PRODUCTION NOTES
  1. ✦ Shot in HD 24p using the Sony F900
 
  1. ✦ Edited on Final Cut Pro HD
 
  1. ✦ Visual Effects were created with several applications, most notable the new Studio Artist a application that paints on film and video. Studio Artist was used to create a animated paint effect on the Jazz Man and Diedrick.
For animating the van Gogh paintings like the water moving in the Boats painting we used Video Gogh a application that paints and manipulates images, we also used it for the painted transitions in the “Bridge” video.  After Effects were used for Green Screen keying, and multi-layer compositing.
