My question is what is the best way to film a model where it appears to be flying in a speratic way, like in space? I have a track already but do not know what would be the best way to mount the camera to take steady shots. Thanks. |

Uh...sorry. I can't find the definition of the word "speratic" anywhere. When you film against a bluescreen, you have the ability to do some creative motion control. Since the background is going to be something entirely different anyway, you can move the camera around the object and give the illusion that the object is moving, rather than the camera. Know what I mean? I still don't quite understand your question, though..Isaiah ------------------

I sort of figured that's what he meant, but I wanted to give him the chance to correct himself.  Isaiah ------------------

What I was trying to say was how do I film the model flying in space flipping and turning without the model moving, having the camera do all the motion. I have a track where I can zoom in and out but how do I mount the camera underneath it to get a side to side shot, leaving the model in the same position?PS. I didn't know we are being graded on spelling.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. It's pretty interesting what you can do without moving the model. (I'm fairly certain) that that kind of effect is known as motion-control...or at least is related. Personally I would try to set up a medium-large bluescreen stage with even lighting, and then manually move the camera around - no tripod or track or anything. It should yield some interesting results. Don't be afraid to experiment.Isaiah ------------------

Experiment as much as you like Brianbk16 but keep in mind that when you remove the bluescreen with a space background you have to track the camera motion so the background moves the same way.------------------

While Benny is correct, thankfully, you don't need to be quite as precise in an outer space scene when typically, pretty much the entire background is just a bunch of stars. But still, do your best to make it looks believable.Isaiah ------------------

no-- move the bacground in the opposite way, therefore it will make the model appear to be movin Even Faster...
What every you do, don't do it like the Origional Star Trek!! HaHA I saw the Cage the other day, and it made me laugh! |

How would I move the backround? Keeping in mind that I'm on a fixed income and cannot afford expensive software. |

Get a big black piece of paper..I mean BIG, poke a bunch of small, but visible holes in it. Attach an equally large piece of white paper behind it, and shine a bright light (maybe a few lights) behind it. Voila - you have a starfield. Videotape it as you see fit.Isaiah ------------------
