Here is Part 2

ENJOY!

Hey guys, i have been working for a company called UNZIPMedia and we just made our first short film called "List" Would love you guys to have a look and give me some advice, likes and dislikes. I was the DOP on the shoot and it was my first project. Thanks to Youtube Part 2 wasnt up in time so you can check it out tomorrow.

So have a look, but be nice, it is my first piece of DOP work :lol:

Thanks

George.

Really Really awesome, I can't believe that is your first stop motion! Great work, i cant wait to see more

Thanks very much Todd!! I will keep you posted if i do another one.

Thought i would post this up for any of the football fans on here. I was asked to film for Red Bull at the Football Street style Final in London, Camden. Was a great day with free Red bull and amazing footballers, including Edgar Davids. Was lucky enough for the video to be featured on Nuts.co.uk. But here is the link from Youtube.

If you are a Youtube member would be nice if you commented on it or rated it.

cheers guys

George.

bump :)

What you mean by that?

Sorry i know what you mean, wrong forum!!

Thanks very much!

Great pixilation!

What you mean by that?

BUMP!

awesome video, i assume you've seen "paul vs tony". If not they're on youtube and they're pretty much the celebrities of doing similar style stop motion videos.

Yep, i got inspiration from them. I would love my film to be recognised like theirs!

Thanks for viewing!

Haven't had a chance to look at it yet George, but I assume you mean five THOUSAND?

Yeah your right Karl, 5000 photos, i forgot a "0" on the previous reply. But have a look and give a comment or rate if you can.

Thanks.

Great! Did you just take stills or use video and undercrank/use an intervelometer?

 

Aaron

Yep, just stills, over 5,00. I'm glad you liked it. Intervelometer sounds complicated!

Thanks Tom and Serge. It is my first time, but i know there are some stop motion experts on here, so its great to get you opinions.

im 17 by the way.

This is my final A-level project for Film Studies. Story is a bit random, but thought i would showcase my stop motion techniques. First time i have ever done a stop motion film so sorry for any mistakes you see.

Hope you enjoy it.

Any Comments welcome.

Thanks

George.

Wow wet dream indeed!

Thanks Tom.

Hey Tom quick question, Im doing a stop motion project and i want to do a night sky. How often would you take a photo?

Much Appreciated.

George

Hey,

All great shots, creative lighting. But all i would say is that it was too static for me. Only around 4 or 5 movement shots.

And great choice of music.

I would make sure that the majority of the film was done handheld. And then if you are doing interviews place the camera on a tripod. But it also depends on what sort of documentary you are doing? Fancy telling us a bit more about your idea.....

Thanks Brian great help.

......

Thanks Justin, but doesn't really answer my question. But i know what you mean.

Come on guys!! Someone must of had the same situation as me!!

Hey guys.

I have a real dilemma and i know this is the best place to come for help. I live in the UK and in my second year of College. Basically i really dont know whether to go to University and get a degree in Cinematography or go straight into getting experience out in the field?!

Here is the site im interested in: http://onlineservices.bournemouth.ac.uk/co...aspx?course=632

Some help would be great. Thanks.

George.

P.S Anyone want to offer me some work experience...... :lol:

Oh, and most the good filmers in my sport have nice sony's like George Simpson suggested, or HD camcorders that are outta my price range, I dont want to spend a whole lot because I dont know how serious about filming I am, I LOVe watching a well cinematographized video, and Id love to be that good, but I dont know if I am that good, and I dont know if I am willing to do what it takes to get that good, I need to understand that before I invest into any SERIOUS equipment.

Thats fair enough, but i do think HD is the way forward. There are cheap HD camcorders out there, maybe around £500, just have a look around. Maybe this.....http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&q=HD+camcorders&cid=10305873419517069581&sa=title#p

I would recommend the camera i use alot which is the Sony VX2100E, almost the same quailty as an HD camera but the problem is frame rate. Im guessing your gonna be doing alot of slow motion shots (i sure do) and i think HD is the best way to go for that smoothness effect.
