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/fun-project#post-71446 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 10:17:13 +0000 Charles Schultz 71446@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Very nice, tell the your young student that I cannot wait to see it. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/fun-project#post-71445 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 09:59:40 +0000 doublehamm 71445@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Ahhhh the elusive grinner finally shows his face!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/fun-project#post-71441 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 07:20:15 +0000 grinner 71441@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>So like,<br />I shot this movie for a student/friend of mine over the summer.

The only thing was that there wasn't any real story or conflict established. Good job though.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/check-out-my-zombieaction-video#post-35826 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 18:38:11 +0000 nvedia 35826@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>that was amazing</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/check-out-my-zombieaction-video#post-35449 Sat, 08 Mar 2008 00:18:41 +0000 pshaskins 35449@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I totally loved it.  I thought this was an excellent job.  I only hope to get my skills up to that level.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/check-out-my-zombieaction-video#post-35244 Sat, 23 Feb 2008 07:03:44 +0000 maxzilla 35244@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Wow, that was a cool video. You really had a lot of great conditions, snow, slush, lots of puddles, and everything looked really gray, especially lied out against the cemetary. I liked how the zombies weren't too over the top as well and I think if you went less quickly and spoof action/zombie movie and reworked everything into a solid 80 minute or so storyline, you could very well have the best looking indie zombie film since George A. Romero's original "Night of the Living Dead." Very good job.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/check-out-my-zombieaction-video#post-35241 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:19:19 +0000 RemingtonLMarkham 35241@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>This is a video I just recently did, it's susposed to be over-the-top action, so expect some classic action lines. Let me know what you think.</p> <p><a href="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.channel&amp;channelid=337414644">http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.channel&amp;channelid=337414644</a></p>
