Re: Car animation test

for some reason, I can't watch your videos on brickshelf mini/sad mini/madhead

Re: Car animation test

They're both pretty good, so you should alternate them.

Re: Car animation test

Well, the quality on those clips weren't great, but it's OK. It's hard to choose between the two, they both look good. Maybe do what Hazzat said.

Right...But I'm using a 9k, any suggestions on how to improve it?

Well, it may just be brickshelf. Because I've seen way better quality from a 9K. On the second clip (really close up) put the manual focus to the left, at full. That's the best close up quality it gives you. Try that, if that doesn't work you'll have to see others about this. I use a 9K myself and don't have quality like that.

Re: Car animation test

I liked them both mini/smile. Just a question, did you move the background (i.e buildings trees) or move the car? I think the 2nd one would be the best if the fig was talking whilst driving, but their both good.

Second one.

Re: Car animation test

Cinematography? Second one.
Illusion of motion? First one.

Not sure what exactly you're looking for, so I hope that helps.

Re: Car animation test

Both of them.
Maybe make the first one a little bigger to show more of the car (try not to show the wheels), and then use the next shot for a close up. If you want.:P

Re: Car animation test

The former

Re: Car animation test

The second one feels a bit claustrophobic (a lot because it's lit so lowly). Have you tried using a white sheet of paper to reflect light into the car? That might help the quality and the lighting.

Re: Car animation test

Second one, I'd remove the window on the left of the car though when the camera is there.

Re: Car animation test

They both look good, but the lighting wasn't very good on the second one. Almost like it was night in the car, but day outside the car. mini/confused

Re: Car animation test

they both are pretty awesome nice animation

Re: Car animation test

I prefered the first one over the second one. The second will need better lighting in the car.
