Two People, Two Cameras, Two Sliders
This lovely little short shows what you can do with a couple of people, a couple of cameras (in this case a Canon 5D and a Canon 550D) and a couple of sliders.

As I mentioned in part 1 of this article, your YouTube videos might not be viewable on mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad. For more flexible dailies, you will want to use the Plus version of Vimeo which costs $59 per year. There’s no auto upload Vimeo setting in the Elgato Turbo software so the workflow for Vimeo is a little different than the automated upload for YouTube. After adding your video clips, choose HD 720p from the pulldown format menu. You can choose HD 1080p but for dailies, it isn’t really necessary for viewing on an iPad or iPhone. You can see in this example that I added a folder of 12 clips. The new file takes the name of the first clip in the sequence, which is MVI_4603 in this instance. … Continue Reading

After I finished my normal 1/2 pot of coffee and walked the dogs, I started drinking Bloody Mary’s and waiting for Lou to come over to finalize our book deal (stay tuned for more info). While waiting, I started browsing my favorite bicycle sites. I haven’t talked about it much on this blog but one of the things I like to do is ride bikes. I am currently riding a lightweight steel, fixed gear bike from Wabi Cycles that isn’t quite fashionable because it has brakes and is meant for long distance street riding instead of track. There are a lot of great shorts being shot about bikes and especially fixed gear bikes and I wanted to bring one to your attention for a bit of weekend inspiration. This film was not shot on a HDSLR but it easily could have been and very well might have been if shot today instead of over a year ago. These guys are from Denton Texas and they are very talented so check it out.

Check out Jeremy Thomas’ new short CHRYSALIS. You might remember Jeremy from the webcast I hosted back in January as well as from his other short film which cost $3 to produce. He is a very talented guy who knows how to create interesting visuals and stories for very little money. CHRYSALIS was shot on location using two Canon 7D’s and cost him $1000. PCN will have an interview with Jeremy about this project in the very near future.
