Filming Tips and Tricks

Since I've been so into filming/directing/editing lately, I've been sucked into the world of YouTube tutorials. Specifically, videos by Peter McKinnon and a channel called Film Riot. Every video that I watch I learn something new.

Having only recently started watching his videos, I don't know much about Peter McKinnon. However, I do know that he has amazing tips for photography and cinematography and he's incredibly skilled with a camera. So far, I've only watched Premiere editing and filming related videos, and he seems to know everything there is to know. Mostly, he has brought to light helpful tips or editing techniques that you wouldn't realize existed unless you stumbled upon them. 
(However, he also does Photoshop tutorials, so if you're interested, I would highly recommend checking them out!)
Below is the most recent video I have watched by Peter. In the video, he talks about a multi-camera editing mode you can do in Premiere. I'm so happy I found this video because we (the group of students who are filming the Baccorielantejdfb*** video this week) are about to use a multi-camera technique for filming interviews, so this technique will be super helpful to our editor!
However, I also want to test this technique for filming dialog scenes sometime in the near future. It's super cool/helpful!

Again, I don't know much about Film Riot either. However, I do know that they also have insanely helpful tips. They talk a lot about equipment, big film production related tips, editing specific shots/specialty editing (ex. screen replacement, cinematic effects, and the video below), audio editing, and much more! They also are constantly working on their own short films, so it's really cool to see their process to making those projects.
Also: During the editing of my short film Violet, I learned (from Film Riot) how to denoise and edit audio, which saved my life. ;)
Below is also the most recent video I watched by Film Riot. They talk about "The Frozen in Time Effect". Very cool!

Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

The Art Of Trevor Henderson

Hello everyone! today I'm going to talk about one of my favorite Instagram artists, Trevor Henderson! The reason why I like Trevor Henderson's art is that I really like how disturbing and creepy is art is. Here are a few examples of some of his art.
