Niros must have one helluva great system to render video with shadows & everything else on full and get such crisp, clean detail at obviously a still-great framerate.

Awesome video as always!!

... and now Kazaa - it's hard to explain how to make a movie. This is my style and maybe is not the best . It's like somebody asks you to teach him how to fight. You can tell him
the basics and some tips, but the rest it's up to him how to combine the knowledge.
I read how to use the cam shots and then i used my imagination. For example i listen a little part of the soundtrack and i think what kind of scene
is suitable for that scene (which could be not longer than 2 secs). This is how i work.

Seriously, that film with no narration, just the haunting music, would make a commercial that would catch my attention big time.

Niros,
I have reviewed Fulmar's Tutorials on film making (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,280348.0.html) and I have some specific technical questions regarding your filography.

1) How do you do the camera shake for the plane flyby's (The camera shake during a flyby gives the sense that the camera is truly there, in the sceen, so much so it is affected by wake and turbulance from the passing aircraft)

2) How do you stitch togeather multiple camera movements in the same seemless shot. The AH film Viewer only has a start and end camera movement. If I wanted to, for example, pan the camera right for 5 seconds, then hold the end position for 2 seconds (World view) haw can I get that camera movement in one fluid shot?

3) Is it possible to edit the saved camera shot files to make a camera movement script? If so, what is the format to transistion from one camera to the next? (This may be directly related to question #2)

Thnaks in advance for your advise and tutalage.

InCrypt

Oh, and your film is AWESOME!
Title: Re: New AH movie released
Post by: mechanic on September 15, 2010, 05:13:34 PM
InCrypt, for 2) I may have one solution that I use.

Make your end camera for the first clip and your start camera for the second clip exactly the same propeties. The vital parts is getting the time right.

Say you do clip 1 from 02:12 - 02:17 you must then start the corresponding start point of clip 2 at precisely 02:17. It is tricky, but possible to end clip1 with exactly the same image as the start of clip2. Then simply whack them together in the movie editor. It's going to take some trial and error, and often work arounds for timings but it can work very well.

Niros' camera work is out of my league so I wont even try and answer how he does it, I just dont know  :lol
Title: Re: New AH movie released
Post by: Niros on September 16, 2010, 11:29:10 AM
Hello InCrypt.
I've got some answers for your questions, maybe not the best ones :

1. for shaking cam you can use a trick in SonyVegas : by using pan & zoom you can reduce a bit the zoom and now you can pan the camera (during the scene) up, down, left and right
    randomly to create the shaking effect (see also many materials concerning shaking cam on youtube).
2. i never used multiple cam movements in my movies . What Bat said : you can use another trick by merging different cam movements.
    Still, you can get some errors at the transition time . I think you can mask them with some flash or cross fade transitions :
             here's a test made by me today : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlMCV6VXhLw
             it was made in a hurry ( you'll notice the pilot will disappear for a bit - i hate this :)  ) - i put a cross fade in there because was an error at that transition.
3. i don't know what that script could mean but you can save a shot which can contains multiple shots within - you have to run them shot by shot and cannot merge them in AH Film viewer.
