Hello I really want to learn to do all this. Ive been reading up on it and finnaly took a stab at it. This is my first try any pointers are greatly appreciated..
http://media.putfile.com/Bad-Day70 I have so much to learn still. Like how to follow action, and to get control of the camera lol. I can't create much so I think I would love learning so much more about making movies in Second Life. Hope you enjoy it even though it lacks a little action. And it was practice so it kind of just happend.  Can't watch putfile try here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=161w8PAC63c |

I enjoyed your movie, and while I agree it was a little slow, I thought the basic idea, and the resolution, were very good. Presumably the poor fps rate was due to your wanting to keep the size of the film down. But flicker at that rate is very taxing to watch.
Hope you will post links to your future films here. _____________________

Thanks! do you think maybe you could explain to me what fps rate is? Or show me a link that explains it. I had it set to 30 is that real low? It was what is was originaly set at? Thanks for viewing and taking the time to let me know what can be better.

That was very good! music video i loved it
fps is frames per second or how smooth the video looks. 30 is a good setting did you record and play SL on the same computer? that may be why it dont look like its 30fps it loos like lag in the game. you could try a smaller screen size recording SL may not look that smooth running both programs. or you could try turning down view distance in SL. but still it was a good editing and sync with music i hope to see more by you -LW |

Aw
Sorry you can't see it. Hey thanks Zephria. Well I was experimenting a little more I still don't really understand fps and all that and my lag shows...but I experimented with mouse look and came up with this...http://media.putfile.com/Pure-Imagination10 Wasn't gonna share it but I guess the best way to learn is for you all to tell me what to do better lol. I still don't have a good grip on the camera. I think im scared to move around. Well anyway thats it. I hope I don't turn into a green eyed movie making monster lol. |

Great first couple of efforts. You really do get the editing concept down well, nice transitions. Wanted to tell you also thank you for filming down under the sea and around my land in Darkwood. It all really made me smile.
Let me know if you want to do any set ups of props or builds.. I have another 1/4 sim that is basically a sandbox playground for one of the groups I created. Would always love to share it with more creative folks. Take care and keep working on the movies. |
