Tang just needs to use a better light source. Everything is lit & photographs in that yellowy color.

Tang, just use a warm light source; not florescent as that will make things look green. And pure, indirect outdoor light will make things look more blue.

I like the vid concept, tho. It's different.

To be honest he just needs to set his white balance to the correct preset for which ever light source he's shooting in, or just do it manually. It's pretty pointless otherwise.

Here is my attempt at how a poster video should be done

I'm not a big fan of Tang's video, as (IMO) they have kind of a creepy vibe. I'm not sure how to explain it, I really just don't get recording video of something like that, combined with no talking, shaky camera, etc., but to each his own.

Steve, you sure are a smart-arse.

I am a fan of the tang,
Keep me coming mr lung.
Rest of you are jealous
I know at least another member who also likes them,
But he is shy.

Sorry fella -still switched off.

If one should do a video of an image at all, it should just be a series of edited together still shots.

It was (that which I saw of it) still all too meandering and pointless. The eye is impatient to get on to the next part of the image, or story, and in the end I couldn't hang around.

See what you can do when you set the camera up properly!

Joking aside, if you want to improve the quality of what you are doing check out pages 60-61 of the manual. It explains the white balance settings of your camera, the presets and setting it manually. It's really easy and should make a huge improvement.

And then;

Page 67 has a section on tripods
Page 71 has a section on sound
Page 74 has a section on editing

I'll shut up now.

I just think if he's bothered to do this and put it on Youtube, why not spend a minute setting things up properly. Just some friendly advice really, unless he's going for that 'found footage' vibe' that's seems to be all the rage these days.

I'm a sitting next to a good friend of mine and she says she is in love with tangs videos AND tang.

I know what you mean Neo re the creepy vibe. I think fixing the colour balance, avoiding the self shadow/reflection, and continuous close ups would help.

But Tang is having fun, so that is the most important thing

Tang Lung rocks.

And one has to love his accompanying, related music for each vid.

Way to go, Tang!

Yeah , I know you're mocking me , whatever

I let the items speak for themselves , I will try to adjust the camera but no promises.

erik1925 · « **Reply #1294 on:** October 14, 2013, 12:32:48 AM »

NO mocking here... I'm being sincere... I like yur vids, Tang.

Ari · « **Reply #1295 on:** October 14, 2013, 01:48:19 AM »

Likewise, no mocking from me either.

Cool vid and GREAT looking poster, Tang. Is that the 39x55 (2F) size?

And looks to be a really good linen backing job, too (as have your others).
