#1 Definately invest in a polarizer. Get those skies nice and blue.

#2 Crank up the green in post big time! People want to see nice lush colours. (I get the bronze look your going for, but I don't think it's working)

Good luck!
 
Thanks for the tips guys. I'm going back out this morning and should have some more shots ready this afternoon. Someone mentioned something about the aspect ratio. The final commercial will be 4:3 letterboxed to 16:9 with top third and lower third graphics for logo and contact info. I agree I should shoot this the same way.

Honestly, I was just messing around with this one. I'll go in with a much more serious approach today.

Again, thanks for the great feedback
 
If you haven't left yet - you might also want to compose your shots so that there aren't things like "traffic" in the background - or the office building. Sure, those things are there - but for marketing? No one needs to know. Make it appear 'tranquil' even if it's not! And try a few shots from the ground / with some grass in the foreground. And when you shoot the fairways and greens - make them look like you would find that an interesting hole if you were a golfer. A challenge / A peaceful day out.
 
Awesome -- still having problems finding a course though. Public courses require a million in insurance and a permit--no way I'm doing that, and I've talked to three private courses already that tell me no way. And that's after I told them I'm taking some film classes and I'm doing this as a learning experience. I'll keep trying, in the mean time my battery's still charging.
 
Just goto San Diego and film these guys. Make a DVX helmet cam....of course you would be the only one playing with a helmet but you might just start a new fad. Golf safety hats that dispense balls, wash them and refrigerate your drink.

if you have such a great camera, you should try to add more colour
try out some sunrise, and sunset clips too
and use tripod.
 
why send that ?
it's a golf course, they already know that. you need to show what is Great about THAT golf course , and use some imagination to do it. gotta do more than just press record imo
 
I scrapped it, and the project isn't shooting this week like I'd hoped anyway. The client now wants to combine two projects into one and shoot in June. That means we're changing the script, blocking, and everything else I've already worked on. Oh well, that's the business.
 
Well if you ever do end up filming the links, go more green, the brown look you had in your first cut looked like the course hadn't been watered in a month on a windless smoggy day. You could almost hear the dead grass crunching under your feet.
