Word on the street is Zarban's part is not as enormous as his publicist makes out.

Perhaps if it's a very small rubber nose?

Re: DIF Community Project: DIF Road Trip!

And we've got our first footage in! Thanks Vidina!

I'mma show you some of this stuff, just remember that he's kind of cheating, because he lives in fucking Norway and had a real camera lying about. I expect most folks won't have access to either of those things (real camera, Norway), so whatever you're already planning is still the right way to go with it.

I'm just a little bit freaking excited right now. This thing is gonna work.

Here's what a back-left passenger shot looks like.

Here's what he got for his "out of the car" bit. Sigh. Fucking Norway.

And here's his out-the-windshield shot.

http://www.downinfront.net/rt/vid3.jpg

Vidina did awesome here, and props for the fast turnaround. I'm gonna use these images as an example, though, so other folks can benefit from it. The passenger angle is great. The out the windshield thing is exactly what I'm lookin' for. As for the out-of-the-car shot, what he got here will totally work for me, but if you want to go a different angle with yours, go for it. This one is a flat angle from inside the car, you could do anything. (As long as you don't see the car, natch.)

And no, I probably won't be posting more stills from people's footage. Probably.



This is going to work.  smile

This is pure, genuine cheating. The out-of-the car shot is right outside his house. Goddammit, Norway.

Ha!

The fun of this thing is gonna be how much the scenery and video quality run the gamut. My video is gonna be on a Flip cam.

How do you know that wasn't why he was at the bottom of the Mariana Trench the other day?

We have the Aussie outback that's close...  Bit of a wrong colour though.  Should make for an interesting montage at the end but I'm guessing I need to go someplace a bit more impressive for my exit scene than the local Kmart carpark to compete with bloody norway  tongue

You're too kind.


On a side-note, though, I was directed to be in the back right, not left. You flipped me, Teague! tongue

Depends on what you're using as reference. If you imagine a top down view of the car with the hood at the top. Teagues way is correct. However if you imagine that you are in the drivers or passengers seat looking over your shoulder, then you are correct.

See Teague, this is why I said you should make a map for people.

Re: DIF Community Project: DIF Road Trip!

Everyone understands what's going on here, let's not confuse it. The back left is the back left, the back right is the back right.

He is back right. He didn't have a green shirt.

I flipped his image up there because blue shirts always go in the back left, and I didn't want folks getting confused seeing a blue shirt in the back right and then - *ahem* - getting unnecessarily confused about what I mean by back right or left. And then everyone is filming on the wrong side, and cats and dogs look for apartments together, and someone dies, and it's all my fault.

I'm going to change it to green in post, and he'll be in the back right, and all is well with the world.

cool

I feel for you, man. I did attempt to change the color, but there's too much blue in the shots to get away with it the easy way tongue

I think I need to add Norway to my travel list.

//checks flights

Less than $1,400.  Not this year, but doable. Got a spare bunk Tom?

Re: DIF Community Project: DIF Road Trip!

I tried to shoot mine on Saturday and stumbled over some of the directions. I may PM for help. I won't be able to try again until next Saturday, for the usual travel reasons.
