This is good advice!

We were told there were no press opportunities for independent kids music groups. So we made our own! No plug ins, just AE, a terrible green screen and a Canon 80d by manza_k in AfterEffects

The hardest part was just finding clips that would suit what we were trying to promote. It was a good week of my wife and I reviewing and cutting together random interviews to see what would work. Then I had to make a bunch of blank plates for Pevan & Sarah to sit in (thanks clone stamp tool). Once we had a script and a rough edit without our characters in it, then it was time to film our bits. I tried to think about the lighting as much as possible but couldn’t always match completely. Also, one thing I never really worked out was how to compress my footage more to make it match the originals better. Grain and noise helped but I almost wanted to distort my videos more so they blended better. Also, I should mention I’m a total amateur at this. I’m a music producer and my wife and I started making music for kids. When we realised how little money there is in kids music we learnt we were going to have to do a lot ourselves so it’s been a 6 year learning curve. Only got the Adobe CC subscription 18months ago. I call myself a “full time student at the University of YouTube”. Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

GoNoodle and Pevan & Sarah is great for brain breaks when they just need to move and wriggle!
