I hear doing forums is always a good way to get advice and answers on topics, so here goes:</p> <p>My wife and a friend of ours have started a new web series to be posted on video sites such as youtube, etc. We have experience with acting having worked on real movie sets, as well as script writing (which is what I went to school for), but none of us have any real experience with filming itself. My question is, to make the movie come out as professional as possible, what are some camera angles/transitions, etc. to use to get the right effect? Or rather, the most efficient effect? </p> <p>The movie contains zombies and will be fast paced. We are filming in the woods and most of the footage will be during the day. The first couple of episodes are background, so its mostly discussion between two characters. I just don't want to shoot the film from one angle the entire time and thus make it boring. Any advice?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/disturbance#post-67371 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 10:28:37 +0000 Cole Handerhan 67371@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>hey thanks! it wasa really fun experiance and i certainly appriaciate the feedback. The white shirts were actually a result of using the nightshot plus feature on my handycam... the shirts were still black but in areas where there was light it made the shirts appear white. it was frusturating. and yes, my school did let us have access to the security footage. it was interesting trying to set up some of the shots when we could exactly know how it would turn out. thanks again for the feedback!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/disturbance#post-67282 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 11:38:50 +0000 Charles Schultz 67282@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Cole, I did watch both parts and for a limited budget all I can say is not bad, not bad at all. It must have been pretty cool for your school to allow you to shoot after hours, obviously, there must have been supervision, but still pretty cool. Did they allow you access to the security footage or was those shots using a regular video recorder? </p> <p>I saw only one flaw in two places, when up on the stage and when you found the creature, it appears that you had white shirts on instead of the Black shirts in the well lit scenes; The continuity was broken. The only other suggestion would be to have the guards carring flash lights as most do, even during daylight hours. </p> <p>Keep up the good work,</p> <p>Charles</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/disturbance#post-67280 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 07:35:04 +0000 Cole Handerhan 67280@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am a High School student with limited equipment. this is not a professional production by any means. my friends and i just like to make movies, and this is a career intrest of mine. feedback/ thoughts?</p> <p>P.S. as i have a limited number of youtube views, i cannot post over ten minutes so it is in two parts. thanks!</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux26OyLrcwA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux26OyLrcwA</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/halloween-hole#post-40794 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 05:29:18 +0000 robGRAUERT 40794@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> not bad, not bad. The only thing I see that can be fixed easily in the future is the TV. Adjust your shutter speed so you don't see the "roll" on the TV screen...unless you wanted it there. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/halloween-hole#post-40788 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 00:43:24 +0000 iggy35 40788@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I just put my Halloween video up on Youtube</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ZJt_iRzZ0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ZJt_iRzZ0</a></p> <p>Happy Halloween All</p>
