Also thanks for starting this thread. I really enjoyed watching your film in the salon. To encourage more people to participate in video production it would be good to hear the story behind each production - original idea, objectives, equipment used, techniques, editing and so on. I know I would be fascinated to hear. What do you think?
I really enjoyed this Josh. Especially "gour pools deep enough to hide a body in" Also a big fan of the soundtrack.
I can summarise mine very easily. Filmed on an iPhone SE with a cheapo chinese gimbal. Put together in iMovie over the course of a few days.The idea behind the film came from one of my colleagues jokingly saying we should make a film called the Oreo Dream (to take the piss of the Ario Dream). So unusually I started with a title and then had to put a film together to match the title - and this was kind of it. Filmed over the course of 9 months in Hang Son Doong and Hang En in the Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park, Central Vietnam.Any further questions please feel free to ask?
I like the idea of trying to share how we did stuff and learn from each other, here's what I put on the entry form for how/why etc it was made.
I like the idea of trying to share how we did stuff and learn from each other, here's what I put on the entry form for how/why etc it was made.The filming done for this short was done over the course of two days as a test run for how we could improve on our production techniques. As such, there was no real plan, no script and everything was done off the cuff. To improve the quality of the video, we had invested in more bike lights and a rechargable B&Q worklight, along with a shotgun microphone, a waterproof bluetooth lapel microphone, and audio recorders. One camera used the Cinestyle picture profile which while useful above ground, underground there was insufficient dynamic range to make good use of the profile.Davinci Resolve was used to edit together the footage as well as mixing together the audio. A significant amount of colour correcting was required to get all the cameras to produce images that looked similar. Fusion was used to composite the end credits on top of the final scene. The first 10 minute edit took approx 6 weeks to complete, with the 3.5 minute edit submitted taking approx one week to re-cut.Cameras: Canon 650d (Cinestyle picture profile), Canon EOS M (Standard picture profile), Xiaomi Yi, SJCAM 4000Sound recording: Rode NTG-2 -> iRig PRE -> Olympus DM-760 and Removu M1+A1 -> Tascam DR-05
Ok I'll admit, I read this with dismay
I image monetisation is also attractive for video creators given with an AdSense account you can grab up to $2000 for every million views. Probably cover your fuel costs

All I was suggesting is that Youtube could be used to host the videos which could then be linked into UKC just as we have been doing in this thread, where they can be discussed.
