Can't disagree with that.

Pretty much, what I say to anyone making videos, no matter how short or simple, 
is to tell a story. If you've never made a video before in your life, but can 
sit around a table with friends, and tell a story - you can make good videos. 
Technical ability helps, sure, but certainly not essential. Even a 30 second 
shot from a phone (vertically!) can tell a great story and be compulsive 
viewing. Yet some professional half hour documentaries are so bad that I switch 
off within 5 minutes. I would rather sit through an engaging film abut 
something I'm not interested in, than bang my head trying to like an awful film 
about something I love doing.

Even your lens review has a good story - from the outset the viewer wants to 
know what you think - 'is this going to be a good lens or a bad lens'?? The 
simplest story in the world. And if the images and sound are engaging then 
we'll watch and wait til the end to find out. Job done!

The hardest films to make are the short ones. I recently made a half hour about 
a historic sailing ship. As part of the deal, the ship operators were to get a 
5 minute 'short' advertorial. That was not easy! But do-able. The result is on 
this page, at right:



So keep going. Presenter-led pieces are fine - but be confident about your 
abilities. The voice is fine - buy a modest lapel mic (a small mic that clips 
onto a shirt lapel) and plug it into the recording camera. Attach to collar of 
T shirt and run wire down inside shirt. Your voice will transform and the room 
echo will be gone. Practice and embrace the good things and work on the bad. 
Get someone else to listen and critique - never critique yourself. It's about 
how the rest of the world sees you, not how you sees you :-)

Good luck!

Wow Cotty, this is such great advice, thanks so much, I really appreciate
it!

Haha "clear voice" :D. The hardest part for me is the narration, after 25
years you'd think I'd lose the accent at least a little!

I'll try to keep those suggestions in mind--it's the first time ever I do
any video editing, I've been lucky to work closely with talented editors so
while I can appreciate it I never had to learn how to do it.

The one thing I know, and especially for Youtube, is that the way to learn
and improve is to just do it. It's super interesting to watch the first few
videos of any youtuber whose craft you respect--you often can see how they
got better over time.

Cheers,

Great job mate!

Good audio dub with good choice of music - ability to hear a clear voice 
essential. Watch your text - always a real pain with differing backgrounds. I 
see you had a bash at several ways, simple white text, white with dark outline 
and white with a dark wash strap. I tend to use white with drop shadow. Even 
been known to spray some opacity under the text area in a confused background. 
Key is to keep it consistent. I wouldn't have too much tracking on the text - 
letters brought a bit closer together are easier and quicker to read. 

As you have experienced, once you've seen it through endless times it becomes 
so familiar that the shots start to look too long, and so constant trimming and 
fussing is usual. Some of the still shots were up for such a short time, just 
needed a beat more each. Try and go with a gut reaction on a first viewing of a 
series of shots - if it looks right the first time, it *is* right. The pace and 
info was good and the length perfect for what it is. Great job! But I'd kinda 
expect that with your background ;-)

More please!

Thanks Dan! That’s a good question, and I really don’t know as I haven’t used 
the F28 2.8 at all. I do have the FA28 2.8, and should probably dust it off and 
use it some time...

The video is well done, and quite interesting.  Lots of fine images in it.

for use on digital cameras, how do you think it would compare to my smc 35
mm F 2.8 macro lens?

K30mm 2.8 video review

2021-03-20 Thread Juan Buhler
Hi PDML,

I've been teaching myself how to shoot and edit videos. I'm bad at it!

Anyway I've been making short lens reviews. It's a way to force myself to
use a lens consistently over a few weeks, and in the meantime learn how to
do product shots, and script, narrate and edit a video. It's harder than it
seems and I've gained a lot of respect for people who make it seem easy.

I just posted my third video, first of a Pentax lens. Take a look:
