Shiny New Wide Angle Lens+Test Video.

Gyro · Post by **Gyro** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 2:45 am

I recently purchased myself a nice little wide angle lens for my handy cam, the thing works great. Excellent for different angles and what not. Just can't use it in close ups (Looks unproffessional)

Here is a crazy little film my buddy and I made in about an hour to test out the new lens, the movie is quite odd and doesn't make much sense, but Ornsack (not entirely sure why) said he liked it and it's got some nice shots with the new lens, so take a hinker.

Ya, I edited it in about 5-10 minutes so it wasn't too shiny in that way, but the lens?

lol it was this old lady and i thought she was going to try and get something out of me like money...so i had my "sister's" name put down as "Sophonda Cox"...get it? Otherwise nice movie, try to get a better bit-rate tho.

Course it sucks, had to make it small for easy download. Gotta keep it fresh for the fans.

It's posts like that which are ruining this forum. The constant snapping and yapping at everyone. Oooh taking people off of your MSN, you say it like fighting talk

Anyway on topic, I thought it was a great little film for the amount of time it took! Loads of people fail to make stuff like that in such a short space of time

When the Salesmen throws the bag of stuff at the door and runs off; that's so Napoleon Dynamite.

Nice lens though.

Well, since I deleted Vietcong from Epsilon's server, all I have online right now is The Hit. Less than an hour to make (about forty five minutes to be exact - half an hour to film, fifteen to edit)

A bit too fish-eyed for my tastes.... but maybe I'm seeing things. Other than that pretty solid beyond other points made.

Thanks for the comments guys! Keep 'em coming!

Watched the film. Although it didn't have much of a story (but you pointed that out before i downloaded it)
I couldn't hear the dialogue very well, but the compression may have been the cause there.

For the time it took you, i think it was ok. You got a lot of shots, which is something many film-makers don't do. Kudos there.
The wide angle lens is nice, it helps a lot. Also what you find with you using an on board mic, you can get closer to the actor, so the sound is clearer,
yet still remain fairly wide.

You show promise Gyro, keep it up!
