My Video Portfolio: Introduction, How I Roll and Videos

Image
Introduction I love editing and have fun with footage and audio.  My name is Paul Readman, I am a freelance audio / video editor  This began  when I was broadcasting  live on net radio.  I edited various interviews for my Bandcamp and I was told I have  good ear audio editing. I began by uploading gig footage, interviews, news Vlogs and other videos on Youtube.  I saw this as a progression for my skills to grow and   experiments I like the idea of using footage for effects, overlayering as well as adding effects to footage.  I also try to recycle footage where I can and shot fresh / on location How I Roll I get a project I listen to what is required.  If needed I  source footage. I take footage and match the quality to every other I have or near it If required I upscale to near as 4k as possible Sometimes you come across footage that can add a visual curve to the story. I then edit a dra ft.  Feedback is roughly around 90% on first draft. I am only satisfied when the client is. Up to 2

The Odeon in Banbury is closing.

Image
I worked here at the Banbury Odeon for a while in 2023 and its the best group of people I have worked with including Reggie Lartey, Sophie @cosplayshino Cinema addict Peter Keyes, Psychedelic music lover Dane Humpries, Esme Vessey, and the rest of the crew. After only a year of opening (Literally) it’s closing.  As a person who is fascinated with history, I find it almost criminal that's happening. I went to see Guardians of the Galazy Vol3 in screen one on Saturday afternoon. It’s the biggest screen in town with great sound and comfy seating.  Screen two is upstairs a bit smaller but still great. I paid £5 via the online app to purchase my ticket. After working there, I realised it made me a cinema goer once again and I miss working with crew. There is a multiplex in town, which is great because the town has been crying out for one.  My question is, why couldn't you the odeon built one? Makes sense to me? There were three cinemas in The Palace, The Grand, and if I recall, when

Promoting Music

Image
 I love quality, creative, out-of-the-box, dark-as-it-can-be-made, music. I used to run an online radio show then switched to Youtube to save my voice. This the latest video I have done.  I use the available artwork combine that with the motion of a turntable to create the illusion.

YouTube Creators

Image
Youtube is the growing global network similar to Sky but on demand version. I love the platform. To me its the digital version of Terrestrial TV. For a whole range of artists and visual creators Youtube allows, it amazing. It’s not perfect, but nothing is. It would be interesting if Youtube applied this music chart system approach to the platform? Say if you have 10 million people watching youtube in a space of three hours on 20 channels. The subscribe button acts as the portal for channels entering the chart. All new likes act as the climbing up and down numbers. The view count acts as a growth scale to see who gets noticed by sponsors ( As they are doing now I think?). Normally how Youtube reacts this way is by releasing regular content mainly on a weekly basis. You have to be polite with certain words depending in the content you are releasing ( What I learned from channel Popcorned Plannet) but depends whats going on in the world.  YouTube being a global network, it does get effect

Apple Music for Your Ears?

Image
  Like many people I assumed this was either a cleaning issue or a charging issue? As many people do I looked on Google search and Youtube for a solution. Watch the video to find out what I discovered Thanks to channel Macrumours for the one of the very few videos I found on Youtube search that saved me from buying a new pair.  I thought they were beyond repair.
