9/19 Lecture Notes: Shooting with Your Team

9/19 Lecture Notes: Shooting with Your Team


Welcome back! Remember that we are starting class at the Cage, where you will find out who the 5 teams are and get the opportunity to join a team. Each team should have at least three members who are spread across 6 rigs. A couple teams will need to have 4 members.

After your team's producer checks out a rig, take it back to 206F for help setting it up. Or if you prefer, your team can go elsewhere for setup. Remember that you should not sync the GoPros next to other teams so at some point you will need to go out somewhere else with your team.

Please plan to return to 206B by 4:45 p.m. I will go over how to prepare and upload 360s to YouTube so that they work in Google Cardboard, and also distribute some information I picked up at the ONA conference this week in Denver.

Wednesday's class is primarily a lab where you will hopefully begin stitching some video together with your team, since we have the classrooms reserved that have AutoPano on them. You can also use that time to shoot if the time and lighting works, but please let me know in advance if your team will be out shooting then and what specifically you will be shooting.

Assignment 3 is due next Monday before class, so start planning now how to get together with your team and shoot something together. You will have the opportunity to make the video better next week using advanced stitching techniques, and get more scenes that you pull together in Premiere. Assignment 4 will be to improve the video with your team.

One final note: If you discover during shooting that your original idea just won't work, the producer should drop by an email stating this and what the topic of the new video will be.
