He had some constructive criticism about our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6frd-0Y1DA">"Homemade Steadycam"</a> video. I thought I would share:<br /><br /><span> Hey guys, I've only seen one of your videos so far...well, I'm a 62 year old granddad and only have so much time to spend on YouTube.... Anyway, as an old pro musician/entertainer/producer et al, I want to compliment you on your work, your creativity and mostly....your style. You guys are very entertaining and I look forward to watching more of your productions.<br /> <br />The video I saw was your steady-cam project...something I'll probably work on a different design for my own hi-def videoing. Here's my constructive criticism... I have moderate hearing loss in the high frequency range and have trouble understanding voices that aren't clean and clear. I had trouble understanding what you guys were saying...for a couple of reasons. One, you could stand to enunciate your speech more distinctly, but the second point would help even more....GET A COUPLE OF MICROPHONES ON BOOMS (OUT OF THE FRAME) UP ABOVE YOUR HEADS AND AS CLOSE TO YOU AS POSSIBLE. That would improve the sound situation a thousand percent. Even cheap mics up close would be better than the camcorder mic at the distance you were working on the video I saw.<br /> <br /> That's my 2 cents. If you've already worked out your audio bugs, please disregard my tip. And keep up the good work fellas!</span>Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04128709867005029114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510689913618664298.post-52638380523337153482010-06-09T11:16:00.000-07:002010-06-09T11:18:20.533-07:00Unicorn Obstructions: Bob DeRosa 2Here is the latest video in our Unicorn Obstruction project.

They gather here every year to molt their skin. And they smell terrible. I used my new Canon Rebel T2i with the 18-55mm kit lens. <br />

In the meantime, get into a comfortable position wherever you're reading this, have a beer, or a shot, or a doob, or some keyboard cleaner - and take a long, hard look at the <a href="http://bananaderby.com/">picture</a> attached to this post (you can click on the pic).

He gave us a demanding list of obstructions to remake our short film: <a href="http://www.carboyfilms.com/CarBoy_Films/Unicorn.html">"The Unicorn."</a> Take a look at the most recent installment to the Unicorn Obstructions.<br />

They include making a cut in the film every 12 frames and shooting in India or Cuba for no apparent reason. Lars will ask him questions so that Leth will admit to things he doesn’t like. He will then make him do these very things. This is generally followed by a light snack of caviar. Much to Lar’s chagrin, Leth’s remade films turn out to be very good. The man is a terrific filmmaker. It forces him to make interesting variations on his original theme. It is a brilliant movie, breathtaking in its pretension.<br /><br />So in the spirit of experimenting and doing things for no other reason than, “It sounds like fun,” this film has inspired us to propose our own obstruction experiment. We’re no legends of Danish cinema, but sometime ago, we made a short film called <a href="http://carboyfilms.blogspot.com/2008/03/unicorn.html">“Unicorn”</a> in which Will plays a guy with a mustache who is stalked by a stuffed Unicorn. It is riveting, some of our best work. It is also a pretty good “neutral” scene (at least we think so.) The goal is now to find people we know to challenge us with their own obstructions. We will try to choose people who not only have strong feelings about film, but who we think can push us creatively and as filmmakers to make a better, more interesting film.<br /><br />You can watch <a href="http://carboyfilms.blogspot.com/2008/03/unicorn.html">“Unicorn”</a> in one the posts below. We plan to post all developments that arise from <a href="http://carboyfilms.blogspot.com/search/label/Unicorn%20Obstructions">The Unicorn Obstructions</a> as they happen on the blog, so please stay tuned.CarBoy Filmshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06215287570621078171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510689913618664298.post-14311661216186115432008-11-20T12:15:00.000-08:002009-10-26T22:19:19.402-07:00Doritos CommercialWe shot a spec Doritos commercial for their "Crash The Superbowl" contest.

You spend an absurd amount of time finessing and tweaking your short film just for it to look like some washed out, pixilated shell of its former self. Of course, by “short film” I mean footage of your best friend hurting himself in some hilarious yet life altering way.<br /><br />There are as many opinions about video compression as there are for making a Thanksgiving turkey, who made those crop cycles, and which presidents were in the Illuminati. This is just the best way I have found to compress video for the internet after trying a lot of time consuming and frustrating methods. I’m sure there are some who will read this and have all sorts of rage to share on the subject, but they can write it on their own blog.<br /><br />Most of this comes from advice I received from our friend Coplin. At his suggestion I started using Compressor for all our compressing needs. If you are using Final Cut Pro to edit your video, which is my recommendation for almost all low budget productions, then you probably already have Compressor. It is a program that comes with the Final Cut Suite. It’s easy to use and produces great results. If you don’t have Compressor, find the guy who installed it on you computer or burned you the disc and have him give you this too. It’s worth it.<br /><br />So from your Final Cut sequence, make sure you don’t have an in or out marked and go to > File menu > Export > Using Compressor. This will open compressor and place you sequence in the Batch Window.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsvB8aUuMGofv0V-cWZume5ITqEdLvaYogZwRV8VuxuQmnJJSy7rrWQ46s5vX8wz09ISwEuC9UttjACZJMyLQdfU3kcNM6LlvHDV_w8rjXG72zDN2pWTzieFJA8UQsH3FyjRkgxYrVPMU/s1600-h/fig+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsvB8aUuMGofv0V-cWZume5ITqEdLvaYogZwRV8VuxuQmnJJSy7rrWQ46s5vX8wz09ISwEuC9UttjACZJMyLQdfU3kcNM6LlvHDV_w8rjXG72zDN2pWTzieFJA8UQsH3FyjRkgxYrVPMU/s320/fig+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251726628983989106" border="0" /></a><br />In the Setting Window find the plain old h.264 preset. Depending on which version of Compressor you’re using, it should be under Apple > Formats > Quicktime.<br /><br />H.264 is by far the best codec for the internet.
