How do you get the camera to move around so fast to get the different shots? or do you have multiple camcorders placed all around?

We shoot the scenes more than once, and each time from a different angle, then later put them together. It looks like multiple angles. This is the way hollywood has been doing it for years.

Thanks, It is like a special feature isn't it. I went to your page short film center, Very nice, Are you one of the three musicians on that clip.

Thanks, that's a nice collection of tips. I wonder how much of the cinematography was pre-planned (eg decision on hand-held vs tripod), and how much was opportunistic and worked out on the day. Did you say in advance "we really MUST have as shot from the inside of a mailbox". With simple kit, it's feasible to make it up as you go along, but with more elaborate production values, it affects the equipment and people you're going to need to bring along. Is there a rule of thumb?

[jonvideo]

Go over shots /dialog and then when you go out , be prepared to change your game plan and also shoot something you perhaps didn't plan on. Example-, leaving the shot where Lisa is sitting on the hot spring, we were walking back to the car and I saw the road wet and it was empty (no cars!) going down a hill. I quickly said, "Lisa I'm going to put this cam down - I want you to walk over it and keep walking in the middle of the road. I knew then, I had a closing powerful shot.

Very nicely done. I like how you do the narration just like on the special features on Movie DVDs. Good range of topics and illustrations.
