Mardi-Gras parade




Set dressers arrange objects on a film set before shooting. They work under the direction of a leadman, a set decorator and a production designer. Set dressers place furniture, hang pictures, and put out decorative items. They are also responsible for some light construction and assembly of small items, such as air-conditioning ducts. They also move items as necessary to make room for the filming equipment. During the shoot, the prop department works with an on-set dresser to ensure that the props and furnishing are in the proper location for the script and to maintain continuity, as scenes are often shot out of order.

Streetview: Tree surgery




Real digital image stabilization is used in some video cameras. This technique shifts the electronic image from frame to frame of video, enough to counteract the motion. It uses pixels outside the border of the visible frame to provide a buffer for the motion. This technique reduces distracting vibrations from videos or improves still image quality by allowing one to increase the exposure time without blurring the image. This technique does not affect the noise level of the image, except in the extreme borders when the image is extrapolated.

BTW
stabilization of this film was done by iMovie 09

Flood 1953


Dutch Disaster As nine-year old kid I use to live in the Netherlands on the edge of the flooded area , where I witnessed consequences of this terrible 1953 event. On the internet there are many images and films on this subject of which I used a few to edit this short impression. This found footage is enriched with some colored stills giving expression to the fear and misery of the victims involved. In the second part when Beethovens tune changes to "All people become friends" pictures of rescue operations and refugees are shown. These images I shall remember until today. In this way I have tried to make a somewhat more emotional visual reminder which fits into my (filmed) biography.

Cutting A wide shot and a medium close up can be cut together, allowing you to edit parts out and change the order of shots without obvious jump cuts. Cut on Similar Elements You can do the same thing in your videos with cutting from a flower on a wedding cake to the grooms boutenier, or tilt up to the blue sky from one scene and then down from the sky to a different scene.
