It doesn't really work like a steadycam but certainly gives you steadier shots
Same here, it's exactly what I do.

One important word which describes my style: Cinema verité. Long takes, shoulder shots, camera following the subject as if you were actually there. Sharp sounds, loud, realistic background ambience. I use my own form of stabalizer when doing 'hand held' shots, which is simple, but quite effective. ...

I liked it- I don't know if it's just the camera, or how that house is colored but it looked very visually interesting. Muzzle flashes need to be cropped down to one frame. Thanks for the suggestion. Yea I dunno, but the concept of hand held 'shaky' camera / cinema verité appeals to me. I could ha...

Short Preview for Possible Upcoming Short Film

Well I've come back from the summer and wanted to shoot something, so I found a balaclava and a pistol, and really this is what I came up in 3 minutes. Just ignore the titles. I may if I feel like it, turn it into a story. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGhFKjGrVAQ With Muzzle Flashes http://www.you...

I have a few muzzle flashes myself, but some people were saying they aren't great, so i need improvements.

Thanks for the suggestions people.

Mainly this was a test to see how the blood effect was, as i've ONLY used digital blood before this.

I will keep in mind the cinematography, and there was a huge amount of cuts, which i agree i should have left out.

It seems a bit jerky.

The second one is much better, with the added light and tint.

Appreciate the comments! Here i am! The second song was terrible. The amount of blood was perfect, but he sat there for ages like a tool. The acting wasn't great but the killer wasn't too bad. The muzzle flashes were too thick rimmed. He should die almost instantly, or after like 2 seconds, no longe...

'With Vengence' - Short Effects Test

Decided to try my luck on blood effects without using any 'digital blood'. There is no plot outline. I used a variation of effects, such as contrast, saturation and some colour correction. (Note the fade when he gets shot). Hope you enjoy. <object width="425" height="350"><param ...

that's the best you can get out of premiere for the two backgrounds

Anyone ever applied any long takes to their videos or attempted them? I really love the effect it gives, almost cinema verite look. (Shaky camera, documentary style) Here are a few examples. Children of Men (2006) <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" val...

I applied the Chromo Key on this video to remove the white and blue background (the dirt explosion and fire explosion are two separate clips). However you can ...

Hello, I just recently switched from Adobe Premiere to Sony Vegas.
