Never doubt the power of a DSLR for movies again (1 Viewer)

Neat. I'm impressed by the cooperation of various people and shops supporting your shoot. Was that you behind that camera in the outtake?

 

[Sam Posten]

Indeed it was! I got my second editing, writing and filming credits plus my first directorial spot this time! =)

 

[DaveF]

Cool. I used to do Toastmasters (and need to find a new club), so I have a feel for what it takes to write a 5-ish minute short story. But it's different type of effort film it, and coordinate the team, etc.

 

[Sam Posten]

We were literally herding cats (and goats!) this time! but yes lots of give and take in the process. The inclination to do everything your way and win every debate is a humbling learning process. I feel like a better team member, heck a better person, for doing it each year.

I finally had a chance to watch your film, Sam. It turned out very well -- nice job! Like Dave, I was impressed with the cooperation you got from some of the local business people. It must have been a lot of fun to make.

 

[Sam Posten]

Thanks for the Kudos guys, it means a lot to me especially coming from you guys!

Not particularly a fan of the look / filters used here, but impressed at what an experienced film maker can do with what is essentially low end video tool:http://blog.planet5d.com/2014/07/spike-lee-shoots-the-game-on-digital-bolex-d16-cameras-and-scores/

Last time we were in Yellowstone (about 4 years ago), I saw a couple of people walking around with iPads and using them as point & shoot cameras. It just looked odd and cumbersome to me. I have not noticed it often since then -- maybe once in Alaska last summer.

 

[Sam Posten]

It's pretty popular for sure. Not for me but if it makes people happy I'm all for it.

 

[Sam Posten]

So cool. Phantom at 150000 FPS:
