Well I'm switching angles every 2 or 3 seconds, in four different locations, so between shooting pictures and the video there shouldn't be more than 3 minutes or so

I had the intention of just greenscreening him ON location. Is that what I'm supposed to do in order to get the lighting perfect? Because all I have is my overhead lights in my house for indoor greenscreening. I figured I would take the pictures for one angle, then put the singer in front of...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm probably going to just have a sped up background, because I'm going to add effects in post to make him start out singing in the morning light, then go to night by the end of the song. Any tips for that?

Yes it does, thanks. I was just making sure I had it thought out correctly. Thanks!

I'm wanting to make a music video with my friend strumming a guitar, and my idea is to time-lapse a background shot (like taking a photo every 2 seconds then compiling 24 into every second), and then green screen my friend sitting on a chair strumming in front of a green screen. Is this the...

Thanks for the feedback! On the lighting issues outside, I'm not quite sure how to correct the issue of a cloud changing the lighting. Do I wait for the cloud to pass, tamper with the setting on the camera to allow more/less light in, or just edit it in post-production?

Hey guys! I recently just completed my first short film, and I was hoping for some constructive criticism! Please keep in mind I graduated high school last month and I have had zero education in anything related to film. I just learn as I go. Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOrx8jZurps

Or you could trick several thousand people into thinking there's a free concert in the arena and have them stand there for 7 hours while you film

Haha it may just be the fact that I live in Arkansas...

Thanks for the feedback! But here's another question: would my friends even want to act when we all get past the age of 30? You never really see any 60 year old dudes running around with a camera and some fake guns haha

Hello! I'm a senior in high school, and am very interested in writing, directing, filming, and editing. The whole deal. I'm going to attend a liberal arts college in Arkansas, where, as you can imagine, no strong cinematography/film majors can be received. I've actually never had any "formal"...

Hello fellow filmmakers, I am writing a short film about a group of people that have to fight off a couple waves of monsters. I'm fairly confident I can make a demon on After Effects thanks to Film Riot's tutorial, but I was asking if there were any other monsters/ghosts I could create. I'm a...

Hey guys, I made this last school year. It's to "I Gotta Feelin" by the Black Eyed Peas, and almost everyone in my high school acted in it! (Including teachers!) Let me know what you think! My local news station interviewed me about it when I first uploaded it...

We've all seen all sorts of cool, amazing, stupid, or just weird videos that have millions of views, most of them coming within a short amount of time. But how do these videos make it big that make people want to watch it, and then send it to their friends? Almost all of them are very short in...

I definitely suggest checking out the Rode website, they have a large array of mics that are very good quality. I got a $125 one for my DSLR, it works great!
