This is the first in a series of commercials thats goal is to promote the Local Goverment Channel I work for. The theme were going with is to spoof popular reality TV shows. The first one we did was the Apprentise. The Spot is about 90% done thought. I thought I would post it here to get your thoughts before I finalize it

LMK what you guys think

This was shot mostly on a JVC Dv500 the opening shot was a GL2.

Nice crash at ;58

any thoughts at all? good or bad

We all like a burnout or two. How about two at a time? Last Saturday the Powercruise 4 event in Sydney held a twin burnout showcase that was very entertaining. I lugged my gear out there and took some footage which I threw together in this 7:12 clip. I am yet to post a decent low res copy so you can wait for that or view the real deal weighing in at 27.6mb now. Sorry, while I do try to keep the size down I don't do compromises :P

Enjoy...

Good looking video, George, but what's the object here? The idea of "burnout" is new to me.

Jay

There is no object other than to entertain. I guess this video is aimed at only those that appreciate cars in the true sense. To everyone else it's just noise and a waste of rubber. To an enthusiast however it represents power and the ability to tame that power to display a dance with a 1-2 tonne scrap of metal.

MTV made a good decision! one troubling thing was the color looked better than that of a Z1! Maybe they did some serious color correction and gamma tweaking.

I dont think they use it exclusively... I have done a TON of VH1 and MTV stuff and they use a mish-mash in the field. I think the DVX, since it is easier to use, is used more than most other cams but to be honest, most the operators are not very good IMHO.


ash =o)

So, here's this thing that I never really acknowledged because of the poor production values. Thing is, people really seem to dig it (hope that applies here).

http://www.joshbass.com/hellbound_jew_wm9.wmv

I did this back in '02, for a class in Final Cut Pro, probably a couple months after I got my camera.

It's a music video called "Hellbound Jew" (It's okay, I'm one of the tribe). I'll let you extrapolate from there.

It looks crappy, to some degree, sounds crappy. Nevertheless, seems to be a crowd-pleaser. Hope you enjoy. I'm the vocalist (both in reality and in the video), also wrote and performed the song.

Yep, good job.

Was the sound of birds chirping live or dubbed in later?

MTV, huh? So did you get a title shot with Trishelle like everyone else? Man, I wish I was in that lineup.

I shot this for a demo of the dolly I built, but decided to try and write a script for it for my video class this semester.

Tell me what you think please.

Those are some smooth dolly moves. Great job. Was the camera mounted on a fluid head? I noticed some of the pan movements where a bit steppy (just enough to be noticable).

Cool stuff Bennis,
The dolly moves were very smooth and the shot compostion was good. What effects from what program did you use to get the "glow" from the windows? Also what camera and settings did you use?

Thanks,
Chris.

Robert: I was using a Bogen 501 head, but I didn't take the time to make sure all the shots were perfect. Everything there except for the shot of the kid was the first take. So user error is the problem (24p might have some small effect).

Chris: I shot this on a Pana GS200 in black and white. 1/60 shutter and kept the gain to +3dB. Used a couple lights from home depot (clip on kind with 200w bulbs) to brighten things up a little. Went to 24p in Vegas 5 and used the color gradient filter to get the blue/green cast. Then I just used Sony "Glow" to get the effect on the windows.

Thanks for watching.

Bennis,
I think I was more attracted to the feel of the different shot not just your dolly movements.

Besides, that was a great explanation on how you composed everything on Vegas.

It was very nice. I like the look of the whole Trailer .. especially the one at the back yard with the rope moving left right.

Could you detail more on the lighting set up for the boy in the living room. That's definitely more of a 3D look to me?. Any 3 angle lighting set ups?

Could you detail more on the lighting set up for the boy in the living room.

It was really simple. I just used the existing light from the windows, and filled in with one 200w light to the left of the boy. It is right behind the door frame actually. I did this to it would be very bright on that side of his face, so I could stop down to make the other side be (almost) completely dark.

Here's a new link of my shortfilm http://www.undergroundfilm.org/films/detail.tcl?wid=1018183

I think that was nicely done, Bennis!

Jay

Very smooth moves, nice job !

Do you have any pictures of your dolly ?
Or pictures of the shooting ?

Dolly pics are here. Thanks for all the feedback guys!

I thought it was funny maybe now you could redo it and give it some better production. The idea works for me. (although it does have the potential to really piss some people off)

wow. that looks hillarious. i'd like to see the whole thing. the randomness of the trailer is really awsome too.

Oh I'm sorry. I had to take the movie down because I got distribution for it. It will be coming out in January. Thanks for trying to check it out though.

When im board i find myself making stupid little videos to pass the time. Some of them come out to be pretty random and unique. Ive decided to post some short videos as a side effect of my boardism.

My new DV short film LIFE COACH has been accepted to The First Annual Haydenfilms Online Film Festival and I wanted to invite you to give it a watch.

After reviewing over 100 films, an expert panel of judges has selected the top 36 films competing for a $10,000 cash prize.

LIFE COACH is about a laid-off file clerk who reinvents himself as a famous life coach named Sebastian Starr, setting off a string of comedic complications.

The films will be available for free online member viewing and voting at http://www.haydenfilms.com beginning Aug. 30, continuing through Oct. 30, 2005.

The top four filmmakers will have their films shown during the winner's ceremony in November, and the filmmaker with the most online votes will receive the grand prize.

A complete list of the finalists is available at http://www.haydenfilms.com/news.php

Each film will be available to view in its entirely for member voting, with the online community making the final decision on the winner. All Haydenfilms members who vote online will be entered into a drawing for a $250.00 Viewer Appreciation Award, which will be chosen at the end of the festival voting period in November.

Haydenfilms.com was among the first solely online film festivals, beginning in October 2004 as a way for independent filmmakers to showcase their works to the online community.

My last short "CELL PHONES & ACTION FIGURES" was distributed by ifilm.com and featured on The Independent Film Channel.

A cell phone salesman writes a dirty book in an effort to buy an engagement ring for his girlfriend. His world is turned upside down when an eccentric action figure enthusiast steals his car with the books inside.

You must have been extraordinarily bored.

Jay

Did you really spell 'bored' correctly and then proceed to misspell it three words later?!

I thought Jay was being mean, but then i watched the videos... pity about rocky he probably had a future in the biz.

yeah, spelling is something im not very good at; but i try to improve. I ended up playing with rocky to long, so he stoped following the laser.

Hay, some great footage/riding. Where are you located at? I live in Bend, Oregon; Local mountain is Mt. Bachelor. there is some killer crews over here making it good. They mosltly film in oregon/tahoe area. Check out NCProductions.com; their new video this year is called Ad Libs, check the teaser out at onboardmag.com mabye you know some of the people.

Hey there I was just kidding about the spelling, LOL

This is yet another hidden camera fake reality show that uses large DVCAM cassette tape decks. Very cruel, but feel free to comment on the technology behind it or just how it insults people!

P.S: Is it me or is every reality show or security scene in a movie using large DVCAM tapes and decks?

Where's the video? No link was provided.

Jay

Just thought i'd post a link to my showreel here to find out what people think:

http://www.archeus-studios.com/showreel.htm - High Quality
http://www.archeus-studios.com/showreel-lo.htm - Low Quality

Most of it is shot on the XM2, with elements shot on my recently acquired XL2. I own the copyright to the music, but didnt score it.

Let me know what you think!

So i finally got around to making my second Music video. Same band that i used for the first video. Location is Basement and Downtown Cleveland.

-Canon GL-2
--Bogen 3036 Legs
---Bogen 3063 Head
----Bogen 3156 Dolly
-----Sonic Foundry Vegas video 4.0


--Would have used my Glidecam 2000 pro but i still havent really figured it out yet.

Just tell me what you think of the video good/bad.


http://csxinfo.net/palumbo/Agave%20-%20Oblivion.mov

Dont worry; i laughed too.

Giuseppe, pretty nice work. Don't own a GL2 but use to have a GL1 before I got my XL2. I got rid of it because I stopped using it but still regret it some. Oh, well..
As far as the video goes you obviously put some effort into it. The thing that stuck out to me were the indiscriminate placement of the white flashes. There were other things but I'll talk a bit about these.
These are still being used in MV's but they are becoming a bit cliched and tired.
In your video there's a series of them strung together when we see the kid across the street through the traffic.
They're not being used for any specific purpose such as transitional devices between images or scenes or something to help drive the visuals or narrative.
They seem somewhat thrown in to fill space.
But being as young as you are (that's a good thing) the video kicked butt on many other levels.
Hope you're not offended, just wanted to add my two cents.
Good job, overall, though.

Hi Everyone, i'm new to the forum and thought i'd say hi.

I'm currently in post on a short fanfilm I shot with an XL1/ XL1s. There's a preview online over at the website showing fight training, storyboards, early color correction and costume tests as well as a sexy photoshoot with the lead - available in the usual formats as well as for Sony PSP and mobile phones.

I'd love to hear what you guys think. Thanks for your time.

Hey All,

Decided to stick some of my Trailers/Teasers that i've made online.
Mostly to test my Quicktime encoding before the next DV Challenge (Quicktime has always given me trouble)

So please feel free comment on both the content and the encoding :)

Curse Of Seven Oaks

Oh for those wondering...

All shot with Panasonic MX300A and Edited using Vegas 5 :)

im 20 and ive made 6 music vids... u can check the latest here.. www.colinminihan.com/theendisthebeg.mov so take my crtique for what you prob already think its worth...

anyways ya ya white flashes big deal, but there is a big difference between just inserting white frames... and white flashes that look good... try playing with 2 frames before a near fully white frame with bringing up the contrast and brightness drastically or the levals.... even play with the color correction being altered within those 2 frames.

aswell... i dont like the lack of wide shots... i used to be a slave to dv res and be like dmannit anything only looks good with a cu or medium shot in telephoto mode ... thus giving it depth of field.. and resembling a more filmic lens.... but dont be a sucker... if your a super nazi and want to get a more filmic look shoot ur wides.. etc... and be like hey they look like ass now... but wait till i mask them out in ae and give the background fake depth of field by using a guasion blur and applying multiple passes at multiple settings in order to achieve... a variance of blur in the bg....
also, try to sell the band more.. dont just have them perform.. but have them look cool.. intercut moments of slow mo where they are like maybe laughing or looking up with some emotion in their eyes etc... just formula bullshit seen in music videos but hey... the best and bigest names do that shit so if you want to make music vids u might wanna consider it aswell..

thats about all the feedback im up for right now i didnt watch the end part it got botched on me. ... lata oh yah backlight the shit out ppl to add seperation aswell.. and u prob need to use key light too unless u already are.

So far, so good. When will the video be available?

Jay

Hey Jay,

That's the question everybody is asking me these days. Still it's good that people want to see it :)

I'm currently juggling post alongside my day job, and am working on it whenever I get the chance. Planning on getting more featurette type vids done soon and maybe a trailer, thought that seems kind of overkill for a 5min film and I fear i'd be giving away all my best shots. Something like that would be cool for cast & crew thought, and to include on the DVD.
