I dont know if its just me but in the beggining the shot was very oblique....and then thought the rest i cant tell if it was fixed or not...

Why are you people commenting on the girl? The whole thing is obviously an example. She has little to do with it aside from illustrating shooting pointers. Thanks for the tips.

This is a great tutorial for those who want to know how to improve their movie making skills or just make videos like this one.

nice info

[glyrenden]

don't forget that you need to get a good mic too good looking video with crappy sound is just as anoying as bad camera work

Nice tips and very professional looking lighting n' all, but that girl! Sweet christ, take after take, she sounds like the ultimate bonehead of all time! Gahr!

[gforceram]

even though the girl is beautiful she keeps using the words "Um" "And" a lot i guess she does not speak English very well

[MithrilFox]

If she's Filipino, she's basically a "native speaker" in one way. Besides, if she's not a native speaker, she's got a very natural way of speaking; you have obviously never seriously studied a foreign language (me? Japanese/Spanish)

[gforceram]

well I guess you thought wrong about me because I have studied Arabic, Spanish, Japanese, Hebrew and Latin I also used to work with foreign people for a week about 2 times a month for a whole year so yeah i know about foreign people very well. The are two reasons why she could be using "Um" and "And" a lot. 1) she could be nervous. 2) She could be using those two words to substitute what she really wants to say which could be why she sounds like that.

[gforceram]

Believe me I used to speak Japanese around Japanese people, Arabic in front of Arabic people where you have to speak Arabic and no I wasn't in Iraq or any place near there and i never used "Um" n "And" a lot either.

[MithrilFox]

If you say so, I cannot call you a liar without any proof. I just doubt you seriously studied and knew any of those languages if you would so easily criticize her; anyone who seriously and long-term studies a foreign language understands how difficult and challenging it is, and the fact that she can make herself completely comprehensible is amazing.

By the way: She's got: improper English.
