Over the weekend I was on a corporate job in the Cotswolds, and ended up shooting a little travel video in the spare time that we had. The fact the car we where travelling around kept braking down made for an interesting little short film, so I thought I would edit the footage together into a...

I'm currently pre-planning a documentary film that I'm going to be shooting for one of my final film projects at university. I have decided I want to produce a documentary on the topic of bullfighting in Spain, a film that explores the dying tradition, whilst looking at why people still/don't...

I lit a music video last week, and one of the setups called for lighting as if it was 'twilight'. I knew just using CTB to get the blue light of twilight wouldn't work, so I did some research and ended up buying some Lee Filters 161 Slate Blue. I used Slate Blue on some HMIs, and softened and...

I just bought a red head light from a seller on BB list, got it for a really good price. It's not one of those Chinese models, it's an Ianiro. From my research I found that the Ianiro red heads were one of the best brands. I bought a Ianiro 650w Pulsar, I was wondering if anyone has any more...

Heres a short film I recently shot using the T3i (600D), I mainly use vintage M42 lenses with my DSLR, as they are fairly cheap, and I think have a lot more character than EF glass. Obviously they aren't as sharp. I shared the video on another thread on DVXuser a couple months ago, just saw this...

I'll try and keep this as simple as possible, I am new to AE and am struggling to do the things that I want to. I have motion tracked a 2d image to follow the Y axis of a video clip. The 2d image now moves up and down in sync to the movement in the video I now want to keyframe a horizontal...

I recently had a short trip to the Lake District, and spent the time filming and taking photos. I shot this with a Canon 600D, with M42 and EF-S lenses, with the Magic Lantern firmware hack and Techincolor cinestyle . Would be great to hear what you all think of this. Personally this is one of...

Shot some test footage with the pocket camera over the weekend, edited a quick video together from some footage I got from Richmond Park. I used a 200mm lens and was surprised at how steady the shots are. Only downsides are the poor battery life with the BMPCC and terrible lcd screen.

I was able to have last weekend to film whatever I wanted with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera, I had booked it out from university. Really enjoyed shooting with it as the images it produces are just wonderful, however it almost felt like a toy to operate due to it being too simple to operate. I...

I'm a student filmmaker in London, studying my first year of a digital film production course. I am aiming to work in the camera department. I put together a showreel of most of the things i have shot this year, and a little from last year. Compared to the reel I had last year (non existent), I...

Hi everyone. I'm doing a research project at university on the following question - How are developing technologies affecting the way a digital cinematographer works within the film industry, and are they making the job easier, or just complicating the creative process? I am in the process of...

I just wrote a blog post on my blog about how to use a clapper board. I spoke about the way I use a clapper board, the British way of slating. I want to include some quotes on the post with tips that other filmmakers have given for clapper loading. I was wondering if anyone has any tips related...

Here is a documentary film my group made for a university project. I was director of photography, and also camera operated with two other operators. General feedback and thoughts would be appreciated, I want to gain what I can from the experience, and learn from my mistakes.

Here is another short I recently produced. Just something simple I shot around London Chinatown, mainly as I am new to London I just wanted to explore a little. This mini doc contains video clips and ends with a few photography time lapses that I shot using Magic Lantern on my Canon 600D DSLR...

This short film was my groups first university project, we had to create a short film, 2:20 maximum time limit - a film that we would be able to enter into festivals to give us a good start on the university course. We shot this with a Canon 6D and a Canon 600D DSLR, with 24-70mm and a 135mm...

I am not very good at coming up with ideas for short films, I am good at the technical side of filmmaking, but today I decided to have a go at coming up with a storyline for a short film. It's going to be a silent film with just visual storytelling and a soundtrack. My basic idea is to have a...
