    Tips for shooting longer dialogue scene - Outside

    From experience: use a mic with a windscreen, use the sun to light your actors, bring bounce boards, shoot during a time of day when the sun's movement won't be too noticeable Other than that, I kinda agree with brianluce. You mentioned all the technical stuff you're thinking about but you...

    watch Creepy Scarlett - trailer

    Nice job. That glidetrack defintely improves your shots and makes them more dynamic. I've been wanting to get one of those for awhile and watching that just makes me want to get one even more Overall this is a nice teaser, I'd want to see more once it's done

    Music Videos

    I'm just starting to get into music videos too. You have to have a lot patience. Plan on doing everything yourself until you start working with artists that have managers- that means getting equipment, crew, setting dates, and finding locations all by yourself. Also remember that musicians...

    X-Men First Class

    I love X-Men but First Class didn't do anything for me. Everything about it was done well (and it was waaay better than Wolverine), but I just couldn't get into it for whatever reason

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    watch DAY 6 - Short SciFi Film

    Thanks CF. I'm staring to send it out to festivals and that's been an ongoing issue for me. I'm still learning out how to do in depth color correction so I've been bouncing back and forth between After Effects and Color for now. I'm really hoping to get everything figured out soon so that I an...

    watch New Video - "The Sun"

    Haha... well, I agree with both of you guys. Except for my favorite artists, I don't even watch rap videos anymore because most of them are generic and lazy. I like the combination of well done visuals mixed with a good story. That's what I try to go for when I shoot, but at the level I'm at...

    watch New Video - "The Sun"

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Nobody's said anything about the border to me yet- I was wondering what other people thought about it so I'm glad you guys brought it up haha I actually would have liked to get a few more shots of the sun and the sky, but I still don't have a filter yet so I got...

    watch DAY 6 - Short SciFi Film

    Thanks guys. I got all the audio from my school's sound lab. And yeah, I agree about the lighting. Most of the budget went toward the location & food but looking back I wish I'd put in more to rent some lights.

    watch New Video - "The Sun"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BTjg7gyAM4 This is a video for "The Sun" by Chicago duo TheGr8Ruler. I shot it at 60fps with the intention of playing around the speed (although I ended up not doing that too much in the final cut). I'm trying to get into making professional music videos so I'm...

    watch DAY 6 - Short SciFi Film

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voKwEKiSoIY My first attempt at a sci-fi short. I shot it in one day on my T2i. Not much else to say except that the effects took a loooong time, so definitely tell me what you think about it. I'm open to all feedback- good or bad. Thanks!
