I really want to shoot a short film in the summer but with a very detailed and cleaver story.

Im not the best at coming up with clever stores and have heard that there are websites where people upload there stories and you can go buy them to make a movie out off.

Does anyone know of any websites that do this. All help will be massively appreciated.

I want to make a short film that will have a animated section but not claymation more like illustration but i cant find any tutorials on how to make the type of animation i want to do. If you know how to make it then please send me to a tutorial written or just tell me how i really need help!!

Here are some examples of the type of thing i would like to achieve.

Please give me your wisdom. Thank you in advanced.

Hi, ive been asked by a band to make them a music video but in animation.

Is there anything that would make it easy to link a beat to a frame so when i come to animate it would be allot essayer than guessing.

Thankyou.

Ive always wanted to know how to animate things like you would make in photoshop. Basically animating illustrations.

So what program would you recommend to use to make something like the video bellow, and how would i go about making it.

To make something like this ----> ALPHABLOKS - Motion Typography

Thankyou for any help :D

You might select a specific shot in order to get a more specific answer.

Once you have s shot, take a screenshot of it put it in Photoshop, let PS do "set auto levels" (contrast etc..) I think the shortcut is

"apple-shift-L" or on a PC "Ctrl-Shift-L". That will give you probably the best picture to evaluate the lighting.

Don't know if you follow, give it a try and see what happens. To see the scene as it was "on the set" is very often "revealing the secrets".

Thankyou that work really well great idea XD i atached a screen shot that i changed doing it like you said. im guessing he used some gels to get the edges a blue tint? and the rest was color correction?

I don't know much but to me that video looks extremely desaturated, so I'd say he went into a grading program and pulled down the saturation a lot. Anyone else get that impression?

yea that what i always thought as well i tried experimenting but just couldn't get the same look XD thankyou

Magic Bullet Looks. Bleach bypass preset.

;-P

Cool thankyou i will have a look at that XD thankyou very much

There are a number of books on film lighting, some of which are listed here: http://astore.amazon.com/cinematographyco?_encoding=UTF8&node=1.

 

You can see the shadows created by the lighting in the video, so you can begin to break down the location and type of lights being used. You can use lighting gels to create and control colour.

 

Lighting is a hands on process to learn, but it's central to all camera work. Even using natural lighting to it's full potential, you still need to understand it.

yea im currently doing a film course at college hoping to learn more on the lighting side soon XD thankyou

Well this is my first post so i hope im doing this right.

There is a Guy on YouTube that makes videos that are really good and i particularly like the way they look.

He uses a Canon 7D camera. Basically he says that its down to the lenses he uses and the lighting.

Can anyone tell me what he does to make it look the way it does (lighting - What Lighting, What he does if any color editing, and lenses) i have tried to find out how he makes his videos look like this but i cant find it anywhere please can someone help

One of the Guys Videos

Thanks For Your Time
