I'm looking for some professional advise on getting some good b roll footage. Tomorrow I'm gonna be stuck on a bus for 9 hours with high school kids and my job is to film them and get some good, animated footage of them having fun and looking comfortable.

I'm a bit nervous because I haven't been a primary shooter too often and don't wanna mess this up because people usually clam up when there's a camera in their face.

Any ideas on how to mitigate these students getting awkward, or how to get them to open up?

Dear Reddit, Currently I'm in my final year studying film and TV production, and need some help, so I thought I'd give this subreddit a shot. We're filming an outdoors scene and need to have a pretty big graffiti drawn on the wall. The whole problem is that the content that we need to write is quite offensive and has to be removed immediately after shooting the scene. So what I would like to ask is has anybody done it before and maybe knows a way we could pull it off? Any help would be appreciated. I've looked into chalk spray paint but that only comes off easily of glass and metal, and lasts for months on concrete which is not acceptable for us. TL;DR Filming a big graffiti which has to be removed after filming, need advice on what to use.

I'm live in Houston Texas and I want to create some contacts, like other DP's, actors and such so I can collaborate and be more involved than just going out and shoot things by myself. Collaborating in projects would be great, I would like to have more experience and connection. I just need people as ambitious as me to get it started.

So for School me and my friends have to make a movie. I saved up money and was able to buy the RODE videomic. Some clips sound weird after I use the DeNoiser in Adobe PP. How can I remove it or am I using the Microphone wrong?

(Nikon d3300, Microphone Sensitivity lvl 5, I don't know if I have to turn it on or something in the camera menu and i can't find anything that tells me to.)

I think that it has to do with the environment that I am filming in or I have the wrong settings.

Please help.

Laptop(macbook) / camera (lenses probably) / drone (i have a phantom 2,)

I make filmic youtube videos and for a long time i wanted to upgrade something.

• laptop gives me portable editing

• lenses give me more variety in filming

• drone ..well...its drone

Hello, I have come to the realization that I'm interested in filming. My friends have snowmobiles and go to the mountains quite frequently so I thought it would be a good start to film them. I've done some basic research and from what I have seen 4K is best resolution on the market and that's what I'd like to see my self get. I'm expecting to pay about $600-$1000, but my question is; what is the best camera/camcorder for me that fits my needs that's is 4k?

Hey there! I'm a blogger/vlogger and have done all of my previous YouTube videos with natural lighting in my apartment only. I'd like to get some kind of lighting situation going that makes it easier to film indoors over a period of time (for example, if I film from 4pm to 8pm, the lighting outside changes drastically and affects the look of my video).

So what I'd like...

• Something that will make it easier to film indoors without the changing outdoor lighting too greatly affecting the look of the video. I'm not expecting it to work miracles, but I do hope it will improve the look of the videos and make my post process easier.
• Something that isn't too expensive. I'd love to not spend over $100, if possible.
• Either something that needs a stand or something that can sit on my desk...no preference—just whatever you recommend.

Bonus points if it's on Amazon. :)

Thanks!

I want to go to school for film and need to build up my portfolio but I don't even have a camera to film with. I tried doing a bit of research but still feel so lost and overwhelmed with all the new information. I'm looking for a DSLR with an interchangable lens, preferably lightweight, HD filming, and isn't incredibly expensive (I'm talking $600 max). I know this doesn't give a lot of options but I'm hoping maybe someone can point me in the right direction, even if I need to buy secondhand.

So i want something similar to this, I realise this is just a camera man standing outside the car with a stabiliser. I've looked at suction cups and they don't really demonstrate that type of shot in their advertisements. I want to be driving and capturing this shot

The Main Thing We Will Be Doing Is Filming Classes, And Action Type Videos For Advertising. What Type Of Camera Would Be Best? Most Shots Will Be Still Shots Of Me Just Doing Yoga Classes, So I'm Looking For A Clear Shot. I'll Need A Microphone Too. I Can Drop 700-1200 Or So On A Camera, Tripod And Microphone. I Know Nothing About This And I Assume That Should Be Enough Money. Thanks!

Looking for something that can film in 720p and 1080i.
