AE5.5 PRO & Final Effects Complete. Ayato’s tutorials are very advanced. Because English is his second language you really need to know After Effects moderately well to follow all the steps. Some additional plug-ins are needed, but most are available in demonstration form.

Topic: Lighting
The nice thing about lighting a “talking head” with a reflector (and sometimes a light bouncing into the reflector) instead of a third light is that you are able to get an adequate amount of fill light without interdicting unwanted additional shadows on the face and highlights in the subjects eyes.† This produces a very flattering head shot with fill light that looks very natural.

Topic: Quality
A question that comes up repeatedly pertains to titles causing color shift and artifacts in DV.† There are three basic causes for these problems: 1. Overly sharp high contrast edges 2. Illegal colors 3. A poor codec. Also see “Great Titles with the DV Codec” by Philip Hodgetts.

Topic: Fluid Simulation
In this article, Mark Simpson demonstrates how to use the BhodiNUT ‘Proximal’ shader in the displacement channel of a standard material to simulate the ripples created when an object is dropped into a body of water. This project requires Cinema 4D XL V7 or later (no external plug-ins are required).

Back when I used to shoot really low budget jobs with a Canon A1 Hi8 camera I had experimented with “Interval Recording” as it’s called in video. Years before, in film, I’d done time lapse with various single frame cameras and intervalometers but never with my Sony PD150 DVCam. I didn’t even know if it had the capability. It does. Time lapse photography remains one area where film has an indisputable advantage over video – the mechanics of advancing the film. You can shoot film one frame at a time but you can not do that with a video camera.
