hey guys im wondering how they do those effects were they add things to make a shot look like documentary style.
usually theres the words REC or a timer running like in cloverfield. How can i do that?
Or you can use another camera to film the LCD of the first camera.
Sorry for the bad joke.
It's a pretty simple thing to do in post (if you've got decent software).
Actually I think this effect is probably a pre-set on some pretty crappy software. Not advising you to cut your film using the aforementioned 'crappy software' but if you want an easy way of getting the effect you could always add it on that and then use the altered footage...
what cracks me up when I see footage like that is, I have no idea if there is ANY camera that RECORDS the RECORDING indicator.. cheap or otherwise.... i mean that would be a pretty big flaw in design... which sorta begs, whey do we accept this so readily ("we" being the collective?)
