Ok, I`m on it right now!
The rc camera should have been ready but I had to concentrate on the bot in the end.
I`ve bent the aerial on the tx so it can lay flat on the desk and taken the springs out of the gimbal as we found tracking the cam with the stick gets very tireing after only a minute.
The cam pans and tilts, still have to put in zoom and start/ stop.
Zooming is a Must! You gotta have the tight shots to get the feeling of being right in the action! Any decent vid needs at least three cams, the wide shot and one to focus on each bot. The only problem with the cam at the back and then cams at the front is that the view is "crossing the line", ie, the subjects appear to swap sides from left to right; a big "No No" in the cinematography world.
Lots of cuts also increases the excitement, the more the action speeds up, so does the frequency of the cuts and the tighter the frame.
I`m not knocking Nicks work at all, It`s great and considering how fast he gets them together and I`m sure we wouldn`t even try to make every fight a mini movie masterpiece but just coming up with ideas to improve our videos over time, as with all aspects of our little sport!
Cheers!
