BluesKing777 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Added my 12 string Gibson track to a video of Sunday afternoon in the business district of Melbourne: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXk-uwBSNFk BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Link doesn't work, it links me to my own uploads... you have to link the video explicitly, very common mistake on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks... I did this last time - I think it says it is ready to post, but it is still being zapped by Youtube.... Try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Link works fine for me. I enjoy the sound of your 12. Just a suggestion re the video. There is a rule of thumb when it comes to panning a camera for shots like these. Slow the speed of panning down to the point where you think it is painfully slow. Then, double the time it takes to pan from point A to point B, and you will be just about right. Slower is always better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 run that one past again nick ? When people make videos that involve panning with the camera (moving the camera from one point of view to another, such as scanning a scene from right to left), they always move the camera too quickly. To counter this tendency, one of the first things you are taught is to slow down the speed at which you move the camera. For example, you might start out taking 3 seconds to pan across a scene. When you play it back, it seems fast and jerky. If you slow it down to 5 seconds--which can seem painfully slow when you are physically moving the camera--the scene may look more natural. But if you slow it down again, say to 10 seconds, your eye can take in detail that is otherwise missed, and the motion in the scene seems more fluid. Remember that the eye and brain are purely analogue: information is processed as a continuous "window" that never shuts. Video recording, whether using a film camera or a digital device, samples the scene at discrete intervals, and your mind joins this series of discrete images into a continuum. The more discrete images make up a specific amount of movement, the more fluid and natural that movement seems. That's why the refresh frequency of the modern LCD screen has moved higher and higher in attempts to replicate what the eye sees when it is looking at the "real" world, rather than at an image on the screen. In any case, the simplest answer is that recorded motion looks more natural the more slowly you move the camera from point A to point B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Nilppeznaf Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Remember that the eye and brain are purely analogue: information is processed as a continuous "window" that never shuts. Good information for budding film and video'ers among us Nick... though the above statement is actually not correct. The human sight mechanism actually operates with what you could describe as a kind of shutter/frame system..much like a camera. the rate being 10/12 'frames' per second. This gives us our unique take on what we perceive as reality. A different rate would give a different view of reality. If an animal had a rate of lets say.. 1 frame per year...then you and me ..and everyone else would look like a very long snake. Time is relative to all of this. That's got you thinking now hasn't it ? better get back to practicing my thumb rythym on the Hummingbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yeah, thanks for the tips. It was handheld and while amateurish, it was another attempt at providing an original video with some original fingerpicking instead of the standard static video of a fuzzy person with a fuzzy guitar in a dark room. Too many technical difficulties with Youtube etc to be bothered in future.... BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
