  9. I accidentally set my town on fire, crashed the Taiwan economy, and surrounded New Mexico with lava walls, while trying to make a video. So, pretty good.

  11. I'll team up with you if you like I don't have a good recording software though. If you know of one or if anyone knows of a good one thats free It would be very helpful :D
    EDIT: I do know how to do recording and some editing though.

  17. Awesome everybody! I'm glad you guys are working together or currently working on it. I thought I would share a few tips that may help you with creating your video:

    • Plan Ahead: If you want people to be in your video, set a certain time and place so they can meet with you. Also, choose what scenes or shots you want to film that day so your time can be used wisely.
    • Check Your Shots: There were many times where I had to refilm a scene because the previous shots were during the daytime and the next would be at night when they were not supposed to be. Make sure to look back at your footage just in case there are mistakes or if it accidentally didn't save so you don't have to film it again.
    • Try Different Angles: For a lot of short films/advertisements , there are different angles that make a video seem more professional and interesting. Make sure if you do try to film different angles that the positions of the people in your scene are the same so the different angles flow nicely.
    • Use Music: Amazingly music can help your video a lot. Just think of a sad movie with the violins, would it still be sad? (it would be more of an awkward silence lol) Try to use music to help people get in the right mood for your video, it grabs people's attention.
    I hope these tips helped you :D
