How to make a short movie by Porter Hall

"I used my point-and-click digital camera and software that came with my computer."

How I did it: I made a short video letter for my friend's two-year-old girl.

  • I didn't write a script in advance, I just set up the shot and started the camera and let it roll
  • I blabbered on and on about what I wanted to say to her
  • I copied the files over to my video editing program
  • I played the file and wrote down notes on what I said
  • Reading over the notes, I highlighted what I wanted to use in the video
  • I played the video again and clipped those highlighted parts
  • I arranged the clips into the order I wanted and created a DVD

How I did it: I got my tripod, thought of what to do. and I did it! don't sit around just go out and do it, if your directing you don't need to write a script down, you need to know what you want to see, and then you film YOUR vision. I did it, and you also can...watch it here- logsdonfilms.com Read how I did it…

    a blue wash of color with emerald green 17 months ago

    Color always over stimulated me. It’s just mad wonderful. I’m talking insanity vibrates through my bones when i think when i breathe when i choke on color. oh death by color pains me only a little. i almost died in Costa Rica and Scotland of the sheer reaction to the emerald jewelry of God’s earth.

    Porter Hall is locking in the freshness.

    Next step: Take an editing class 2 years ago

    I have all sorts of video equipment that my wife had for her business and I kind of know how to use it, but I think I will have more energy for this if I take an editing class.
