It's definitely more dynamic and energetic with you speaking to a moving camera. I like the rhythm and motion of this - more appropriate for everyday use than a more high-impact, full-on MTV style of shooting.

Jorge said...

I like it too, much more engaging.

Pro:

Better lighting
Better quality

Cons:

Motion sickness almost kicked in for the first 15 seconds.

Little to much zoom in and out for no reason

Thanks Randy. I agree, i will pass this onto the director.

Not to be facetious, but couldn't Laura do this for you instead of having to pay someone. Just my thoughts!

There are a couple ways to get visual dynamism... moving the camera, moving the subject, moving the background, using multiple cameras. Scott - let's have Mark try two cams tomorrow and see if that works.

Some of the disorientation may also be caused by the diagonal lines of the fence + the camera motion.

Regarding Laura doing this, that is EXACTLY what she said. I am going to give Mark an opportunity to do better, which i am sure he can do, before i pull the plug. Laura and I have had our biggest and only fights when she is the photographer. Puts lots of pressure on a marriage.

I agree regarding too much zoom in and out. Lighting is much better. Two cameras is a good idea but I’m not sure it’s necessary.

Having Laura shoot the video is also a good idea. Maybe with the money you save you can buy her something nice to make up for any pressure on the marriage :)
