why was it so bad for you ? It's a comic book movie, i expected humor, action and a bit entertaining plot (not very complicated). What I got for nice story, pleasant natural jokes, great action scenes that were done realistically. I was happy it was fun . 

because its same old shit man  it was fun at beginning but when you keep Regurgitatig same shit its gets old and not interesting. I am big comic book collector i have over 11k comic books been collecting since 92. In my opinion Hell boy 1 and 2 blade 1 and 2 and avengers since i love VFX evrything else its meh

I am watching civil war as we speak they could have use every camera on earth and could not have saved this crap it suck big doneky cook

Armen, why is it soooo dark looking? I seldom see bright lively footage from Blackmagic cameras.

Dark?  I think it look good probably used ND filter since its outside on sunny day plus film emulation. But to blame camera . Maybe he should have use best camera in the world (CAMERA NAME HERE PLEASE) instead of BMPCC. Yeah Armen why are you not using best camera in the world instead of BMPCC

if you are in it for the money and fame you are doing it wrong

Lets see camera spec then first used in the field and then some, before asking for money

For 29.99 you guys can have this bad boy

Start with vimeo 1080p preset then:

Export in 1440p CBR at 90 mbps for 1080p

On 4K export 120 mbps CBR.

 

This is a 1080p that I upscaled to 1440p for vimeo.

 

Just to be clear 2,560 x 1,440p oh and really nice video nicely done

What is the best export for vimeo out of premiere pro I read some people export 2k files size where original was HD so when vimeo does its compression it keep more quality. I seen some vimeo where picture is dam good and some dam bad both shoot in HD there are so many opinions out there on exporting for vimeo. Even premiere has preset for vimeo but quality is ok. What do you guys do to get best quality out for vimeo.

Thanks

Hi guys i just finished mysuc video and would like to delete all the files for next one o create space on HD My question whit is the best option to export best quality for Archiving purposes since i will not have original source files any more do you export QuickTime uncompressed or h264 HQ 422 what do you guys do in this situation

Thanks

For real.  It turned into another pissing contest on a forum again.  

ahhhhhhhhhh ok i am out

I just got here what going on?

Hi guys recently i shoot a music video for a band. Using bmpcc and on board mic. I have also used band music added 3 click at beginning so i can Sync it in post. It did help  but drums wore so loud that it was hard to hear music coming out of small speakers attached to iPhone for band to fallow. So 50% of footage they wore trying to catch up to a song ot got lost and it was nightmare to sync in post even with 3 clicks at begin of the song. I am using i am using Pluraleyes to see if it will help but all you can hear is drums blazing so i dont think it will work.

So my question is for my next music video what do i need to synch my actors voice to original track/song. Do they have to clearly hear the original song coming out to sing it to the point. Is it bad idea to record audio in camera with crappy mice or do i need to invest in separate recording device for voice since i am on a budged would something like Zoom recording device work.

How do you guys get clear sync to original music to your actors singing what steps do you guys fallow.

Thanks a Bunch

My only advice is to give them the best possible version that you can. After all this is a showcase for your work & what you're capable of doing - its free, I know, but no point in shooting yourself in the foot at this point in time.

Also, if you need more footage for your showreel etc. just do a little short nonsense film - the most hits i've had on Vimeo (apart from a 14sec ML ETTR vid with 24.5k hits) was from an Anamorphic lens test of me making my morning coffee (5K). And then don't do what I did & ignore the number of hits you have!

I've just come to the realisation that I really need to start doing more to find work & have finally gotten off my arse! Got one new client already!

what do you mean don't ignore number of hits? thanks

Thank you !

Im still struggling to get to bigger clients, even though i've had great feedback from previous work. Last year I did a small music video for a friend, it was literally small so I dont even count it, because there was no budget, and I wasnt taking it too serious, but I did it, and it was ok, at the time I was proud of it, of course, but quickly grew tired. Anyway, when we released the video, I sent a PM via Facebook (unprofessional, but oh well) with that video and a few others, unrelated to music, like events / shortfilms. And from like..10 artists, 8 responded and were interested, out of those 8, only one took the chance and decided to go ahead and do a video...Incredible person, since the first day he said he had 100% sure we would do something that he would love (and he did, and now hes looking forward to do another one). So, now that this one is released, I already have 1 new band that is interested in another music video, so its slowly picking up.

My advice is (if it means anything, because im not really that experient in music videos) is, after you have 1 music video and 1 or 2 other works, make a portfolio and be pro-active, and send it to startup bands, that you think can afford a music video. You dont have to charge a lot for your first jobs, but please do get payed, it makes everyone care more...them because they are paying for your time, and you because you're getting payed for it.

Also be honest...When I was talking to this client I said "For music videos, I havent done much (he had seen my previous, and totally loved it), so my price is according to what I think is fair in this stage and time." and he totally agreed based on that previous video, and other non-music related videos he had seen...he understood my style and how I did things, so it was great.

Thanks for that info man if i can ask this you don't have to tell me what you charge but what would one charge at beginning for a music video Thanks

Doing some comment on the discussion about doing this type of stuff for free or not,

I just finished my first music video, my first real one, and I would never do something like this for free. We underestimate the work that we will put into something like this, and more importantly, the creative aspect that we deliver. Bands can be tough to work with (also managers, I've had an awfull experience with a manager, when the actual artist loved the work I did), because they have very high expectations, and extremelly low budgets, and our job, is to direct them, and tell them why we cant do it for free and why we need money. Also, if they are paying, they would never get there late, because time is money. Not only it adds a responsbility to us (the filmmakers) but also for them, the clients.

If I was doing something for free, and got the client to arrive hours late, I would leave and never look back again, im very protective of my own time, and I like to choose how I spend it and have my work appreciated.

With all said, this was my musicvideo :

Im totally looking forward into making another one, and more importantly, evolve.

That is some good work man. I understand you not doing it for free but how does one gets clients with no work to show or demo reel. What my plan is doing 3 music videos 3 personal projects and 3 spec commercials just to have something to show. And i am working with what i have

Hwo did you get to do this music video did your demo get you there or contact

Amen, brother!

They paid after that video & apologised for the shitty filming day!

How are you going to grade your video? I noticed that you cropped the sides, so are you going for a super8 type grading vibe?

Yes i will grade well not grade just use some colorista in premiere change a bit spend few hours and give it to them i am almost done. But my version i will use spend good time on color.

Crop is just sd low quality that premiere did final is full HD

And getting paid is nice and apology is nice to goes longggg way

Well, you don't see the 2 additional storytelling scenes that never made it into the shoot and tied together a few concepts --because so many people bailed on their responsibilities.  Once that fell apart, I was forced to stretch stuff to cover those gaps, which sucked some of the sophistication right out of the production.  The end result is basically just a glorified performance video.  It was originally a bit more than that.  Alas!

Anyway, lay people don't exactly know what's involved to craft stuff, and no matter how much you pound it into their heads that A+B=C, they tend to think "C" can just somehow happen on it's own, like magic.  Some get it.  Some do not. 

LOL A+B=C, they tend to think "C. reminds me of that but my 16 year old cousin can do the editing its not that hard

Just now, Bioskop.Inc said:

Looks fine enny & you did do more edits, so bound to be tighter. For a free video there's no problems with what you've done - i've seen worse videos that peole have actualy paid for (out of sync, shoddy camera work, bad CC etc...).

So as promised, here's my first unpaid gig and as I said it was a complete nightmare, so much so I nearly walk off and only didn't cause it was a bit of a trek with all my gear.

They were 3hrs late going on stage (not entirely their fault, but partly); The crowd that they so desperately wanted went away; The wide shot I told them I needed to get during the soundcheck never really happened (the 20/30secs I got is at the beginning); The stage was so small, it was laughable (they made it seem that they would be playing the main stage!); I wasn't allowed to get a live recording from the mixxing desk, as they were going to do that (they didn't).

The only shots of them performing the song are the wide shot at the beginning, the drummer & the close up of the bass player. Everything else was taken from other songs & I recorded the singer another day in my mum's upstairs room & on her balcony!

Enjoy, I didn't!

 

that is still good work man i could not tell she was not on stage half the time power of editing

Just now, ricardo_sousa11 said:

Looking nice :D 

 

Some parts seem to be off-synch though, the first shot seems to be off synch looking at the drummer, I'd fix that.

Thanks

off synch yes my first edit is just rough edit or template i do my audio on second then on 3th edit i fix it all make i tighter.

I did a vid for free 4 years ago.  Spend a good amount of time working with the band in pre-pro, arranging things, doing it all for free.  Because, hey, "fun" right?  Also, one of the kids in the group was related to me, so I figured I'd help.

Well, shoot day shows up and I'm the only one there on schedule building the set.  They're hours late, about 10% of their promised background actors (their big responsibility) for the concert scene actually show up, and I had to recruit a neighborhood kid to help me do lighting.

Had to completely improvise on set to try and salvage something around the limitations of it all.

When they watched the clip for the first time they only had criticisms because end result wasn't anything like we had talked about in pre-production.  I laughed out loud at 'em.  Not angry or anything, just had to tell 'em how things either work or don't work depending on collaboration.  And 1st cut was the final cut.

--And, oh, I could also tell you about the guy I traveled across the country to film who then never showed for the gig and wouldn't answer his phone.  That was wonderful.

Meh.  Local indy bands.  Whatyagonnado?  The best bet it to treat it like a paying gig, including the up front paperwork/contracts/releases, and you give yourself a bit of a security net.

 

dudeeeeeeeee that is dam good that is like 30 times more work then me what part don't they like its  great music video great set nice idea. I think when people are not paying they think they can change and do what ever they like but when you tell them they have to pay for extra changes then they agree and can live with original idea.

But defiantly in my nest music video nest moth it will be all contract and put on paper. If they dont like it read the contract that is the only way to go free to paying

Again great work man

Hi guys thanks again for all the reply's and help Basically few night back i told him this is your final change 3th change but i am not going to change it so much where my edit or so called artistic ability is compromised and that he is not getting raw footage and if he wants the raw footage it will be 2300 he never mentioned raw footage again. I am being diplomatic here and calm i mean we all are just he is bit difficult.

Here is a first edit i did in 4 hours. That i have on line

PASS 905

All shoot on BMPCC some lights and yashica 23mm

Where are you in the world, as each country will be different. Basically, if you're doing things for free, get consent forms signed & once they do that, you've got them - they've consented to you filming them & being able to do what the hell you want afterwards. This can be how Docs can twist people's words, because there's always a clause in there about editing, which is so ambiguous that it can mean that you can do what the hell you like (used to work for the BBC & that always made me laugh when people signed the form!).

Here is an English & an American resource:

Go down the page as it has some legal stuff (I know its not for music videos, but it'll give you an idea)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/filmnetwork/filmmaking/guide/before-you-start/checklist

http://www.desktop-documentaries.com/copyright-issues.html

In my case, I should have known better & am a stupid fucking idiot!!!!!! What i've been doing is making the video private (password protected), since i'm applying for jobs, and I just give them the link + password, whilst making it quite clear that it isn't finished yet & i'm still to be paid!

Quite frankly, if they want to enter it into a competition like that get them to sign something saying that you can still use the footage (regardless of what they do with it) & get them to pay you!

Remember, you've got the footage & video - so you're in control!

Also, meet them face-to-face, as it changes the dynamic completely & people behave like idiots when they're hiding behind e-mail etc. but they change when they're in front of you! Maybe bring a friend or two along, for moral support & tell them to chime in if they want - gang mentality!

I am in Canada i will try to get them to sign a consent form does a consent form has to be region specific

Thanks
