There was prob 200 people packed into a little area, with no moveing room. Plus there were bushes all over and the viewing area was HIGHLY limited. I hope to get media passes soon and go to better places :)</p> <p>But thanks again :)</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/rally-new-york-2010#post-56206 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:56:05 +0000 composite1 56206@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Craig,</p> <p>Having covered races it's tough to do on a one camera shoot particularly if you're locked into one location for safety reasons and or it's where you've been assigned. When you're in one spot you've only got a couple of things you can do to get good shots. The most difficult thing to contend with is you'll quickly run through those couple of things pretty quick and your coverage will get monotonous.</p> <p> When you can, change camera positions and as often as you can. When it comes to covering a race with one camera and no jib, to make your coverage more interesting you have to shoot with 'screen direction' in mind. Action going from L - R, R - L and Neutral shots will be your workhorses. You can vary it up by getting high and low angles, but to get the screen direction changes you need you're going to have to move. </p> <p>To get that R - L change, you'll have to get on the opposite side of the road. That can be tough particularly like in your video's case the safety lines were taped off. Not to mention crossing the road in the middle of the race is a bad idea. However, maybe you can get permission from one of the pit crews or the race staff to be in the pit area. Not only will you be able to get that screen direction change, but a lot of interesting footage of the car crews working during the race. </p> <p>To get your Neutral shots you have to move to a point on the road or track where the car looks to be coming straight at you. For this to work, you'll have to let the car enter and leave the frame without you panning for it. Oh and throw an appropriate music track under your nat sound to liven it up. Just a few suggestions. Other than that, it's obvious you've got a good eye for the work. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/rally-new-york-2010#post-56199 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 06:07:41 +0000 Craigsnedeker 56199@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Yeah, it sure looks fun :) but I'd rather  video it then race in it.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/rally-new-york-2010#post-56198 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:18:13 +0000 robGRAUERT 56198@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>nice. i love rally racing. i wish i had money for a car so i could start doing it...</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/rally-new-york-2010#post-56196 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:01:04 +0000 Craigsnedeker 56196@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>My Rally New York video from 09</p> <p><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/7224862" rel="nofollow">http://www.vimeo.com/7224862</a></p> <p>Ok so this isn't that great, I wasn't really planning on taking video at this event (just photos, thank you) but my nikon d40 lenses broke so I had to fill in with video to make the trip worth it. :) </p> <p><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/8976136" rel="nofollow">http://www.vimeo.com/8976136</a></p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/finding-funding-for-a-documentary#post-35610 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 07:10:04 +0000 JoeKerr 35610@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>try Democracy Now! they might be willing to help you and they're base in NYC</p> <p><a href="http://www.democracynow.com/">http://www.democracynow.com</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/finding-funding-for-a-documentary#post-34791 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 15:38:07 +0000 darlingrikki 34791@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Place an ad on craigslsit asking for contributions, then at the end credits note all the names of the contributors.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/finding-funding-for-a-documentary#post-34238 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 06:41:22 +0000 Alainstamour 34238@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi OKAL_Ent,</p> <p> I don't know if any of the organizations below the dotted line will have what you're looking for, but they are progressive and they belong to the world of video and multimedia.</p> <p>In Solidarity,</p> <p>Alain</p> <p><a href="http://www.crazyredacesproductions.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.crazyredacesproductions.blogspot.com</a></p> <p>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </p> <p><a href="http://www.itvs.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.itvs.org/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.peoplesvideo.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.peoplesvideo.org/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.videoactivism.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.videoactivism.org/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.indymedia.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.indymedia.org/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.labornotes.org/ " rel="nofollow">http://www.labornotes.org/ </a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/finding-funding-for-a-documentary#post-34203 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 09:36:23 +0000 OKAL_Ent 34203@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hello. I'm currently working on a low budget ($1,300) Documentary highlighting labor issues within NYC. I'm in the Pre-Production phase making the Production Booklet, and I'm looking for organizations or people that might be willing to help fund this documentary. Does anyone know of organizations that commonly help fund low budget indie documentaries? Or documentaries about injustices?</p>
