FOR THE RX100 quick look go to bottom of this post.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I did a few of these a while back. Most people got the idea that this was not a competition but a challenge to get you off your bums and out there shooting and improving. A small minority got uppity that there were no prizes and that I didn’t give feedback on all videos. So in the interests of a quieter life I didn’t do anymore. BUT I have decided to revive the weekend challenge and try to make it bi-monthly. Setting new challenges every two weeks and giving you just the weekend to do it. These are going vary in topics. Some will be more challenging than others, but all WILL make you a better filmmaker as you learn every time you shoot. I stand by this 100%.<\/p>\n

SO, the challenge this weekend is…THE SEQUENCE.<\/p>\n

So simple. So important. So easy to make dull or just plain screw up. The sequence is a\u00a0sequence\u00a0<\/em>of shots that need to be able to be cut together. Once they are, they\u00a0should\u00a0tell a story. An example of a REALLY boring sequence is this.<\/p>\n

INTERIOR DAY:\u00a0<\/strong>Man is sitting alone at a desk. He opens computer, types for around 5 minutes, then closes computer and leaves.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

That was me writing this post if you didn’t get it. Dull, but you can tell a story from it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Below is an example of two simple things that I posted a few weeks back. One was my mum washing the windows, and the other was my dad smoking a cigar. YES they were shot at 240fps so they look cooler, after all everything looks cool at that speed! BUT even at normal speed<\/em> it would still look interesting. Look at the shots I did and how I pieced them together. I am not saying do all your entries like this, but this should give you an idea!
