10 Tips for Better Camp Videos Video Tools by Taco Hornbaker 10 TIPS FOR BETTER CAMP VIDEOS Video packs multisensory power. It moves emotions and captures attention even in a media-saturated world. Video is the original viral, and it continues to draw extremely high rates of digital engagement and shareability.

  • Slow Motion Video
    Slow Motion Video MediaTek Technology White Paper May 2015 Slow Motion Video Introducing Slow Motion Video MediaTek’s Slow Motion Video technology allows the device user to easily capture, replay, and share a fast moving object any time. Slow Motion Video can record video at a high frame rate such as 120fps, 180fps or higher, playback in slower speed such as 1/2x,1/4x, and 1/16x. And, the user can easily share this slow motion video. High frame rate recording allow users to capture more details and wonderful moments for a fast moving object. Compared with normal camera recording, which only can capture 24fps – 30fps, high frame-rate recording can capture as much as 120,180fps, which allows for more fluent recording. Mediatek provides a whole solution for high frame-rate recording, so that business partners can easily combine their high frame rate camera sensors with Mediatek ICs to provide many new wonderful features. Now VGA@120fps for MT6752, HD@180fps for MT6595 and MT6795 are supported, and higher, such as HD@240fps, will be available on later MediaTek octa-core ICs. Slow Motion Video playback allows user to slow down the playback speed so as to enjoy a fully playback experience. Playing the high frame rate recorded video will bring much more fluent watching experience. But as we all know, the human video processing capability is limited, so humans cannot capture details of a fast moving object if replayed in 1x speed. By using the slow motion playback, the user can not only distinguish each amazing moment but also can enjoy interesting viewing experience.

  • Cinematography
    CINEMATOGRAPHY ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS • The filmmaker controls the cinematographic qualities of the shot – not only what is filmed but also how it is filmed • Cinematographic qualities involve three factors: 1. the photographic aspects of the shot 2. the framing of the shot 3. the duration of the shot In other words, cinematography is affected by choices in: 1. Photographic aspects of the shot 2. Framing 3. Duration of the shot 1. Photographic image • The study of the photographic image includes: A. Range of tonalities B. Speed of motion C. Perspective 1.A: Tonalities of the photographic image The range of tonalities include: I. Contrast – black & white; color It can be controlled with lighting, filters, film stock, laboratory processing, postproduction II. Exposure – how much light passes through the camera lens Image too dark, underexposed; or too bright, overexposed Exposure can be controlled with filters 1.A. Tonality - cont Tonality can be changed after filming: Tinting – dipping developed film in dye Dark areas remain black & gray; light areas pick up color Toning - dipping during developing of positive print Dark areas colored light area; white/faintly colored 1.A. Tonality - cont • Photochemically – based filmmaking can have the tonality fixed. Done by color timer or grader in the laboratory • Digital grading used today.

Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".[6] However, differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.[2] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the Coarse bokeh on a photo shot with an 85 mm lens and 70 mm entrance pupil diameter, which depth of field.

  • Examining How Students Make Sense of Slow-Motion Video
    Examining How Students Make Sense of Slow-Motion Video Min Yuan, Nam Ju Kim, Joel Drake, Scott Smith and Victor R. Lee Utah State University, Logan, Utah [email protected], {namju1001, jrichdrake}@gmail.com, {scott.smith1, victor.lee}@usu.edu Abstract: Slow-motion video is starting to appear in science classrooms as a source of data for students to examine. However, seeing important features in such video requires a particular kind of student engagement and supported acts of noticing. This poster reports on an exploratory study of what students noticed and talked about when viewing slow-motion video during a classroom design experiment focused on bodily activity as it relates to motion and animation. Introduction Slow-motion video (SMV) is an important way for scientists to analyze physical phenomena (e.g., Mazur, Krehbiel, & Shao, 1995). SMV is created when cameras capture motion at high framerates (>120 frames per second); when this video is played back at a standard rate (~30 fps), the motion is slowed. As prices drop for camera equipment necessary to generate high quality SMV, such video is being integrated into school science curricula (e.g., Heck & Uylings, 2010). With SMV capture capabilities being built into smartphones and other mobile devices (e.g., point-of-view cameras), we expect more classrooms will turn to SMV as a source of data for students to use during classroom inquiry experiences. These SMV capture devices can facilitate students’ noticing and observing of complex phenomena that are otherwise invisible, such as the frequency of oscillation in the intensity of a light bulb and the detailed body movements when throwing a baseball.

    GENERAL SLOW MOTION ABOUT THIS CHALLENGE In this challenge, students will explore the math OK Go used to create parts of the video “The One Moment.” They will learn about frame rates and how they connect to math concepts. Students will have the opportunity to review rates of change, multi- digit division, and fraction multiplication through practice equations. Then, they will be able to apply their knowledge of these concepts to create a slow-motion music video! CONTENT AREA Grade Levels: 5-6 Content Area: Mathematics: Pre-Algebra, Algebra Context for Learning: Before starting this challenge, students must be somewhat familiar with multiplication, fractions, multiplication of fractions, long division, graphing, and using equations to make calculations.

    What’s new (v3.4)? More formats Ardour, Tracktion & CMX 3600, 3400, 340 EDL & other CMX’like files (eg Grass Valley 4 &7 & Cudos) You can now specify a Reaper RPP as a session ‘template’ to be used when converting to Reaper format. Samplitude EDL, you can now choose to offset all clips by the Offset amount in the source session. Extracted OMF info, media files & session data can be written back to the OMF source folder. Much more detail is extracted from PT5 sessions, eg BPM, Beat markers, lists of Fx & plug-in’s used; now listed in for example the Reaper notes section. Recombine split stereo (.L&.R) files from for example, ProTools, to a sub folder called ‘Stereo’. Pro Tools import & Export has been enhanced considerably. Eg mute envelopes now fully supported. (both read & write) You no longer need to “unhide” hidden PT5 files originated on a Mac, AATranslator can now “see” any pt5 files whether hidden or not. PT5 export, can use either Clip or track/timeline based automation envelopes from all of the far more capable source formats, that include both of these types of automation.. There is now a Mac OSX export function for PT5 sessions. The notes have been substantially re-written, much clearer & even more vital to read. Note if Pro Tools (now known as, Avid Audio) is important to you, do read the notes. PT does have very specific requirements that are far more strict than any other DAW. PT can work really well, but it’s a very picky DAW, so make sure you deliver what it requires, this is very very important.
