  2. Still though what's the look on the Canon C700 FF?
  3. I would really like to know the low-light capabilities of the camera and how it compares to the C300 Mk II. I'm trying to find a camera that's better in low light than the C300 Mk II.
  4. Does anyone know how to speak German? I think what you are saying is that the max iso of the Kinefinity Mavo LF is 8000 ISO?
  5. So the next short film is about my town right?
  6. I finished making the sock puppet skit. Enjoy.
  7. Okay, how about an incomplete story without a plot or any central characters to just figure out how filmmaking works?
  8. I was busy with Math homework... Thank you though.
  9. Okay it is spring break and I am trying to find short film ideas. I can't come up with one with the sock puppets specifically with just me and my friend.
  10. It's just going to be a test and I am required to take it for college.
  11. You all I have to focus on my college work. I have a biology test tomorrow. I'll get to it next week. I searched up wolf puppets and talked it over with a few friends, but college is more important. For now here is something my friend and I made a while ago,
  12. You all I have to focus on my college homework this weekend, but maybe next weekend when I have spring break I'll make the short films okay. I am not so sure how to answer this? I just want to make films to make films to entertain myself.
  13. I have at one point imagined making sock puppet films.
  14. I don't know, I just would like to make some story with the camera. Right now I'm just messing with a camera. College has kept me very busy, and emotional. Right now I am writing and am playing around with my camera to find some funny or innovative youtube video. I really want to have full creative control like directors like David Lynch, John Carpenter, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino had, but that's the same as wanting to be lead vocalist, guitarist, and band manager in a #1 gold record band (not realistic). I would like to have a chance to be a production assistant or an extra in a film or video production, but unfortunately there isn't any available for me nearby. Working for a church sounds like fun too. I have yet to ask any wedding videographers or photographers if I could intern for them. I am trying to make white collar work not seem so daunting to work with as well. I lied to a few people that working with computers is what I want to do for my life, so that I could get a chance to work with computers. I am afraid of unemployment and living with a frustrated family in adulthood.
  15. (This is a repeat of the other post I made in a different section of the forum. I apologize to any moderators here for repeating myself). I have camera gear (2011 Canon T2i Filmmaking DSLR gear), but just little to no money. I also don't have a car to drive to a different area to find other passionate filmmakers. How can I find passionate filmmakers and have the proper people skills to have a successful fresh young start as a director?
  16. I hope you all don't mind if I ask a question. I have lots of camera gear (2011 Canon T2i Filmmaking DSLR gear), but just little to no money and the motivation to make movies is maybe very low where I am from. I also don't have a car to drive off into a different area to find other passionate filmmakers. My family and friends I think are more passionate about the military, blue collar, and retail jobs than making movies. How do I find passionate filmmakers and receive the proper people skills it can take to have a successful fresh young start as a director like some of you all would?
  17. There are parts of the location you are in the reflect and bounce light naturally, use this to your advantage. Some parts of the location will bounce more light on the subject like sand and concrete while some others will absorb light like wood and leaves. Remember what dark colors are vs. light colors. Light colors reflect light while dark colors absorb light. Where the subject is in these reflected parts of the environment and darken parts of the environment influence the exposure of the image.Give your characters a reason to be near light or have a light on them. An example of this is a character having a flash light, a character being near a window, a character looking at their smartphone, and so on. Check the weather and the time. No, not just for golden hour and blue hour (even though that's cool). But to check whether you will have enough light during those hours. If you can see the person really well and the person is very bright then there's a chance that you can go a lower ISO on your camera. Practice to trust your eyes before you use a camera. The subject does not have to have lit but can have some shadow, but there has to be at least some light to show the subjects direction and placement like seeing a traffic light at midnight. Where there is light and by light plenty of light go there. You can hardly see your subject when the subject is covered in shadows and the dark, go to where there is light and plenty of light and you will see your subject very well. If there is not enough light then you would need to either change the camera angle, change camera settings, or perhaps add more lights, or get a new camera.
  18. How To Film In Natural Light Not enough light: Move the subject closer to the light source, bring the camera closer to the subject, angle the camera to create a silhouette, use a lower f/stop. Try to focus on how the subject is lighted not the background. Possibility: Use a slower shutter speed if there is less movement going on. If you can decrease the frames per second, and maybe try using a time-lapse. Better yet, for wide-shots use a wide angle lens with a low f/stop. Controversial Hint: Despite the criticism on this subject, do not focus on noise/grain. Try to use On-Camera lighting well. Too much light: Move the subject farther away from the light source, bring the camera farther from the subject, angle the camera to create a clean background, use a higher f/stop. Possibility: Use a faster shutter speed if there is less movement going on. If you can increase the frames per second, and maybe even try using slow motion shots where there are lots of fast movement. Better yet, for close-ups use a telephoto lens with a high f/stop. Controversial Hint: Despite the criticism on this subject, do not focus too much on highlight loss. Thoughts on All of This: Do not try to add any reflectors, add more lights, get people to help you out unless you have figured out how to light the scene naturally. It can be expensive.
