Stereo 3D Video Production with GoPro

Jeff Foster | 01/29- 02:15 AM

Using the GoPro HD Hero2 and the 3D Hero System with CineForm Software

Whether you love it or hate it, 3D Stereography is here for awhile. And if you’re totally into it like I am, you quickly realize that there are few turnkey workflows out there to capture and process 3D Stereo video that’s easy to setup, shoot and edit Stereo pairs. Sure, there are a lot of high-end (expensive to rent) systems for two cameras to shoot, software to sync/mux the footage and rigs you can build to edit it, but GoPro has brought it together with a fun and easy-to-use system that anyone can use.

Basic Lighting Setups for Green Screen

Jeff Foster | 01/23- 11:05 PM

from the “Green Screen Workshop: The Setup” series

Indoors or outdoors? Full-length with walk-ons or just a talking head? Will your actors be making contact with the screen? These are all questions covered in this video lesson from my Green Screen Workshop series - this is a FREE video lesson, so enjoy!

Jeff Foster | 01/22- 02:09 PM

By Barry Andersson and Janie L. Geyen

There’s little more popular these days than being a budding Indie filmmaker slinging a 5D MkII over your shoulder and firing off hours of footage that you can then spend months editing to make your masterpiece come alive! The biggest problem is that MOST folks entering this endeavor are totally clueless about the process or where to even start - thus making every mistake in the book in the process.
