I shot this test video on the roof of the LaGuardia computer building. I am planning on shooting a Sci-Fi fan film with some of the students in our program so I figured that I would try out my Jedi skills. I think the shot turned out pretty good for my first attempt.<\/p>\n<p>The software I am using in this test shot is called EffectsLab Lite and it was developed by <a title=\"The FXHome.com website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fxhome.com\" target=\"_blank\">FXHome.com<\/a>. The program is a visual effects tool that is in many ways very similar to After Effects, but with not as steep of a learning curve. The entry level package is pretty affordable at about 110 bucks. The more advanced versions, Effectslab Pro and Visionlab Studio, run from about 150 to 500 bucks.<\/p>\n<p>My main problem with the software is that there is no current intel-mac version. As a result Winona, my Macbook Pro, runs Effectslab slowly. The company says an intel version is on the way but I think they won&#8217;t release a universal binary until the next full release. They software currently is available for Windows XP and Power PC based macs. I am not sure if a Windows Vista software version is ready. I haven&#8217;t paid much attention to that because if someone is using Vista chances are that they have more pressing issues.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fxhome.com\/ref\/22716\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"FXhome\" src=\"http:\/\/fxhome.com\/banner\/22716\/9\/jedilargebanner.jpg\" width=\"468\" height=\"72\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an effects shot that I worked on to test some new software that we are using in New Media Technology program.
