    I'm having a crappy time setting up my camera angle. I can't seem to find a good balance between being zoomed in far enough and giving myself enough spinning room so I don't slip out of view. Anybody have tips? [video=youtube;Eez79nqa--I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eez79nqa--I[/video] Any tips you have involving lighting or anything else is also welcome. Thanks everybody!

    generally there are 2 common angles.. front looking down and behind you over the shoulder looking down.. i might do a tutorial on my angle.. eriror already has a video of his angle up on youtube if you didnt take a look at that already: [video=youtube;sabOWZ40YZc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sabOWZ40YZc[/video] that post was for the sake of those people that didnt want to download that video that eriror posted in v3

    not really a "new angle" per se.. there is controversy over whether or not bonkura filmed his one 2p2h isonic combo facing up or not.. i cant find the video at the moment.. but imo (and most peoples too) facing straight up is not the way to go.. no offense..

    Nice job. I think your angle is fine as it is. For my i'm trying to make my angle more vertical and zoomed in more. I'm working on it. I use an ipod nano for filming and there isn't an actually stand of anything it can go in for holding, so i use toilet paper rolls since it fits the ipod perfectly. T.Then i just tape the toilet roll to any where i want. I found a way to easier copy other peoples angles yesterday. You figure out how close the camera is to the hand by measuring how many times the spinners hand fits across the screen or from top to bottom. For the angle you can look at where the persons arm is coming in from (right side, left side, top, bottom, corner etc...) and if the edge of a desk or something can be seen you can look at the angle the edge of the desk is on the screen. If it is almost parallel with the sides of the screen of maybe on a diagonal slant in the bottom right hand corner or the top right corner. So that's how i am try to imitate some angles i like from spinners. Hope that helps.

    Requested by exclusive. Semi-pointless vid showing the setup I use/ light I use: http://rapidshare.com/files/408724560/Iota_s_Angle___Setup_Tut.mpg Stats: Camera tilt is 9 degrees away from being vertical. Camera height is ~23 inches. Distance it is placed away from spinning area is prolly just an inch, maybe 2. idk what else to say stat wise, just screenshot it on my youtube, or pause the vid and try and make the screen look identical to yours with the help of the data i gave. And yes, it is similar to Baaron's angle (or at least supposed to be XD) only for lefty, cept a little more vertical, since it's a blend of his and the Littleboy style of angle sorta. Hope this helped.

    Just wanted to share how I record with a digital camera without a tripod. (Apologies for the bad blur-ish shots I was lazy to retake the photos.) I took a regular box like this:

    Spoiler Any box that has a lid like this and roughly of the same size would do
    and cut a small piece off the lid area. I use that to rest the camera there as I record like this:
    Spoiler That isn't the camera I use to film by the way
    The box is on the table and the lid is above the box
    Spoiler
    I can achieve 2 possible similar angles with this. Angle one:
    Spoiler[video=youtube;WPPSus3k9os]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPPSus3k9os[/video] How? by resting the covering of the box like this:
    Angle 2:
    Spoiler[video=youtube;_QNYG01Qoa0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QNYG01Qoa0[/video] I prefer this angle How? By taking random books and things around your table, placing them on the box and resting the covering like this:
    That's how I can get a good angle without wasting money on a tripod. Plus it's safe for your camera as well. Hope this helps!

    Well, I finally got a camera, or rather, I finally got my old camera to work. How would I set up my camera, so I get the full effect of my spinning and presentation? Fujifilm 4 MP, 10x Zoom very old camera.

    Date: Sun, Apr 10 2011 22:51:21

    Perhaps you have a stand lying around, it would be ideal for putting up a webcam or camera. Tripods and stuff like that works too.

  31. FusionX
    Date: Sun, Apr 10 2011 22:54:43

    If you don't have a tripod, you could get creative on how to set up your camera for the angles you would like, perhaps setting the back half of your camera onto a leveled object for the camera to tilt, etc.

    I have a tripod. So I'll try to figure it out. So how about editing software?

  33. Paladin
    Date: Mon, Apr 11 2011 00:35:30

    WMM would work fine for this. after all, pretty much all your doing is putting on music, right? If you want something more advanced you could try your hand at sony vegas, but it's a lot more complicated.

  34. iBlameLag
    Date: Mon, Apr 11 2011 01:26:48

    Well, the editing software that comes with the computer (iMovie or Windows Movie Maker, depends on Mac or PC) should be fine for simple things like cutting and adding captions. If you want something better, like making fancy intros and stuff like that, I recommend using Adobe After Effects CS3 (If you're hesitant, just download the 30 day trial) and listening to Andrew Kramer's tutorials. That guy KNOWS ****.

  38. Kiyo
    Date: Thu, Apr 28 2011 15:41:22

    I would deeply recommend Adobe After Effects for fancy intros and stuff. I'm editing with Sony Vegas which in fact is another Pro-Program for editing and stuff. I sometimes use several templates and change them a little like Sig (FPSB) does in his edited videos. This looks amazing an you definitely don't have to get used to AAE first. It's easier to work with sony vegas and it even costs a lot less than AAE (if you want to buy it legally^^)

    If you really dont wanna spend money on a tripod for angle 1, u need to stick ur camera on top of the monitor.. its much more easier to get ideal angle with webcam (as usually those come with a stand) angle 2 is pretty impossible.. angle 3 is possible if u tie ur camera to a table study lamp (the ones that can set angles.. not the old-school stand alone ones) tie on it with a rubberband.. then tilt the lamp to set the angle.. dont use lamp as tripod while its turned on or it will fry ur camera PrinceXD

    Maybe just ask Iota. Junk from me. Angle -good tape -hard,long,light,durable things (wood rulers) -weight to counter act camera weight Lighting -aim-able lamp -paper -tape -blinds -one light source -soft shadow Settings -use zoom if needed, remember it'll make quality worse -??? -._-. Background -not distracting pretty much -nothing stands out -less stuff the better -bland -doesn't create much contrast with colour -darker helps this -this is the end of my rant full of nothing -stop reading now... -._-.

    Just a general thing I found useful. You can use a foldable music stand as a makeshift tripod. I usually use that to get overhead angles since you can set the camera at an angle in between the crossbar and lip of the stand.

    ive had this problem alot. finding the best angle. it really does depend on your style. some people like over the shoulder, others prefer to the left or right side opposite of their spinning hand. some like it in front. ha it all just kinda depends on your style and preference. i could try to help u find a good angle for you if i could see some of your spinning.

    Hi guys :D [video=youtube;rz-zPu7k-5s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz-zPu7k-5s [/video] Does this angle suits me ? Is there another angle that might be better?

    If you can get it nearer to your left shoulder, imo it would suit your spinning more. Like a right sided Miyana angle or something

    I think you just need to zoom in a little bit.

    Date: Wed, Jan 11 2012 16:44:53

    @Xienix How about moving it a little higher, and maybe turning it a bit so it doesn't look like your camera is direct on with your hand. Give it some sort of angle instead of even with your hand. Hope that makes sense. XD

    @HobbyLogics 1st angle... sucks for 1P1H. If you do some 2P2H or 1P2H stuff later in your spinning it would be a nicee angle. 2nd angle is my favourite. The camera is pretty high up, gives a nice view. But I think you should try to centre your spinning more. 3rd angle feels "weaker" compared to 2nd angle. A 4 day late reply :)

    @Hob I like your third angle actually. I will never like to watch spinning from the first one, no matter the spinner.

    @DoubleBlackDB i thought that angle 3 and angle 1 were the best angles. i felt it got the most of the spinning. just my thoughts tho.

  107. Kari
    Date: Thu, Apr 5 2012 06:26:48

    @DoubleBlackDB angle 1 in my opinion is the best but being a right handed spinner you should move the camera to the other side so the camera can see your palm more than the back of your hand. :p

  108. Jo
    Date: Thu, Apr 5 2012 13:01:37

    @Kari oh but i dont have a 'table stand' in that particular angle.. so i cant set up an angle there.. if i set up an angle facing my palm i must stack books on the floor and make them tall .. but that looks quite uncomfortable.. what u think? :P

  109. Kari
    Date: Thu, Apr 5 2012 19:07:11

    @DoubleBlackDB I don't stack things from the floor but I stack things from the very edge of my desk. How about just try it and show me so I can see what it would look like. And show me your desk so maybe I can get an idea from there. :)

    i actually prefer this angle. it shows the palm of your hand and i think it will work quite nicely. plus the black table is really nice considering your mod is red, white, and blue. also stuff doesnt seem so cluttered. lol

  113. Kari

    @DoubleBlackDB Much better. Now just work on your spinning. :p

    Maybe that depend your cam, i think you should change the background, your mod should have more black ring lol. My two backgrounds : [video=youtube;Jd2y_K0947E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd2y_K0947E[/video] and [video=youtube;MLM2oAPv_II]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLM2oAPv_II[/video] 1 cam two background,too different...

    Mount it on a high area? Maybe a shelf, lamp, or stacks books, boxes, put a chair on your desk and mount your cam there.

    Directly in front is usually bad. I would go with at an angle in front of you or a top down view
