Yesterday was a saturday. On friday i rented out a camera. I thought i'd like to get some new clips to play around with and the practice some camera skills. I only got out the small handheld camera, the focus is a bit tricky and the outcome isn't as nice as the DX 1, but that was too big to take around.
I do feel i'm not amazing at capturing things nicely. Fortunately, i went out filming a few things with a few quite experience filming influenced students so they were there to give me a hand, but this is still something i'd like to improve on. I'm starting to realise i do have quite an interest in film. I'm not quite sure if i'm fully up for looking into cinematography, but i am interested in the way things look in a video. I really really am interested in combining animation with film, even in the very subtle way.
The clips are still on the camera, and am hoping to get them all on the computer on monday then up on vimeo in the evening. However, the videos are pretty boring and mainly just trees and people doing silly things, but i did get a few shots of people's faces, which could be cool to animate with illustrations and effects.

It was mainly after watching this video that i got inspired to go out filming. I really like this video and like the idea of combining natural scenery with animation, something i'd really to aim for with my clips.
I was also introduced to Maria's brothers work this weekend. He has a really nice style and really beautiful filming with lovely music too. The animation that goes alongside his films are not something that i'd really try to aim for, but i do really like them, his filming however is something i'd love to achieve, but possibly just a hope, but maybe i'll make an attempt at it.
