However the stuff I used back in school fits this bill.
1. You're gonna wana shoot a high frame rate on your camera to get good slow mo. When you import it into your editing program be sure to import it at a lower frame rate (24fps at the least)
3. I had a friend who created his own with a part of a bench weight. I'm sure a google search will find one for ya.
3. Use a shotgun mic and a boom poll. It's the best all around sound capturing device in the field.

What do you guys think is the best way to put a 30min or so short film online? Break it up into five 6minute segments?

brerwolfe said:but are you? maybe you are and it just took an article on you to see it.....
j/k
for the record, i know i pretty much am, mainly for my lack of patience for nonsense on the job. and i don't sugarcoat. that's the definition of being a prick to a lot of people.
oatmeal said:I am kinda. It's more the way it's written. It's a puff piece about a short film festival, and the opening paragraph sets up a very negative outlook for the rest of it...
You be the judge.

brerwolfe said:not entirely your fault. sure you may have said those things, but the writer could have painted you in a better light.
example: This is Christensen's second short film, and second short film festival. In 2009, he entered a comedy called "Flip" in Las Vegas' 48-Hour Film Festival and took home five awards.
"But we didn't win best film or whatever it was called," he says.
dude honestly could've left the quote out. it doesn't add anything, and it makes it sound like you have little respect for the festival and/or its awards.
also, the paragraph: "Modern Art" required an investment of one Sunday and $1,200 -- $500 of which came from the parents of Matt Orchowski, Christensen's director of photography.
this adds zero to the overall story. so what? they say nothing leading up to the sentence, and there's no follow-up to it. it doesn't make sense to have it there, like selling a bowling ball in a golf shop. seems random.
but i see what you mean, the quotes don't sound great out of context. but again, i kinda blame that on the writing.
also, would've been nice of the guy to throw a link to your website or something.

Does anyone have any advice on what kind of camera to get for a mid-professional needs?
I work at a community college doing video production and we are thinking of upgrading from our HD Sony Handycam to somthing more professional.
Budget is pretty tight but is there like a "standard" mid level professional startup camera I should be looking at?
Anyone wanna give me any sort of help or a direction I should be looking?
Better yet if you guys could read this OP: http://neogaf.net/forum/showthread.php?t=419878
I would totally appreciate any help you could give![]()
oatmeal said:What kind of filming are you planning on? Long documentary type stuff or more narrative?That'll help with a decision.
oatmeal said:What a dick lol
Lavpa Jasai said:Probably shorter more self contained things. Maybe promo peices, for the students ect. to put on the website/youtube. Things Filming the Presidents addresses, instructional videos, things like that. We're not going to be creating short films anytime soon.

brerwolfe said:what you've been using is considered consumer, the camera i posted is considered prosumer.
if the idea is to educate kids on learning the basics of video journalism, then something similar to the camera i posted is necessary. it has hook-ups for XLR audio cables, BNC connections, and anything else you might need to teach news-style shooting. but if the idea is to just say that you have a video department, then you might as well just collect a handful of security cameras and call it a day.

What did you shoot this with?Fidelis Hodie said:And I'm back from outer space. Not really. Presenting:
Our Weekends Are Better Than Yours - "Merry Go Round"
Number 2 in this little shock-doc series. Great exercise in editing and always shooting for sure. This weekend was a mixture of sparklers, subways, sun rises, swing sets and 32 waking hours.
Hope you enjoy! Hate, love, all comments and questions are always welcomed.

MisterAnderson said:Are you referring to the refraction I used on some of the backgrounds? It's the only video effect I used on it with varying levels of intensity, along with some lense distortion. Unless you're referring also to the fact that the entire video has Eddie chroma keyed and masked?
brerwolfe said:i think it's the whole inverted posterized look. it's a little much. i only made it about 60 seconds in, sorry.
