      The constantly disorienting shaking is too much me. The problem with shaky cam in most movies. Is that it was criticized for making the action unfollowable.

    • @Sly2Cooper
      @Sly2Cooper 2 роки тому +14

      @@furynotes shaky cam is like a spice to a meal. Experienced DPs only add it at rare moments when the main character feels the most tension inside, like loosing ground, or when chasing someone important.
      At least graphics and story are great. Maybe they can re-render this short.

      ​@@Sly2Cooper The story isn't great. This is what they intended for the camera work. Good graphics argument is debatable. The experienced DP's would make anything close to this. Especially when the Director decided on those shaky shots in the first place. To bad we don't get a good sense of speed in most of the shot's. Animation the characters is leaned to only motion capture work. So its not cleaned up as well as it could have. I think the trailer to short is more exciting then the short it's self. I would rather watch the trailer to short than watch this 10 minute overpraised turd. So its disappointing. Judging from the channel. They seam to be better at commercials for products then actual short films.

      i think the camera shake is for keeping motion blur running, so the pores won't be as visible and facial features will be less distinguishable from a real human to a 3d model

  • @arctic.wizard
    @arctic.wizard 2 роки тому +55

    The shakycam! IT HURTS! I managed 4½ minutes and I'm usually not sensitive to such things. The environs look fine to me, you don't need that shaking camera path to cover up any flaws. Use DOF or motion blur instead if the backgrounds are not up to par, but with good cinematography you don't even have to care because the viewer is supposed to be focused on the important thing in the frame, and the environs only have to look "OK".
    There's a time and place to use shakycam, usually when you want the viewer to feel as if they are close to the subject of the shot, as if walking or running next to them, or if you're doing the whole "found footage" thing. But you even have it shaking when doing an aerial shot (4:24) what kind of drone is wobbling like that when filming? The viewpoint is clearly high up in the air, not from somebody running along the ground.
    It's a darn shame because everything else looks really great.

      I stopped at about 2 min mark and started reading the comments. i went back up at about 4 mins and my golly the shaking got worse. This is not for me no matter how cool the story is. My vision is not like it used to be and the shaky camera really killed it.

  • @NelsonStJames

    People mistakenly believe that a shaky cam simulates real hand held camera work, but the reality is that even an amateur can hold a camera relatively steady. The fact is pretty much everybody has access to a tripod or monopod; you don’t have to be a studio production to have a steady shot.
    Still if this story continues I’m completely down for it; 10 times better and more compelling than most of the schlock coming out of Hollywood these days.

    This is super cool, a little too much camera moves and would have loved longer cuts of the racing. Felt like a Micheal Bay edit at some points. The aircraft design and idea of kinda a "formula One" in the sky/future was fun and unique, once I saw the Red Bull jet I was in! too bad she crashed...

  • @KagatoIuchi

    I agree with the other comments that mention too much cam-shake and quick-cuts, it does make it seem quite jarring and overly chaotic.

    Sci-Fi Racing is one of my favorite things ever, so this was an instant click for me! A pity it's so uncommon in film.
    I do have some gripes tho: the camera shake was a bit much, the races lacked a sense of speed, and the animation seemed a bit Mocap only.
    Overall an okay experience. The VA/VD and music were cool tho.
