Tripod: other ways to use it

reymendoza — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:25:24 +0000

We use the tripod to put our cameras and videocams on it. but there are many other ways to use it. and keep your money well spent.

The tripod is a basic accessory to photography. but it can be used in many ways. I, personally use it as luggage hook for some of my stuff during shoot

Tripod as dolly slider- If you retract one of the legs on a tripod you can use the remaining two legs as pivot points to smoothly move your camera back and forth. This effect can help add motion to a static shot, suspense to a bland scene, or to help emphasize an object. Just remember to carefully pitch your camera forward and back as you lean the the camera. This will help keep your shot level while still giving you that smooth slider effect we all love.

Tripod as crane- Just like the dolly slider trick you again retract one leg and lean the camera on the remaining two. Since you’re trying to emulate a crane shot though, you’ll want to lean the camera far forward, almost to the ground and back. This effect can be exaggerated by extending the tripod to its maximum height. These types of shots are great for revealing moments in a scene or inversely moving from high to low to help emphasize a character or object.

Tripod as steadicam- The weight of your tripod can actually help smooth out your shots. Just open up the legs and grip the tripod from below the camera mount. The extra weight displacement should help keep small shakes to a minimum. This technique takes some practice to get right but with a nice smooth shot your video will look better. If you are unsatisfied with your footage, feel free to add some image stabilization during post. We used Final Cut Pro’s ‘Smoothcam’ filter!

Rubber band for pans- If you take an everyday rubber band and place it on the handle of your tripod you can smooth out your panning shots. The extra tension provided by the rubber band will help make your pan shots smooth instead of jumpy. Just make sure to grip the camera firmly with your other hand as you lead the movement by pulling on the rubber band carefully.

Remember that all tripods are different. Some of you might own a top of the line model while others might be stuck with your family’s old handy-cam tripod. Make do with what you have and keep in mind that making videos is about being creative and solving problems, it’s half the fun! Learning to shoot video isn’t an easy task and these different tricks took us a few times to get just right so practice before using them on a serious video project. Give them a shot though and who knows, maybe you’ll come up with your own tripod tricks.

The Business Side of Creativity

reymendoza — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 07:27:07 +0000

I’ll be speaking on the topic of “The Business Side of Creativity” at the 16th Graphic expo at SMX Convention Center on june 17, 2pm-5pm

The 16th Graphic Expo and 2nd Photo-Video Expo
June 16-18, 2011

WHAT’S ON?

The 16th Graphic Expo and 2nd Photo-Video Expo 2011 – where technology innovations and creative minds meet, is scheduled on June 16-18, 2010 at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia, Manila, Philippines.

These twin events always live up to its reputation as the country’s premier trade show and marketplace for creative and graphic design, digital photography & video, digital imaging, pre-press, print production, large format advertising, sign making, out-of-home, web publishing, multimedia and animation.

Over the years, these trade shows connect exhibitors with decision makers, businessmen, top suppliers, and industry professionals together in a one-stop shop marketplace with networking activities, learning sessions and technology demonstrations. It is an ideal event to expand business, meet serious customers/buyers, source new technologies and solutions, upgrade existing tools, and network with Industry Experts.

Graphic Expo and Photo-Video Expo incorporate up-to-date and relevant Seminar Series/Lectures presented by Industry Experts – hot topics, tips and techniques, adopting latest products and technology innovations. There were 45 learning seminar sessions, 20 product presentations, and 40 Industry Experts presenting in last year’s Seminar sessions. The Seminar is where creative professionals harness their skills and learn software applications that enhance their digital work flow efficiency.

Overall, last year’s event attracted more than 10,000 serious trade show visitors/delegates with high proportion from businessmen/entrepreneurs, corporate communicators, creative professionals, service bureaus/providers, marketing/advertising suppliers, sign makers, publishers, print shop owners, and commercial printers, amongst others.
