Earthquake FX

[LookB3hindU]

You never want to shake the camera. Shaking the objects in the fore and background are the best practicals to use, but it's always better to control the environment via vfx in post.

[bluedog916]

what camera did you use at 0:49 plz reply ASAP

[iMusty]

press 6 for best scream ever

[coasterman59]

well as you can see...

[M0nkeyMan76]

yeah, you wouldn't really be smiling if an earthquake is going off, you should be scared. all in all though it was alright, (try shaking other objects and use more people, then it would look awesome)

[KiIlerCamera]

Good video!

[tommi010]

lol you can just use earthquake effect with sony vegas to get effect :D

[ribenawrath]

@tommi010 yeah but it's a rubbish effect...it doesn't give you the change in perspective that this simple effects would.

[fisherwomen1515]

@tommi010 how do you do that

[DrToonhattan]

LMAO each time the guy jumped in front of the camera and screamed was funnier than the last.

[gooberface14]

wow....shake the camera

[islandboystv]

Hey the text!

Thats similar to the television series "Fringe."

It looked great.

Please do show us!

Thanks.

[poppyl90]

I love Fringe!

[djtowo]

[DPStickMaster]

HAHA 0:46 THE CAR LIKES IT

[vtomux]

That was funny! :D Thanks for the video.

[akush55]

last month event from California ShakeOut site, they have sound files of background sound effect for free....

[cecisota12]

use final cut pro!

thats my tip... :D

[packagewarren]

Nice! Genius!

[xKingBeanerx]

that's actually a very violent earthquakeke a 10.7, "killa"

[SerjayPD]

ahah he deleted my negative comment

cant take it?

[videomaker]

Hmmm, well, we do delete anything with profanity. Please keep it clean, ya'll. Cheers.

[rmysterio80]

@videomaker why?

[Hollstroms]

That actually looked good, really good... compared to like the muzzle flare effect.

[likefiur]

What is the best type of camera to use to make a short film?

[R3APER24]

I would say its more of your direction than the camera. I believe Borne Ultimatum was shoot with a handicam. I use my Sony HDR SR-11 *SHRUGS SHOLDERS*

[fkd247]

To likefiur:

Look for a camera that can shoot in 24 or 30P with a manual focus. HDV would be a plus. I would recommend the canon hv-30 if you are new to this stuff.

[leokimvideo]

don't forget the good old mirror and rubber bands trick..

Nice video..

The Mad Bomber.

[Z1A2K3485]

what is the mirror and rubber bands trick leokimvideo?

[leokimvideo]

It was used back in the days when cameras were so big giving them a shake was difficult, it is a mirror in a frame suspended with elastic, the scene is shot from the mirrors image and it is given a move, not much mirror movement is needed, have also seen it done on a very small scale as well....Thats movie Magic the old way.

[Perthman88]

It's a simple trick and effective for the new comer, but the acting should be more serious. Other than that it's all good.

Keep it up, guy.

[cocoscrapy1998]

i liked it!

[hakerboi5994]

after effects

wiggler

???

profit?

[parrot201]

The effects are good, but the acting should be more serious and less comedic if you want to be taken seriously.

Earthquakes and humor don't work well together.

[fkd247]

Judging by the number of negative posts I can only surmise that the majority of videomaker subscribers are not beginners. Personally, I am looking for tips and tricks that I can actually use in my videos. This stuff will get u laughed at. Maybe videocopilot should take a look at digital juice, indy mogul and video copilot.

[xxsnaketrixxx]

LMAO

[R3APER24]

I think its mainly the clownish acting they do. Its like bill nye the science guy type videos. I know y'all trying to help, but i can't take y'all serious.

[thatgaybloke]

Simple, but effective.

[himynamesryan]

or use the SFX in the editing software...

[videomaker]

This video is here to help beginners to learn more techniques and SFX. If you already know the majority of these techniques, there is no need for negative comments. The videos are INSTRUCTION for people wondering about the hows, and the whys? And that is who we are aiming to help.

[BUMPYproductions]

Why do you guys make such obvious videos?! I think anyone is smart enough to pull that off.

[pilopi123]

it is very good happy halolween from colombia

[REEZproductions]

All the videomaker vids really suck. Love the mag. Hate the vids.

[sonicballer8888]

it's ok. but shaking the camera isn't a good idea. just use a software instead.

[R3APER24]

Huh I can't believe im still subscribed. These videos are lame

[SambaDisaWinner]

i know same here

[TNTPr0ducti0ns]

lame
