"Summertime Samba!" - a video showcasing an original composition. With a nice "flip-book" effect

[jonray]

Hi folks, just showing off my latest flute video!!
For those who don’t know, I make videos to accompany my original compositions and arrangements for flute-players. All 40+ of them made with Shotcut, of course…
This my latest - a cheeky little Samba!!

SUMMERTIME SAMBA! for 2 flutes and piano (or backing track) by Jon Raybould

There’s not many cutting-edge new features used in this video, just a whole heap of picture-in-in picture editing, using a lot of SPR and crop filters, with some keyframing. The synchronisation between the dancers and the music was mostly due to luck rather than precise editing…

And of course, @elusien’s brilliant “flip-book” HTML method was PERFECT for this video. Thanks a million, Elusien!!
Watch the pages of the sheet music turn, at 0:23, 0:50, and about every 25 seconds after that …

Here’s the post where @elusien introduces this fabulous technique…

Flip Image Transitions (HTML/CSS/Javascript) - easily tailored

OK, another (Orthodox this time) Christmas present for the forum. I’ve put together an HTML file that accepts various parameters and transitions two images as if flipping pages in a book. Some of the parameters relate to properties than can be animated, such as opacity, scale, rotation etc. Play around with them and see what you can come up with. You need to provide it with two or more images. I have an example below and the HTML file is also below, just remove the ‘.txt’ suffix and run it in …

Just for information, I composed the piece, played the piano accompaniment, added drums and bass sounds in Cubase to make the backing track, then recorded both flute parts in Cubase (multi-tracking).
BTW I still have to add the details to my website… it’s a work still in progress…

Thanks for watching, and enjoy dancing along to it in your lounge (maybe!) …

BTW… Here’s Elusien’s flipbook in action. I gave it a half-grey background (#808080). That way, if you apply a Blend mode (Hard light) filter to it, the grey turns transparent but the black and white stay opaque. It’s clever.
