To help you find your original position, You could also use spray paint around the feet of your tripod to mark where on the ground you set up (put the feet in plastic bags beforehand so that you don't permanently paint your equipment!)įor the moving shots, If your finished video is to be in standard definition, get hold of an HDV camera for the scenes you want as moving scenes.Chromium / chromium / src / 1190491c4f.7d2cf7c407 /. Then, next time you return to your location stick the acetate back over the screen, the acetate will show exactly where everything should sit on the screen.
Make sure you mark the position of the corners of the screen as well just in case you have to remove the acetate. Suggestion for positioning - if you're taking a laptop or monitor along on the shoot to monitor your camera output, a cheapass solution is to get a sheet of clear acetate and stick it over the monitor/laptop screen, frame up the shot then draw all the landmarks onto the acetate using a cd marker pen. There's just some brainstorm ideas, let us know how it turns out! or you could just use a compass to set your pan angle!Īnd if you can't use a physical referance at the location, try GPS, or better yet, ranging (Where you line up two distant objects - one pair will put on you a line, 2 pairs will give you an absoloute position.)Īlso, maybe you can shoot a little wide and then fine tune by cropping? Or even somethign that dones't lock into position, but allows you to use a scale against a local stationary object.ĭUH! (I'm thinking as I type). Then have a panhead with angles marked (or use a potractor) that uses a sqaure mount to lock it into position over or into that sqare tube. I'm thinking: Dig a hole, and fill it with concrete, but put a square tube into the contrete before it sets. Then have an indexing key to lock a caled panhead to. Or many attached to a permenent object, like a larger boulder, or a building perhaps. Ideally I'd sugest a 100% solid mount, like pourd concrete. much like a geographical survay marker. I'd sugest looking into having part of the mount remain fixed in the location. Ok, there are probably more issues that I need to be aware of.
#Istopmotion resolution not matching how to
Q3: Any ideas on tripod mounts? My budge is small so ideas on how to build mounts that can be resued would be cool. Q2: How can I rotate my camera slowly? Not by hand I presume.
#Istopmotion resolution not matching for mac
Q1: Is there any software for mac that will use my last weeks shooting as an overlay so that I can realign the camera exactly for the still shots? Final effect would be to see the scene change from spring into summer as it pans around. Othere thing I'd like to do is rotate the camera slowly. Then make sure the camer is pointing at the exact same position so that when I merge the footage later it does not jump about. What I have tried to do is setup the camera and try to identify the spot exactly every time. Note: I will not be able to leave the camera in the location for the duration of the shoots for obvious reasons :) I want to shoot multiple locations and in some locations I want to introduce movement into the shot. I want to record the changing season from around now until mid summer.
