Re: I need help making a night sequence in a town- NOW WITH A 30 SEC CLIP!

I liked that lighting. Number four, and seven. My favorite is Night time with no adjustments.

Re: I need help making a night sequence in a town- NOW WITH A 30 SEC CLIP!

Ok, I've just released a new (and last) clip from The Sniper. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs3mPxE7lHs

It's a small clip of the opening scene. Tell me if the darkness is too little, too much, or just right. Please note that YouTube did make it darker than the original.

LOVE IT! amazing. the set is fantastic. i love how you could hear the gun in the distance. They panning shot was great- especially when the care drove over it... i think.

Re: I need help making a night sequence in a town- NOW WITH A 30 SEC CLIP!

The beginning is great, but at 0:17 the lighting is a bit strange (direct light on the background). The last shot (with the man firing the gatling/machinegun/...)is nice, but compared to the other shots, it's too dark (youtube's fault maybe).
All in all, this is really good, and I loved the panning shot. mini/smile

Re: I need help making a night sequence in a town- NOW WITH A 30 SEC CLIP!

I'm planning on redoing the panning shot. The narration is slow, and the shot was way too fast. I need to stretch it out to 20 seconds at least. I'll also increase the brightness of the machine-gun man as well.
As for 0:17, that was an accident, however it helps with the story because it says "as of the approaching dawn." Glad you all liked it! I'll be increasing the brightness ever so slightly because of YouTube, but I'll keep the rest like this if you all like it. mini/smile

I think it's actually perfect. I hope Le Mime will be like that, because that was really awesome. (As I said on YT)

Loved it. I could tell what was going on and it did appear as though it is a night-time sequence. Nice one. mini/wink

Re: I need help making a night sequence in a town- NOW WITH A 30 SEC CLIP!

i like the 4th but it needs some lights i never seen a town with out there lights on, just try puttinf a flashlight somewhere in the buildings or just use a effect.

Re: I need help making a night sequence in a town- NOW WITH A 30 SEC CLIP!

True, I was going to photoshop in some lights, however, in the story it's completely darm "but for the dim light of the moon that shown through fleecy clouds." I was going to take out the lamps entirely, be I had already shot a few scenes.

Re: I need help making a night sequence in a town- NOW WITH A 30 SEC CLIP!

what may be intentional but looks somewhat strange is that all the windows are dark. Some indirect lighting would be effective I think.

The thing is, its during a civil war. You don't want to turn on your lights in the middle of the night, because anyone of the other political side will shoot you. The street lamps are dark because it said in the story everything was dark. I actually should have removed them completely, but forgot to. Lets say they were shot broken.

I like #4... Maybe a little more blue light if you can get your hand on some blue light producing mechanism... haha. Either way, definitely #4, just needs a little more blue light, that way it gives it more of a moon light lit set.

Re: I need help making a night sequence in a town- NOW WITH A 30 SEC CLIP!

Such a cool big town-set - and lo lights in the windows?
Is there no one at home? Is the energy down?
