How to VIDEO me playing piano? (NOT record)
on: May 01, 2015, 03:49:30 AM
Hi guys! So this might sound like a weird question.... yeah I'm kind of a noob when it comes to video/cinematography stuff. But I've got a prelude all worked out and perfect, a great piano, a pair of nice mics and all that is worked out. I want to record myself playing the prelude and video/record myself doing it. I know how to put the mic audio track with the video, I'm just wondering, does anyone have any tips for camera position?!? I have 2 cameras. I literally spent a half hour with some music stands and cameras, but every time it either looked stupid, or you couldn't see me actually playing. Could someone quickly tell me where to place the 2 cameras to where I can switch the video between them and make it look nice? Thank you for answering my stupid question ;)
You might have seen one of my videos without knowing it was that nut from the forum
