Thanks. I had a feeling it was as simple as that, but getting even the people at DJI to give me an answer has been impossible. Thanks, - Wolf

Hi, I'm looking into getting g a gimbal for my documentary and off bike motovlogging work. Does any one know if any of the DJI gimbals are compatible with a Canon EOS t7i DSLR camera? I realize it's an entry level camera, but is any cable connection required from a gimbal in order for a camera...

Interesting. Just out of curiosity why do you consider this experimental? It's shot in a very conventional manner (even the hand held work), and with the use of the sound track with lyrics it seems more like an edgy music video. It's not a traditional narrative so are you experimenting with a...

A postcard to those carefree summer days and the final rides of the warm season. Using the footage from my camera field test the Last Days of Summer is just what I love about motovlogging, and getting lost in the ride. Special thanks to Hayden Hu and Alex Orlik for the use of their time lapse...

It's a good pitch. I think it will come down to showing a producer or director how much they'll save by going the stop-motion route vs. CGI in terms of money and time -- pre, production and post over going a 3-D computer pipeline. If you can prove that the stop-motion route is more viable, or if...

If you're after feature work, Laika is probably your best bet. Portland's a beautiful city (both my mother and sister live there) and I have a few former students who work, and love the West coast. There's also commercial work as well. Another former student does a lot of commission and...

Nice reel. Are you looking for clients, or for a studio, like Laika to hire you? If the latter, you might want to include slates to identify your specific job title. For example, animator, or animator for a specific character if there's more than one. Also, if a scene is finished are you saying...

I try to tackle sound design like it's a landscape. I lay down a foundation of ambient sounds or room tunes. Next comes the farthest sounds that are part of the environment. From there I work closer with foley and sound effects, then dialogue. Since I'm building an audio landscape it's always...

if you have Adobe After Effects you can use the Text presets through Bridge. - Wolf

Welcome to the forum. Can you post links to any of your online/Youtube work? - Wolf

I've taught numerous classes to Freshman students where the assignment is to create a video poem. The first thing I do is to state that they are NOT to translate a work of poetry visual, but instead to look at the creative elements of the film medium - motion, light, focus, color, sound -- on...

My latest new film, Ascension. -Wolf https://vimeo.com/215761436

Look into my eyes -- now, walk like a chicken! Sorry, couldn't resist, but thanks, man! - Wolf

I'm happy to report my short film Falling Sky has made it into the final judging rounds of the New Jersey International Film Festival. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. - Wolf

Nicely done. The facial details remind me of Damian Nenow's Paths of Hate. http://www.platigeshorts.com/paths-of-hate.html At 3:06 there's a odd cut to black. In a few instances in the film you cut after what could have been an action sequence. That's fine. Choreographed action is hard to do...

I agree. This is a script set to a slide show. Film is a time based medium with numerous elements for creative expression - movement, light, color, sound, focus, juxtaposition, rhythm, pace, action, emotions, and the ability to convey a story or idea. You are only scratching the surface here...

Double check to see if there's a codec being applied that could set things at a different frame rate. Also, what file format are you creating -- .mov, .MP4, etc. ... ? - Wolf

I had the same question? Are you working under the camera, or in After Effects? If in AE, I'd suggest adding a motion blur to your layers/puppet parts. - Wolf

Just finished my first cut for a Youtube motovlog I do, and recently sent a short film to 7 film festivals. I'm working to get the rights to an instrumental version of a U2 song for another short I finished last year. Keeping my fingers crossed. - Wolf

Well done. I've been trying to get back to running. This was good to watch, and a push for me to get on the road.
