Yeah. I've seen a lot of FX9 footage.. none with colors and image like that. So it wasn't meant as a jab at the FX9. I can see that it looks like I was doing that though..
You pulled it off. First of all I can't get past how good it looks. Love the aspect ratio. The colors look really good. Would have been interesting to know if this is shot on film or digital with film emulation. Could have fooled me at least.
Great acting. And really good pacing of the story...
A small update here:
We have finished about 90 % of the principal photography for the film. And I have a rough cut of it now. The wholy cut is now at 8 minutes and 30 seconds. and we have one scene left to shoot. I'm betting this will give around 30 seconds more.
An experience I have had with...
We are continuing the shoot after the summer holidays :)
Here are some screen grabs and a picture of the simple setup. Only natural lighting used for this shoot.
I even got a friend to help us with some drone shots. Really happy with how those turned out.
I tried a somewhat tighter cut now. And I decided to edit it in a 2560*1440 timeline, so that I could zoom in without too much of a drop in quality.
I only managed to chip off around 25 seconds.. but hey.. It feels a little bit better at least..
I also did a slightly more teal and orange color...
Appreciate the discussion here! And sorry for the short responses. Just insanely busy atm.
Working a full time job, wife and kids, and also trying to work on three different video projects in parallell 😅
Thanks! I'll try to kill my darlings as they say and make a shorter edit.
I can also agree with that the chain shot is a little disconnected because it is too close up.
We actually were a little happy with how the shot, with the actors, ended up. The priest even looks back at the exact moment the adventurer hid is face again.
I might be able to edit it a bit tighter though. So I really appreciate the feedback!
Appreciate it! I agree that it could have been broken up a bit more. It was storyboarded with more cuts and angles, but we were running out of time and had to try to do the scene in one take.
The first shot is just the camera on the tripod to add weight, me backing up and being supported by a friend in the back.
I dont have a good enough gimbal to make the shot more clean, and dont have a dolly.
But.. I could definitely try to take this shot again.. I have a longboard I could...
I think I have to start at the beginning.
17 years ago I had a silly plan to make a lightsaber fight video with two friends of mine. Well, this never really amounted to anything other than this practice session here:
I moved away from my local city to study, and my friends had busy lives...
That's a good question.
This was nothing other than a test. I don't think it looks good (enough). But I learnt quite a bit from just that simple test.
But as you rightly point out. if I move, the effect is gone. I haven't lit the scene, but rather lit the subject.
Yeah, I actually did a test after this where i changed the color temperature in-camera with these lights.
I would probably also need a lot more powerful light than what I have. These are 60W COB's. (That's why I used two.)
Thanks mate!
Well I really don't know what you're looking at :)
Since this was a test of the Dehancer plugin and some diopters, I didn't really mind the grid.
But I'm really glad I could help you with that! :)
