Tim, thanks! I’ll have to look into mochaAE.

Mark, thanks for putting in the time to review the videos. I really appreciate the advice!
The videos are live and paid for, but I may try some of your changes for my own portfolio version. I agree on the lighting, still working on figuring that out, I probably need more powerful lights than what I brought. Probably should have used less of the shoulder rig as well. What tripod would you recommend? I have a Slik photo tripod but it’s pretty jumpy for any kind of panning movement it’s really just a “stills” tripod. Thanks again for the advice! I’m hoping more projects like this will come along so I can keep improving, it was nice to get away from print into a new media.

Thanks Nathan! I worried about how best to capture the screen. It ended up being slightly out of focus as well at a few points. I wish I knew After Effects! I’ve seen people take a screen recording of the app and replace it via green screen over the iphone…. definitely out of my skill level! The other thing I struggled with for these was my camera (Canon 7D), seemed like there was a lot of graininess in some of the shots and I couldn’t really bump up the brightness without it getting worse. I had the ISO at 320 I think.

Thank you! Definitely trying to broaden my skill set. It was a totally different experience working with people in this situation. I had come up with a storyboard and done a lot of planning beforehand, but I was sweating bullets the day of the shoot. The clients who hired me modeled in the video, neither one was experienced so they were looking to me for direction (I was about equally as experienced in this situation!). This was the first time I had used some of the video equipment (follow focus, ext. monitor, shoulder rig). Talk about pressure! But it was fun, and I’m hoping to do more videos like this in the future.
