The first was ensuring I represented the band correctly \u2013 the band (Damaged Goods Club) has a powerful aesthetic, and I wanted to ensure I captured that <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/fnuIXiSA_vw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the video<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second thing was making the video itself as entertaining as possible. Lyric videos tend to become a bit samey-samey after the first verse or chorus. I wanted to ensure that the audience enjoyed the visuals as much as the music and kept watching and listening to the last beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Could you walk us through how you went about making the lyric video?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Sticks and Stones&quot; Lyric Music Video | Text Animation Templates In Use!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l9FMV27-IhM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first part of the process for this lyric video, and any music video I&#8217;ve worked on, is to bring the track into your editing program of choice and lay the lyrics over the top in basic text layers. This gives you a bird&#8217;s eye view of how the track is visually laid out, and from there, you can start to map out where different elements will sit within the timeline of the video and the song.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, it was just a matter of picking a part of the song, choosing a video template, and experimenting to see what worked. I thought I would approach it linearly, but I ended up jumping all over the place within the track, doing some work on the first chorus, then on the last verse, then on the intro, and so on, until I filled in all of the gaps. It&#8217;s like a giant digital jigsaw puzzle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see more of my process in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IPJtzHiRrnE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this video<\/a>, where I talk through my favorite sequences that I put together for the clip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have any hacks or tips for creating a lyric video?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Do as much copy + paste as you can. If you know you&#8217;ll reuse techniques or visual sequences elsewhere in the timeline, there&#8217;s no point building it all again from scratch. I did a lot of copying + pasting, mainly with the text elements I was changing to fit new lyrics in different parts of the track. Work smarter, not harder \u2013 especially on a complex project with many moving parts, different programs, and hundreds of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another tip is to stay as organized as possible. It&#8217;s easy to let a project like this get away from you, but you&#8217;ll thank yourself later for keeping things tidy. It will make your life much less stressful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, keep it moving! If you&#8217;re bored even for a split second while reviewing sequences, imagine what the viewer must feel like. Change up the visuals as much as possible while maintaining consistency and coherence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Elements items did you use, and how did you choose them?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can imagine, I used A LOT of assets in this project, which was vital to keep it visually interesting the whole way through. I made an <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/collections\/A8L7SCVT49\">Elements Collection<\/a> that you can check out with all the items used; however, I&#8217;ve listed two of my favorites below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VHS Pack by 2DeadFrog<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"elements-gallery\">\n    <div class=\"elements-gallery__slider\">\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n            <div class=\"slider__items swiper-wrapper\">\n                                    <div class=\"slider__item swiper-slide\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\"\n                            class=\"slider__image\"\n                            src=\"https:\/\/elements-resized.envatousercontent.com\/elements-video-cover-images\/files\/381403863\/IMG_AE.jpg?format=auto&#038;cf_fit=crop&#038;h=506&#038;w=900&#038;s=cb31b4bcc5bf442854df5c700a2ea3bdfabe1391cf04889b7f8ec6d17e1ecc3e\"\n                            alt=\"VHS Pack\"\n                        >\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"slider__controls\">\n                <a class=\"slider__control slider__control--prev\" href=\"#\">\n                    &lt;\n                <\/a>\n                <a class=\"slider__control slider__control--next\" href=\"#\">\n                    &gt;\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"elements-gallery__info\">\n        <div class=\"elements-gallery__info-left\">\n            <h3 class=\"elements-gallery__title\">\n                VHS Pack            <\/h3>\n\n            <div class=\"elements-gallery__meta\">\n                By\n                <a class=\"elements-gallery__meta-link elements-gallery__meta-link--author\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/user\/2DeadFrog\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    2DeadFrog                <\/a>\n                in\n                <a class=\"elements-gallery__meta-link elements-gallery__meta-link--category\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/video-templates\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Video Templates                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"elements-gallery__info-right\">\n            <a class=\"elements-gallery__more\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/vhs-pack-FYK8SNF\" target=\"_blank\">\n                View more\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>I loved this asset because it&#8217;s so well put together and high-quality.

I changed sequences, removed and added sections, duplicated sections, and so on as I got more comfortable with the song and the visual style. Being open to change and not too stuck on one idea helped bring this project over the line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the best thing about Envato Elements for video creators?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Video creators, check this out!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nAnpwfD1arE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing about Elements is the speed between sparking an idea and placing that idea into an edit. I can be working on an edit, have an idea for a graphic, stock video, or sound effect, and in a couple of clicks, I&#8217;ve found the perfect asset and can also download five more in case that one doesn&#8217;t fit. Not only that, it&#8217;s the ease with which you can customize those assets to fit your needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you find the perfect video template, but it&#8217;s in a completely different color palette. With minimal effort and a basic understanding of After Effects, you can jump into professionally created and well-organized project files, make the changes you need, export that complex graphic, and drop it into your edit in no time. That&#8217;s days of work saved by a subscription to Elements!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are your top tips for creating professional, high-quality videos?&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Video Editing with the Experts | Josh Olufemii, Premiere Gal and tutvid\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3eEudzxalmM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pre-Production<\/strong>: map out what you want to achieve before you start. This could be a full-page document, an entire storyboard, or a one-line sentence.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flexibility<\/strong>: if something isn&#8217;t working, don&#8217;t be afraid to bin it. At the very least, if you&#8217;re having trouble with a sequence, leave it until later and move on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Workflow<\/strong>: An efficient workflow is sometimes half the battle. Know what steps to take to keep things moving. If you&#8217;re working with large files, don&#8217;t wait until you&#8217;re about to start making edits to set up your proxy files. That could take a half day, so get them set up the night before, and you&#8217;re good to go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep a tidy workspace<\/strong>: I&#8217;m not just talking about your desk. Keep your files organized and your projects well-structured and strategically laid out. Make sure your file naming conventions make sense and stick to them. You might be the only person looking at that project, but trust me, if you need to jump back into it in five years and it&#8217;s a mess, it will take far longer to work out where everything is if you&#8217;re not keeping things tidy and working to a clean structure.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Have fun!<\/strong> Even on a deadline, you have to find joy in it. You are creating something from scratch with your hands. Take pride in it, like a master craftsperson with a piece of furniture or a chef with a dish. It will show in the final product if you&#8217;re not passionate about it.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s your most valuable advice for video creators just starting out?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Premiere Pro Tutorial | FREE COURSE\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KfPIp-G1bpY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoot constantly, find like-minded people to practice with, take photos, and study films. Know that the early work will not be your best work. Know you&#8217;re never the absolute best at what you do because art is subjective but strive to continue to learn and grow. Gear isn&#8217;t everything; cameras, lights, and all the fun, expensive toys are just tools. The best camera is the one you have on you. Be open to critical feedback and understand how to grow from that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately the best thing I think you can do as someone aspiring to be a cinematographer, in general, is to study light and composition \u2013 not camera specs: which can come later. Sit in your lounge room at 7am, and watch how light comes through the window and sits on the wall. Come back at midday, 2pm, 4pm, and sunset to see how it differs and what qualities you see in that light. Next time you&#8217;re out shooting, look for those things through the viewfinder. You&#8217;d be surprised at how much influence light, or the absence of light, can have on a narrative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"elements-product-embed elements-product-embed--carousel elements-product-embed--has-info\">\n            <div class=\"elements-product-embed__info\">\n                            <div class=\"elements-product-embed__info-left\">\n                    <h3 class=\"elements-product-embed__title\">\n                        Unlimited creative assets.
