Thanks people. The video caused wahala at Silverbird galleria that day oh.

Hello people. This is an open invitation to all practitioners in the TV and video world to join us as we give ITPAN a new face. We cannot continue to sit back and relax as our TV industry is dying, with corporate sponsors openly showing preference for the poorly produced South American soap operas. Let us join forces and have ONE voice, which gets stronger and louder with newer members, regardless of age, sex or years of experience.
IT CAN ONLY BE POSSIBLE WITH YOU!

This is a video I shot for a friend. He played it on a movie theater screen in front of everyone so it seemed like another movie trailer. I think it was a cheesy move though
I shot on the Panasonic HVX200 bare and a couple of Kinos.
The voice was distorted so she wouldn't know who was speaking.

I need an internationally accepted card and the stories I hear about the Nigerian banks' cards are not encouraging. I am considering opening a Standard Chartered Domiciliary account with a VISA electron card. Is this way better than the other banks' cards?
Standard Chartered is asking for $2000 as minimum opening balance. That's a bit on the high side.

@NWFX, I believe 3ds max has the option of rendering a velocity pass, where you can then select the fast moving objects in your compositing app and blur them selectively but you have to understand motion characteristics so you blur them in the right direction.
My advice anyway is to DO MOTION BLUR IN YOUR 3D APP! It is more realistic.

My personal belief is that anything shot in a studio (especially the typical Naija videos where artistes dance in front of grafitti walls) CANNOT bring out the beauty of the large imaging chip of the RED. Any typical video camcorder would produce good enough images if graded well.
@Afamdman and Expensiv, impress people with nice exteriors with sweet depth of field and selective focus.

You are all invited to the Stage Play "Oluronbi - The Musical"
On the 19th September, 2009
At 2pm and 5pm
Tickets could be gotten at the Silverbird Galleria.

Kemji, your animated project: Does it involve people with measles? Guy reduce the texture map size of your character. We can see all his sweat pores.

I just saw the Jesse Jagz video and it looked great but honestly, you barely put the fantastic chip of the RED ONE to the test. You didnt need it for that video. A normal 3CCD imager with a letus or Red rock would have given you the same results for the locations you chose. That's my point exactly. I still havent seen any locally shot project that justifies the hype Nigerian producers and DOPs are giving the camera.
I know the possibilities of the camera and I havent seen anyone put the camera to the test , yet.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-321063.0.html
Now tell me, why won't companies like Sony continue to create ads like that?

I am a Nigerian and the ad made my day when I saw it IN NIGERIA. Sony was only stating the obvious men. I dont know why Nigerians are taking it so personal but they also generalise and say all Italian rich families are Mafia. THey also generalise and say the only thing Calabar (a state in Nigeria) girls know how to do is f*&k.

The RED ONE camera is too similar to film cameras for people to just jump into handling it.
Enough of my talk. I am waiting for more responses.

The truth about the camera is that I haven't seen any locally produced project with the RED ONE camera that has impressed me. This is not to spite any producer, DOP or director. If you think otherwise, let us cite case studies.
Let me start:
All the recent Mo'Hits videos have been shot with the camera and none of them has Wow! imagery.
What are they doing wrong?

@jidobaba, How does typing on Nairaland just because you have access to the internet at work, help the situation? You are wasting valuable time my friend. Just wake up and smell the roses and find out how rotten they are. I am a Nigerian and will never dispute that but I also have my brain out of my arse.
Let us focus on the issues at hand now. What's happening in the banking industry, for a start, rather than talking gibberish about a non-issue.
Way to go Sony!!!!

Yes!!! Another playground with free access, where people come and talk about what they like. Sony used the metaphorical approach in the ad. The phrase went, "If you believe anything that you read on the internet, I might as well be a rich Nigerian." It means the price of the PS3 slim is ridiculous, so are the kinds of mails that the scammers send. EG:
Good afternoon sir, I'm sorry to intrude on your privacy like this but I have a rich uncle who was the former Minister of Finance in my country and he died a few months back. He has some money (millions of dollars) frozen in some Swiss account and wants you to send some money to facilitate the transfer.

I THINK IT IS A BRILLIANT AD!!!

If they ban importation of Sony products, then I would still buy them and scrape the label off.

And you same Nigerians can generalise and say that the only thing Calabar girls know how to do is to f*&k!!!
OR All Italian rich and large families are Mafia.

Please I need either of these two cameras already in Lagos. THanks. Contact me via my email below or on 08033257442.

Questions:
- What kind of auditorium is it? Lectures, entertainment. THis would determine the kind of content that is shown on the projector screens, either video or powerpoint slides. This would also enable you to determine the kind of projectors you would require.
- Illumination and size of the hall. How many windows are there? Would it be mostly used in the day or night time?
- Positioning of the projectors. This is necessary if the auditorium meant for rent as customers would bring several playback mechanisms from laptops to DVD players and you wouldn't want to clutter the audience space.
- If you are playing video with sound, How would you connect the playback mechanism to the PA system?

The director of the movei (Blomkamp) gerw up in RSA and he has every right to prortray Nigerians the way he feels and I am sure there is a disclaimer for the movie saying characters are fictitious. From an interview with him (the director), he said when he was growing up, there were Nigerians in his neighbourhood that were very similar to the characters in his movie. If you don't like it then produce your own movie and portray South African as whatever you like.

Please I need a construction company preferrably based in Lagos that is competent enough to build a multilevel parking, similar to the one at Mega Plaza, VI.

Thanks.

This is great. Xothermik, very impressive. Where are the Lagos 3d modellers?

@damseremie, Getting this video on stations is no problem with what I am seeing but if you have issues, just email me so we can meet. I will put it on the stations you want at no charge.

@ flagship, I think you should block the names and contacts of your clients. I don't think they would be happy seeing their details on the internet.
Nice designs though.

Very nice cmezue,
You really understand what compositing is. Houdini? You are probably the first person I have (almost) met that uses that software.
Where are you based?

Hi people Check out the Teaser of the new film by Kunle Afolayan:

, and tell us what you think.

@poster, It is not the camera. CONTENT IS KING! A music video properly shot with a camera phone could still win an award, while a poorly shot video on 35mm would still look like crap.
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

clean
