I have 14 clips up now and have been making them for about 4 months.</p> <p>The video blog is at <a title="www.thegreatgallivant.com" href="http://www.thegreatgallivant.com">http://www.thegreatgallivant.com</a> - It is amateur. I edit with Vegas, clean up clips and make maps etc. with After Effects and shoot with both a waterproof, smash proof digital camera that only does 720p and have just gotten hold of a little Panasonic HX-DC1 that will do 1080p HD but I am only recording in 720p - I think this is enough for internet and my pc handles the 720p files better - I have also got a 1080p GOPRO. I am slowly getting better at it. My biggest tech issues are sound. I bought a cheap voice recorder however I can't easily get it to synch with the audio from the CAM because it seems to record at a different pitch than the camera. The other issue is that my pc only has 4 gig of ram and won't hack it when I punch in a 30 minute long 1080p gopro clip that weighs in at 3 odd gig.</p> <p>Anyway, I am looking for feedback more on content than anything. I am trying to produce 1 v log per week around 10 minutes in length and I am doing this at the same time as traveling and enjoying the travel and trying to capture things. This proves a challenge in itself.</p> <p>I really want to try and get story arc's into the whole blog a bit better and leave them on cliffhangers, or at least leave the viewer wanting more - this is hard when you are running a schedule and things don't always, just happen. Maybe I have to put myself in more interesting/dangerous situations to make the content better.The other thing I need to do is get other people involved. So far not a whole lot of interaction with other people in the videos - this proves hard when you are operating the camera and interacting with people. </p> <p>Other Motorcycle clips online are really just action footage stuck together with a song over the top. I don't want this sort of footage, I want people to be at least engaged and excited by it. </p> <p>Any tips? and anyone have examples of something similar that anyone has done that I can look at for inspiration.</p> <p>Everything I have done is self-taught. Thus I have probably formed some bad habits.</p> <p>Cheers.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/creative-video-themed-title-sequence-in-this-skateboard-promo#post-74612 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:28:07 +0000 aburke3 74612@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>It's been said that "necessity is the mother of all invention", and there's no better example than the skateboarding industry. At a time when little funding for their industry was available, they created magazines, artwork and videos with a DIY asthetic that would make Etsy.com proud. Today, if you've seen the film "Where the Wild Things Are" or caught that Chevy Sonic "car kickflip" ad during the super bowl, then you've seen firsthand what the action sports creative community has brought. Those two projects were directed by Spike Jonze and Ty Evans, respectively, who cut their teeth making skate videos.</p> <p> </p> <p>Okay enough with the prelude. Here's a cool example of name titles placed onto video gear like cameras, memory cards and lighting equipment. Enjoy the creativity, care of those skateboarders you see cruising down the street:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://skateboarding.transworld.net/1000147774/features/the-cinematographer-project-official-trailer/" rel="nofollow">http://skateboarding.transworld.net/1000147774/features/the-cinematographer-project-official-trailer/</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ign-presents-things-gamers-say#post-74099 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:13:05 +0000 Tim Gettys 74099@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&lt;span style="color: #494c4c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: #e6eff1;"&gt;Hey guys!

My sister and I have been making simple dance videos for Youtube and and Japanese video community called Nico Nico Douga. We've only made a couple so far, but we're not satisfied with the outcome of our videos. We took some video production classes in high school, but we're using totally different equipment for a totally different end product this time. We were hoping we could get some well needed tips from the community here!</p> <p>Our Youtube channel is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/moetwinstyle">here</a>. They're just simple videos that follow the general formula of one continuos shot while we dance (and sing).</p> <p><a href="http://youtu.be/kTyWCT4HzJ4"><strong>[An example of one of our videos]</strong></a></p> <p>We are using a Canon Vixia HF R20 camera with a tripod. For the videos we've uploaded so far, we've only used Window Movie Maker, but we now have Adobe Premier Elements 10 that we are using to edit our future videos. We hoped to have better lighting/quality and an overall more professional feeling product, but we're falling quite short of what we want. How can we achieve this?</p> <p><a href="http://youtu.be/GrC2OM0kXK0"><strong>[What we'd like to have our videos like]</strong></a></p> <p>We'd like to achieve an end product like the video above. Most of the time we'll be filming outdoors, but we'll be filming indoors from time to time as well. How can we get that "larger than life" feeling that the second video has?</p> <p>Thank you very much!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/wildwood-vacation-video#post-73806 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:47:55 +0000 D.
