How to Act Like Thor :: What we learned

 

Learning a lot through this video making process and above is the final product. Here's what we learned:

• Time - you don't have enough so plan, plan, plan!
• Preparedness - you don't have enough time so prepare, prepare, prepare!
• Money - non-essential! Borrow stuff and shoot in your friends' basement!
• Editing - is fun! But hard work! Here's where I picked up a bunch of my tips for audio, color correction, and work-flow: http://opensource.com/life/11/11/introduction-kdenlive
• Teamwork - get people to do this with you! I'm not the best writer, actor, artist, camera person. Recruit your friends and family to help out.

Here's the last thing about what I learned specifically: set the bar high. You don't have to spend tons of money or be a professional but when you have an idea expect a great product. What I found with this video was I had a high expectation, after shooting it was MUCH lower (I didn't get all the shots I wanted). However, after some tweaking and some compromise I got a sort-of different video near the quality of my original expectation. Hard work really pays off! I appreciate my Llama Create! team!
