@BFG12043 They often do the only thing you need to watch out for is camera's in frame and colour differences. I often find that in small locations you can't setup 2 cameras or at least not in the perfect angle you want them to be.

Gives little credibility when the white balance is off, audio has echos, he doesn't even use the multi angle technique in any of his videos... umm... Low budget amateur village? I know these videos are old, but this video just feels too ironic to deliver credibility.

[BFG12043]

instead of filming several times at different angles... just get 3 or 4 cheap cameras and hit record on them all together, sync them and do the rest (swaps and cuts) in post production... surely that would guarantee consistency... lol

The Shining wasn't boring XD...but you're right, nowadays the more creative you get the more the audience will stay with it and not get bored! Good tips!

@flashportalnet - would you want to stare at the same exact shot for 4 minutes straight?

[HalfLifeHalfDead]

On the contrary IF you know how to use that to your advantage. Just go see Hitchcock's Rope and you'll get what I mean.

Sometimes one angle can be effective if its a quick and brutal fight scene or 2 people having an intense Argument and fighting and tearing up the room, follow the actors around carefully and it will be a drawdropping scene.

Thanks Cory

I totaly agree with you about not zooming in during the shoot and getting some details to help is PP.

You very simple but precious lessons.
