Quick-Crit 2010

I'm totally up for that man


Another thing for people to 'possibly' crit on for me:




I filmed and edited this It's pretty much done, but i know the biggest crit we've been getting is that is such a small section, but that was the brief - to make an extact so we did

Nice video, but the editing could use some work, especially the foot steps. They were painfully off and out of sync.

I thought it was pretty good, and I tried not to remember your normal voice and it made voice over sound better.

That was not me doing the voice over btw - some people say it was, but my voice is no where near as good as that guys. His voice is better than mine tbh, i know some people don't like it, but i think it fits in with the video pretty well. Mine would have been worse.

And yeah the two things you guys have picked up on - The footsteps and the disabled toilet sign, are the two things others have pointed out - it's good to see that people are picking out the same things we did.

Thanks again guys.

Im taking two film classes right now, and im in the process of editing a film. After 4 hours of cutting clips together, you kind pick up on when the foot steps are out of sync

(yeah i fucked with the colours, sue me)

Looks kinda over-sharpened. Little to no shadow detail in the trees. Expose for the shadows, process for the highlights. If possible, that is.

Cold colors give it a very negative atmosphere.

Thanks Reaper. That was indeed a plane, and I think I used planar instead of cylindrical for the stitching. I'll know better next time. I also tried to expose for those trees at first but the sky just got all washed out and white and unpleasant. I figured it was probably better to keep the same exposure throughout the pictures, right?

[Reaper Man]

Yeah, you should be shooting manual for the whole thing. Hm, I guess it's hard to get the shadow detail in such a situation without either a graduated ND filter or using HDR.

How would I go about making an HDR panorama? Do I create a pano for each exposure then try to line them up and merge them, or what?

If you're taking them off a tripod, you should be able to either merge each shot into HDR then combine into a panorama, or combine each set into a panorama and then merge them using Photomatix. Personally i'd merge the shots in Photomatix first before combining into a panorama, just incase your pano program merges each pano differently which will cause trouble for photomatix.

Take bracketed shots before you continue panning.
