Hey Tyler great video, I'm very interested in how you did the first tittles with the 3D text ,I'm guessing you used after effects, but how did you learn the best way to create the text or was it just through experimenting. do you know of any good links such as useful tutorial's or articles?
cheers
Hey Adam,
I used the oldest 3D technique in the book: real life. I had the letters cut out of wood.
Haha i don't believe it but thanks anyway ;-) keep the video's coming
Love these vids. Would love to see you do more videos on Canon Prime lenses ie 24mm f1.4L, the 85mm f1.2L and the new 100mm Macro f2.8L IS!
Good Video, one remark > On a compact camera(small sensor) I'd recommend using no more than f5.6 to maximize sharpness (if the purpose is best image quality) - at this sensor size and past this aperture they start to show the effects of diffraction - loss of sharpness.
I haven't heard about that aperture issue before, I'll have to look into it more. Thanks for the heads up though!
You are really Good!
Another Great piece of advise!
Hey Tyler
Thanks for a really informative video! I'm currently on the hunt for a new camera - I will primarily be using it to photograph my paintings in order to sell prints via saatchi online so I'm looking for something which can create high resolution images in order for me to offer the largest prints possible. I'm stuck with a budget of about £500 - I'd be grateful for any camera recommendations.
Thanks!
