How to Shoot Your Own 3D Movie. Should everything be in 3D? Electronics companies sure think so. Over the past three years 3D-capable computers and Blu-ray players and HDTVs with stereoscopic screens have been pitched to consumers. It's a formula that has proved profitable in theaters—for many blockbuster films, moviegoers have gladly plunked down a few extra bucks and donned a pair of glasses in exchange for a jaw-dropping spectacle. When it comes to investing in expensive new gear to bring that experience into the living room, however, most viewers have been hesitant. But there's one category of 3D gear for the home that doesn't require a bank loan: 3D video cameras.
It's no accident that some of these cameras' manufacturers are also selling 3D TVs—they are banking on user—generated content partially filling the void until Hollywood produces more 3D Blu-rays. As for the cameras themselves, there are several coming to market at prices from a few hundred bucks to just under two thousand. The Cameras. How to Shoot in Manual Mode With Your Digital SLR. The latest digital SLR cameras employ sophisticated light sensors and composition-analyzing algorithms to routinely nail correct exposures in full auto mode. Yet amateur DSLR photos often look no better than shots from a run-of-the-mill point-and-shoot.
The reason, explains photography instructor Bryan Peterson, lies in appreciating the difference between a "correct" exposure, meaning one that's well-lighted and not blurry, and a "creatively correct" exposure, meaning that you actually like how the picture looks. To achieve the latter, sometimes you have to say goodbye to your friend Full Auto.
Exposure is determined by three key settings—aperture, shutter speed and sensitivity to light, or ISO—as well as by how the camera meters light and how intensely the flash is fired. For any given scene, there are dozens of combinations of these settings that will produce a correct exposure—but each alters the style of the photograph. The Virgin's Promise - A New Archetypal Structure. By Kim Hudson The title The Virgin’s Promise has two meanings and in a nutshell, it describes the journey of the Virgin. The first meaning is the community’s belief that the Virgin has agreed to live up to their expectations. She has made a promise to them. The second speaks to the Virgin’s unproven potential that lies dormant within her, longing to come to life. The Virgin begins by conforming to the wishes of others and eventually learns to hear her inner voice and bring it to life.
It is the journey to creative, spiritual and sexual awakening. Movies such as Bend It Like Beckham, Ever After, The Other Boleyn Girl, Brokeback Mountain, Billy Elliot, Tootsie, Better than Chocolate, Virgin Suicides and Wedding Crashers, to name just a few, all follow this archetypal journey. I hope you noticed that the examples I gave of Virgin journeys include both females and males. This distinction between two archetypes opens up a whole world of storytelling that includes strong feminine plots. 1. Learn to Properly Clean a DSLR Camera Lens. The Ultimate Crowdfunding TO-DO list: BEFORE YOU LAUNCH | Nathaniel Hansen - Filmmaker. 7 Things to Consider BEFORE you Launch your Kickstarter Project I get A LOT of requests to help with kickstarter campaigns. Through trial and error on over a dozen kickstarter projects, hours of lectures at Emerson College, and countless meet ups, phone calls and emails with artists and innovators, I’ve refined a “best practices” list that I share when I decide to get involved with a project.
I’ve been fortunate to run my own successful campaigns, but also have helped out on over a dozen innovative artistic endeavors all of which have been successful in some way. What you’ll read here, and hopefully in the future, is what I’ve found to work (to the tune of almost $350k and counting). Disclaimer:This list is not definitive. Story is everything. This also leads into one of the most important visual components of your story, in that you ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE A PITCH VIDEO (and a trailer of your film doesn’t count).
