How would I use these clips anyway?!!

The truly unique feature of all Post Holes Clips is that they come pre-matted. Each QuickTime movie comes with a built in Alpha Channel offering you tremendous flexibility and speed.

Avoiding the hassles of keying and masking, you’re creating cool compositions in no time. Each Clip is a discrete layer which you can move, scale and apply effects to.

Often budget and time limitations prevent you from shooting talent. The People in our clips give animations a much needed emotional booster shot. The clips show people acting in a very generic way, simply smiling or looking sad, it’s the text or Voice-over that YOU add that gives it a context. Let’s look at some examples.
Clip 004 from our Emotions 1 collection, which shows a sad young girl turning to look at the camera. By adding some text it’s transformed into a slick News Teaser about Depression. It could have just as easily been turned into a Public Service Announcement on Suicide or Divorce, in essence any topic that is sad. Again, YOUR text or voice-over is what gives the clip context.

These are Clips 024 and 027 on our Emotions 1 Collection, which show Medical Professionals simply smiling. Combined they create a slick commercial for a Health Care System, but they could have just as easily been used in the opening for a corporate video on Health Insurance. Can you imagine this graphic without the Post Holes clips? Just text over a background?! How boring is that?! Post Holes Clips give your graphics emotion and character.

Post Holes Clips can be used for almost anything, bumpers, teasers, show opens, or broadcast commercials. Go ahead, impress your client today with a Post Holes Clip, we promise not tell him how you did it.
