Hey! Here is a Screenshot from stay.com's ad which the inspiration is taken from. http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/3025/nivr.png What will happen is that the Hands should control an app and meanwhile the commands that the person makes will affect some animated characters to move on the table around the iPhone. It is fair enough. But the idea here is that I should show the person in different places. So my idea was that the table should be changed from for example at a desk at work with a pen holder on the table to a restaurant table with a glass of wine. The table and animations should to slide to the side and be replaced with the new Table and new animation characters, but the hands and the iPhone should not move. What my question is then, how can I shoot the raw material of the tables in terms of getting the exact perspective and such on every table shot? Thanks for all replies in advance! -Mohammed

Hi peeps! I want to become a music video director. I've been watching a lot of music videos and i love the way they make everything seem like a fairytale. Everyone looks so well lit. I've been searching around the web for some of the lightning techniques but it seems that everything i find is for photography. Do you guys know any good tutorials or something that can explain how to accomplish such an effect in video? Here are some examples(All of Ray Kays music videos has that perfect look): http://justwm.files....lacement-pr.jpg I need all the tips and tricks i can get, even if it's not lightning techniques. Editing, pre-prod. etc. everything! Thanks, Mohammed
