TomCrib Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hey all,This is a tricky one, I made this video of a hovercraft for a company extremesports.ie, some people really like it but some people think its too generic! I would like to work on my style and make it more my video style rather than generic action sports videos! Any tips? Im filming a big project in a month or two with Cliff Jumping, Massive Bungee Jumps and more action sports. Great to hear your thoughts Also if you can watch in 4k!

peterwhite Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 This video is in full color and high quality, impressive. But like you said the size is too large, maybe you can consider downsize the video quality a little bit for a smaller video size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzynormal Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 When in doubt, tell a story. Always tell a story. Visual montage is common. Good storytelling is not. Do you know the story behind this subject? Can you find one and make it interesting? Hard to do, right? That's why to do so would be special.Also, many many action videos are wide angle. Almost al of them. It would be a challenge to create one with a longer focal length. Say, a 50mm s35 equivalent. At the very least it would look different, and that's not "generic."

HelsinkiZim Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Devinsupertramp, are you?this is by far the best place to start getting inspired, for you. But don't copy; imitate and innovate. Look forward to seeing more work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Also, many many action videos are wide angle. Almost al of them. It would be a challenge to create one with a longer focal length. Say, a 50mm s35 equivalent. At the very least it would look different, and that's not "generic."This is the age of action cams like the GoPros. People subconsciously realize what the distortion does to movements, centering the view and sucking vanishing lines down the drain. Boring. The very opposite, a very long shot with foreground and background compressed, is still something special (see "Bayhem"). The very best is the intercutting of different perspectives and framing.
