Lights, Camera, Action

So far in this blog we have discussed a lot about hardware and thrill of procurement. We also touched on making movies that don’t suck and the various directions our video movies can take such as documentary, chronological reenactment or just a good old story.

One aspect of any photo or video is always ‘where is the sun?’ This unbreakable fact of videography raised its ugly head the other day while I was shooting some deer in the hills behind my house. The grass was green. There were more deer than normal. And, it was a hazy winter day when the sun is in its lowest phase on the southern horizon.

Even a GoPro Hero4 Black could not overcome the problem. As you can see from the two frames from the video, pointing the camera directly into the sun does not work. Always remember the SUN!
