Trying Out Something New with Video-Hired a Pro to Shoot my Blog today
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.
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 :)

ReplyDeleteI like it too, much more engaging.
ReplyDeletePro:
ReplyDeleteBetter 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.
ReplyDeleteNot to be facetious, but couldn't Laura do this for you instead of having to pay someone. Just my thoughts!
