Digital Cinematography Video

As mentioned in my last post, I was assigned 5 various lighting setups to replicate from our textbook.  The video seen here is the video I presented to class.  I also added a photo at the end which you can see what the equipment setup in my garage looked like.  Any critiques would be very much appreciated.

I want to thank my roommate Wyeth and Josh for their help on my final video.

Digital Cinematography Production Stills

Since this blog is called AV wonderland, for Audio AND Video, I figured I would share some screen shots from a recent digital cinematography project.  The assignment was to replicate 5 various assigned lighting setups in video.  The following slideshow are stills from production.  I would also like to thank my friends James and Kyle for helping me out with this project.

Re-Wire from Reason to Ableton

One of the very first questions I asked when I started working with Ableton Live and Reason was "How do I route (Re-wire) the Reason Instruments into Ableton?" After a little bit of trial and error, I finally figured out a way to Re-Wire Reason into Ableton. I have created a video tutorial to help guide you through the setup. The basic Steps are as follows...

1. You first need to open up Ableton Live (Important Ableton is First)

2. Next, open up Reason

3. Start a new Project by going File>New (Close demo)

4. Delete any default mixing/instrument devices (Leave Re-Wire Device [top])

5. Right Click and create your desired sound/instrument.

6. Go into Ableton and find where it says "Ext. In" under the Audio Track and select "Reason"

7. Under the MIDI track change the "MIDI To" selection to "Reason"

8. Below "MIDI To" another drop down box will appear change "Hardware" to "Desired Instrument"

9. Make sure the Input on the MIDI track shows "1/2" (Channels 1 & 2, 3 & 4, etc.)

10. Always make sure "MIDI" and "Audio" Tracks both are selected "IN"

11. Finally, trigger your controller or keyboard to make sure the signal and audio is coming through. You can now start recording your instrument from Reason in Ableton Live.
