February Post of Trainings

Christian Film Production Tips:

Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend? I am so sorry this have to come this late. I was busy throughout the weekend. I just returned home today from a location where I went to act in a movie. So I had to rest a little bit. I know I created a problem for those who have the Holiness of God in their heart last week when I talked about pirated software usage on our projects. Please I need you to really share today's post. I want us to cause a revival against piracy which suppose to start from us, because we need to lead by example, not to proof that we are perfect but we can try our best while God help with the rest.

I will like to quickly answer a question someone asked me about lighting a white and black cast on the set. The black guy needs more light and white guy does not need that much. I mentioned some materials you need for lighting like duvetyne and reflector and diffuser, you can use this to cut down the lighting on the white guy with any of this or you simply follow the light meter technique I explained last week. It is just a matter of you fixing everything right till you can see what you want.

Back to the issue of software,I tried to register with adobe twice now to rent their software but they said it will come into my country (Nigeria) soon and I love this great software. So if you are reading this and you are in United States, please let adobe understand that there are people waiting to be part of the creative cloud community legally in Nigeria. I have worked on my movie and "complicated", which is a Victor Olukoju's film on my genuinely purchased software. I am not saying this because I am a rich guy but because that is the truth. Here is what I think as the solution to this problem.

Those who are lovers of Adobe product should mail them to make an arrangement for west africa, there are good people in this land. Now there are some software you can use for free legally, and you can do great things with them if you can learn them.

Lightworks: This is a powerful editing software used for more than a decade by professionals in United States to edit movies like Mission Impossible and some others like it. You can use this professional software for editing and your mind will be at rest. After you have mastered this great software, you can move to the pro version which is not costly at all.

Davinci Resolve 11: This software is a very powerful color grading software and it is ranked to be the best in the world. You can download davinci resolve 11 lite version, with this you can edit your movie, balance your audio and colour grade your job professionally.

DAZ 3d: This is a powerful free 3d software you can download, whether for animation or game development. This is a very powerful tool with great starter models.

There are lots of things to still talk about, let us save that till next week. You can download those software I have mentioned and start the usage immediately.

Feel free to share and ask your questions. Thanks for your time, till next week Monday when I shall be coming your way again, keep your God-given dreams alive and remain blessed.
