do not know how to make good videos, what will people see after watching a beautiful, exciting channel trailer?

[AVII2D]

Maybe you can use this skull background. It's loopable..........

A skull in this style there, more detail would be perfect ^ ^!

[AVII2D]

voilà le style d'image que j'aimerais l'écriture en blanc et le les épaules en rouge

[AVII2D]

That's what I want entries in white and shoulders are white

[AVII2D]

And have discussed earlier explosion, perhaps with a little annimation the skull (eg EEX smile)

[poisondeathray]

That's a start, but not really a storyboard . You need several pictures showing the progression of what you want to happen. Think like a comic book, with panels

I know English is difficult for you, but you need to give this more thought:




You mentioned "white" for text, but failed to mention font type and other important details

Where are the mice and motorbikes ? Did you really want "mice" ? or was that a typo ? What do mice have to do with anything ?

Isn't this a motobike channel ? Isn't the topic "motorbikes"? Don't you want to emphasize "AVII2D" with "motorbike"? or is the topic "skeletons" ? I think you need to do a better job of "branding" . A tiny little logo on the lapel of a jacket isn't going to do much. Most people will miss it . And there won't be any association with "motorbike" in that shot

The background image you linked to is missing the skele's left shoulder, and there is not enough room for a logo on either side. So I suppose you want somebody to redo the "background" as well?

Did you want the fire/smoke transitioning into the skeleton face ? or the skeleton face with fire/smoke transitioning out into your logo scene ? The latter what the 1st video did. They used the smoke charge/blast as a "device" to transition into their logo screen. Notice they had a large logo and text legible on a separate screen , not illegible on a tiny part of a jacket or something else. Eitherway, you should give more thought and plan this out more thoroughly

Also , maybe the Johnny Blaze / Ghost Rider "skeleton in flames" theme is overdone ?
