First try
« on: January 30, 2009, 12:42:27 PM »
Dipping my toes in the water in film making, took me about an hour or so to make it using FRAPS and windows movie maker.  Comments, complaints, suggestions, snide remarks are welcome.  Hope you enjoy.

OK ill bite :lol

Very good for the first attempt,some of the shots are a bit jerky buts thats useualy down to the pc.
You should try learning the camera shorts set up ,its hard to get used to but you can do some great shots.
Overall its very good,especialy using WMM.

I agree with rogerdee. A VERY good first attempt! You nailed the quality, knew what you wanted to put together, and had a good eye for the camera. I do have a few suggestions though to help you improve the, "immersion" factor of your films. First, try experimenting with Pan mode as opposed to Snap mode in the F5 camera. Secondly-as mentioned above-try out the camera shots. You have a very good eye for the camera angles and in which order to display the shots, you could work miracles with the camera shots feature. Thirdly, add sound effects to your film. While this increases the amount of time required to produce a film, it greatly increases the realism of your film.

A very good first attempt. :aok

Thanks gents, after I get some more D25 footage, I'll start messing around with another one, maybe about a week or so.
