Than...Having your input is a crazy privilege, Nick! Thank you so much. The camera movement was not smooth, it's true. It was a risk to post the clip and have people think it was going to be how the whole film would look. It really was just a few frames taken for me to see whether I could follow the workflow proposed.<br /><br />I was hoping to shoot the party scene by having the camera slowly pan across its face with insets of the insects cut in to close ups as needed. The set is 3 feet across from the band stand on the left to the busboy bug's puddle on the right.<br /><br />So far I'm using Premiere to edit the clips after assembling them in Lightroom. I have yet to look into cropping in to achieve a pan in post, if that's what you were mentioning. But it might be something I could figure out how to do.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I thought I'd shoot a bit further and try making the incremental movements more smooth, like I did in an earlier Time Frog camera test.<br /><br />OH! And man, are you ever right about the lag in getting down to shooting! You said it so well. Everything in my art supplies and house is completely organized! (except the junk drawer) Very grateful that you made it seem perfectly normal.

I&...Nice to see you gettin' the party started! I've done a lot of animation, and I still find it really hard to make myself start a shot when I haven't done it for a while. Many cups of coffee, dishes washed, errands suddenly remembered, before I get down to it. <br />I like all the bug action, but not the jumpy camera moves - if you are shooting at a high resolution, like on a DSLR, you could add the move in post, and if it didn't quite work you can change it as often as you like while keeping the same original footage. For that you would need to get the camera further back, as you plan to do, so there is more covered in the shot.StopmoNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983586067723765788noreply@blogger.com
