Digipak Complete

Here is the digipak I have designed for my parody band Nizzle Flips, of which I also created a Music Video and a Website Homepage.

The top left panel is one of the interior pages, the top centre is the CD holder and the top right lyrics for the #1 hit single that will be on one of the interior pages.
The bottom left is a picture of the band during one of the video shoots and the final two panels are the back and front of the digipak. The back is consisting of all the tracks that are on the album with some images.

Website Complete

I have created my website using www.wix.com. I chose this site as it is free to use and requires no coding to create a good website.

Here is the link to my published website.

Photoshoot for Webpage and Digipak

Here are some of the photo's I took for my website and digipak.

Editing

Having completed the filming of all my clips for my music video, It was now time to edit all the footage and make my clips into a music video.
I had to decide what editing software to use. The options I had were Movie Maker, Photostage and iMovie. I decided that iMovie being obviously the better of the 3 was the software I was going to use. I had arranged to use a Macbook of which I had to borrow from school. This seemed like it was going to be great, however when I got it I realised it was an old Mac and therefore it ran very slow when trying to use iMovie with such large files sizes of my video clips. I did not feel that I would be able to complete the creation of the video using that software as it was not efficient.

I therefore decided I had to choose between Windows Movie Maker and PhotoStage. These were clearly not professional quality software packages and there was little to choose between them. I decided to go for PhotoStage. It used a time line view which is what I wanted whereas the newer version of Movie Maker I wasn't keen on the layout. So for ease of use I went for PhotoStage.

I set myself 2 days where I would do the editing of my video. I completed it, having synced all the clips to the track.I was pretty happy with the result. I exported the clips in a number of different file formats so I had a version that would play in any given piece of software and of varying qualities. HD 1080, 720, MP4 etc.

Having looked at the footage there was 1 clip that was just out of sync so I went back and edited it further and resolved the issue. I then re-exported the video.
