The shot I want is as follows:</p> <p>Two people riding on a giant bird.(&lt;---third person) They fly up into a cloud where their vision is limited to just a few feet. (&lt;---first person) They burst out of the clouds and into a sort of wonderland in the clouds. Camera is shooting from the left side, the bird banks to the right and soars further away.(&lt;---third person) Closer up scene with the bird not flapping, just soaring. The two people are main focus of the shot. Then the camera stops causing them to fly straight past and the camera pans to follow them as they fly away into the distance.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/action-sequence-with-vfx-and-model-animation#post-71251 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 08:34:23 +0000 Kenkyusha 71251@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&nbsp;Looked good with&nbsp;three&nbsp;(very) minor critiques:</p> <p>1) the track was off on the laser beam going into his hands at a couple of points</p> <p>2) the physics of the robot fall didn't 'feel' quite right</p> <p>3) the jump to flight effect, he took off before extending his legs.</p> <p>The compositing of the laser beam/rock explosions were excellent!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/action-sequence-with-vfx-and-model-animation#post-71243 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 19:44:04 +0000 SargeHero 71243@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Nice video.

Legitimate film festivals have enough of a scam element to them as is, but when you start getting stuff from overseas the likelyhood of it being a rip-off reaches near certainty. </p> <p>In this case, I checked it out and though there is no upfront entry fee two things set off my 'Scam Sense'. One, it's an overseas based contest in Africa and they're paying the potential prize in Euros (without an entry fee?) Second, you can't just pull up the rules which is supposed to be on a downloadable pdf without entering into the contest. Whether it's just a bad set up on their website, or the business end of a cyberscam, it's not worth messing with. Not to mention they say nothing about whether they'll sponsor a trip for festival winners to attend the award ceremony. Any film fest worth their salt will do that for at least one international winner</p> <p>So as I said, "Filmmaker Beware". And I agree, that VM needs to setup some solid guidelines for these contests.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/call-for-entries-money-prize-4500-euro#post-68361 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 19:45:33 +0000 EarlC 68361@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>This area of moderating give me a headache, Mr. Porter. I wish there were a better way to research and define the entities or groups involved, the veracity of their promotion and the legality of their claims. But I am at a loss. I've canned a few that simply did not seem to pan out when checking the links, etc. Others, I simply cannot feel positive about them, but don't want to discourage Videomaker Forum participants from potentially positive contest experiences.</p> <p>Your warnings are always good for readers to heed ... It's just too difficult to assess the validity of these various contest calls. Wish Videomaker could/would make it a primary concern and seriously follow up or establish some SOLID guidelines for anyone posting film or video contests.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/call-for-entries-money-prize-4500-euro#post-68358 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 19:15:00 +0000 composite1 68358@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Filmmaker beware....</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/call-for-entries-money-prize-4500-euro#post-68295 Mon, 30 May 2011 01:31:40 +0000 fpdc2 68295@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>You can now<br />ENTER THE COMPETITION</p> <p>VIII  PONTINO SHORT FILM FESTIVAL 2012<br />MONEY PRIZE EURO 4.500 - FREE: NO FEES</p> <p>FICTION, ANIMATIONS, SHORT DOCUMENTARIES e SOCIAL ADVERTISING...</p> <p>  FREE THEME  or concerning AFRICA TOPICS<br />or concerning ENVIRONMENT-HUMAN BEING-ANIMALS </p> <p>9 PRIZES:<br />Best Italian Film, International Prize , Best Female Director ,<br />Public Award , Prize Corto Press (best script),<br />Low Budget, Lazio Youth, Best Pontino Short Film, Prize Short Africa</p> <p><a href="http://www.fpdc.it/wjs/index.php?lang=en" rel="nofollow">http://www.fpdc.it/wjs/index.php?lang=en</a></p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/completely-free-stock-videos#post-66667 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 03:04:20 +0000 birdcat 66667@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Iriska -</p> <p>If you do a search of these forums you will find links to other websites where you can get free, royalty-free video and other assets.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/completely-free-stock-videos#post-66662 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 14:21:39 +0000 Iriska 66662@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi , </p> <p>I tried, but there is a message appearing "the blog is open to invited readers only" </p> <p>No chance :-)</p> <p><a title="Photographe mariage Metz" href="http://www.irika.lu">photographe mariage Metz</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/map-animation#post-66591 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 08:29:32 +0000 XTR-91 66591@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>The only way I know to do this is to create a changing transparency mask that draws itself on the map, and overlay it over a red background.</p> <p> </p> <p>The other parts of the image can simply be overlayed.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/map-animation#post-66561 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 05:26:08 +0000 reickh 66561@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Is there an effective way to create a Map animation similar to the one seen in Indiana Jones?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/free-new-years-title-animation-with-alpha#post-64931 Thu, 20 Jan 2011 12:58:20 +0000 micjayger 64931@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks for the free stuff!  I also give away Free Stock Footage 4 new clips every week on my website. <a href="http://www.dryfireproductions.com">http://www.DryfireProductions.com</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/completely-free-stock-videos#post-64883 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 06:26:48 +0000 obstakl 64883@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Guys,</p> <p>We've launched a blog site that contains free stock footages, we are uploading videos everyday..</p> <p>If you like to visit and download our clips, here is the link.</p> <p><a href="http://onlinestockvideo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://onlinestockvideo.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>Cheers! </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/free-new-years-title-animation-with-alpha#post-64539 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 12:40:38 +0000 Aspyrider 64539@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>New articles and FREE download from ITV!

There are some of the consumer Sony and Panasonic cameras (think hand-sized camcorder) out there that will shoot in AVCHD on an HCSD card or hard drive that you can output out to a portable Panasonic DVD recorder. The recorder will allow you to record AVCHD onto a standard DVD and the disc will play on Blu-Ray players. But stick to DVD's if you can. I have been in business for over 10 years doing video production, I have yet to have a corporate client ask me for the finished product on Blu-Ray, so I don't think it's a format I have to get into...yet. If you want to upload to YouTube for really good quality, just pick 720p, 30 fps for your final render settings on your project. YouTube downgrades to Flash video anyway, so your quality will be good. Here is a fishing video I produced recently that will show you the quality you can get by uploading in 720p:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXRtau21FI8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXRtau21FI8</a></p> <p>   Happy filming!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/videoanimation-contest-for-media-company-in-china#post-61443 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 18:32:24 +0000 PAE Media 61443@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Dear Vidomaker Crowd,</p> <p> </p> <p>It seems that there might be the one or the other question about PAE Media.</p> <p>PAE Media is part of the business incubator PAE Piech Asia Enterprises and has the focus of designing brand driven TV solutions for large international corporations.</p> <p>After you register at our website (all information received will not be used for any other purpose than getting in touch with contact contestants) we will send further information about the contest as well as a digital package with all the necessary files to you in order to get starting on the contest.</p> <p>We also saw that where questions about the requirements for the clip.

What makes me suspicious is though they do have a number of press releases online, there isn't much other info out there to suggest a well established company. </p> <p>Apparently, you submit your Name, E-mail and a short message and they'll 'send you' a briefing package that describes what they're looking for. On their website they do give two examples of story lines for 'soft sell' branding. From what I read, they want you to make a commercial about them using their company logo which is a 'Golden Goat'. </p> <p>Where things get fuzzy, is they say they want an 'animation' of this concept, but the descriptions in the examples clearly suggest a live-action commercial. Not to mention, they do not specify whether they want the project done in English or Chinese. </p> <p>I did a conversion of the prize money into US Currency and it pans out to $1,249.87. If you think that the potential of your winning with a company in China is worth the effort it would take to do a 15 sec. 2D/3D animated or live-action commercial, feel free to take your chances. </p> <p>However, be advised; even if this contest is on the up, they would only pick one vid and they'd have this lovely free pool of e-mails and names and other info that could be pedaled to the highest bidder. There's nothing to stop them from doing that if they have a mind to.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/videoanimation-contest-for-media-company-in-china#post-61418 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 23:58:04 +0000 PAE Media 61418@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Challenge Description</p> <p>PAE Media seeks a short animation that explains what “brand-driven TV” really is, in a creative yet simple way. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Contest Introduction</p> <p>TV Advertising is exciting but limited, especially in China. New regulations limit ad time to only 15 seconds per ad; that’s not a lot of time to communicate brand values and give information on important topics, nor enough time to engage viewers with a product and its highlights. Besides, people watch TV because they want to be entertained. The slap-in-the-face kind of commercial break is often used to go grab a snack in the kitchen and come back in time for when the show continues. </p> <p> </p> <p>Product placement was created as a new way of displaying a product during a show. Companies were told that sticking their product into a show, by having an actor hold their product, or simple placing the product into the background during a scene, would somehow drive consumer preference and influence their purchasing choices. But how likely is that?</p> <p> </p> <p>Brand-Driven TV is different. It’s exciting. Entertaining. Authentic. Brand-driven TV makes the brand part of the story, an actor in the show, and weave brand information into the fabric of the story. Brand-driven TV shows don’t need logo placement or extensive branding because they create a setting for organically integrating a company’s products and communicate their brand messages in a subtle, yet powerful way. And this is what we do at PAE Media.</p> <p> </p> <p>Brand Driven TV 101</p> <p>Here are some ways to think about brand-driven TV versus product placement:</p> <p> </p> <p>Product placement is static. A product just sits there.</p> <p>Brand-driven is active and dynamic. The brand is a given character and personality and interacts with others.</p> <p>Product placement is black and white. Brand-driven is color.</p> <p>Product placement is flat, 1-dimensional. Brand-driven is 3d. It leaps right out at you.</p> <p>You can place a product in a scene for a few seconds or you can create a show around your brand.</p> <p>Product placement is a glass of whisky. Brand-driven is James Bond.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Story examples</p> <p>One Scene. Two Versions of The Goat.</p> <p>Version 1: Product Placement</p> <p>In the living room: Exciting discussion about a missing friend. Right in the middle of it while the discussion continues, the camera focus on the PAE Goat for 5 seconds.</p> <p> </p> <p>Version 2: Brand Driven TV with final product integration</p> <p>In the living room: Talking about a missing friend. He is so great, friendly, creative, funny, reliable. Everybody loves him. “We miss him,” the characters lament. They tell a story about the friend eating paper plates at the company picnic. Finally, a knock on the door. The friend is back. And here he is, the PAE goat.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Perception / Tone / Guidelines</p> <p>Dynamic, exciting, fun, communicative, creative</p> <p>Elegant, semi-corporate, high production value, high visibility</p> <p>Use PAE Media and PAE marketing &amp; branding efforts in a new and different way</p> <p>Information should have a fresh and mind opening tone</p> <p>Easy to understand and not too much information</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Prize</p> <p>The winning project will be automatically nominated for the annual PAE Media Golden Goat Award in the Media category.
