Boards Comment – First music video

if u can edit the song down to the specific sections needed for each location that could work...but its easier to just record the whole song...also easier when it comes time to sync/edit. Some advice..get as much, if not more, B-Roll than performances...B-roll makes music videos

Article Comment – 10 Ways to Make Your Gun Effects Look More Realistic

Not very realistic if the slide on the pistol doesnt move when firing a shot. Saw an example done by Red Giant where they masked and animated it to move...way more realistic that way.

Article Comment – 7 Handheld Shots That Will Help Make Your Film Look More Cinematic

the cost of "a combination of handheld, dollies, jibs, cranes, drones, tripods, monopods, bungie cords, wires in general, steadycams..." vs. the cost a gimbal...hmmm....doesnt take a genius. Gimbals are everywhere and many people buying them have no filmmaking experience. Clearly the video is geared towards beginners so to speak...but it also highlights the versatility of this relatively inexpensive purchase by being able to achieve shots that would normally take a van load of equipment to pull off (as you pointed out).
