Filming Tips :

Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend? I had to embark on a journey to Houston to meet some of our brethren for the purpose of the gospel and I am having real fun on the set.

It was a nice experience in a very cool atmosphere but I had to do something I have never done before. Controlling the lens and the camera and holding the boom mic at the same time. I had to do many things myself when I went to Cameroun but the experience is totally different here.Holding the boom and shooting at the same time, it was fun anyway. because some cast also helped, the producer is a very wonderful person and her people also tried.

Have you ever thought of editing your job on Blackmagic DaVinci resolve? It is a very nice software and easy to use for someone who is use to final cut pro x. It works like avid and final cut pro. It has source and program monitor like the rest, and it comes with a magnetic time line technology like final cut pro x, the advantage of this are so enormous. I would have loved to do a video on this but not yet, because I will like to take DaVinci resolve and the basics of colour correction at the same time.

Under the brightness of the sun in this picture, I had to make use of the giant reflector you see me holding in this picture to bounce the light of the sun to light the face of the cast in the car, the car was parked backing the sun, if you shoot straight without light, that cast face will give you silhouette and that is why I said you should not go on a location without your five in one reflector. I hope I will be able to do video for us. I really appreciate you all.

Filming Tips:

Hello everyone? Hope you had a great weekend? I Remembered something I heard from Dr. Phil's program about a Nigerian who was trying to dupe a Canadian woman, it was said that the guy is in Lagos and trying to gain Canadian citizenship after collecting over 250,000 dollars from the woman. I am not sure if this is true but if it is, it was a serious character assassination to all Nigerians on an international TV program. I know we can say that a percentage of the father's and politicians of Africa are the major natural disasters we have, but how about a corrupt culture that we have imbibed?

I know that the head affects the body, but can't we change? This should start from each individual, we can determine to be the change. My friend went to the mall to buy something for me, the attendant cheated him, he was about to go home when he realized that he was cheated, he went back to the lady and the lady apologized and begged that he shouldn't alert the authorities. This lady is also a Yoruba woman, she would have lost her job or even go to jail over one dollar, and once you go to jail in America, the best thing is to go back to your country as soon as you are out, because your record is stained forever.

What has this got to do with filming? Media affects the society grossly. Nollywood need to come up with story that can affect our mentality positively. In American films, you see guns everywhere and film about terrorists. if you listen to the news that is what you see everyday. In Nigeria however, our stories are full of girlfriend boyfriend nudity and sex, a percentage of Yoruba films are terrible with curses. They portray Yorubas as touts, why are we showcasing dirty things about our culture, don't we have normal educated people in Yoruba land? Why should we be cursing and cursing at all times. I know some stories require it, but it shouldn't be 95 percent of our stories.

 If you are shooting a movie about touts then there must be curses and touts attitude, that is for Yoruba movies but English is full of other dirty things. Look at Kunle Afolayan stories, look at Tunde Kelani stories, how about Tade Ogidan stories, they are all unique. Please let's use media to change the society and the world at large. President Obama is preaching against the use of gun in America, I believe that would be much more effective if he can contract five Hollywood companies to make stories to support this good course. If President Barack Obama will connect me I can also write a story to help this great campaign.

Thank you for your time, I hope I am able to start a video tutorial on avid next week Monday. Feel free to share, if you have missed any of my past posts, please go toxtainmovie.blogspot.com or visit Christian Film Institute on Facebook and like our page.

I will share the pictures on facebook later today, you need to see how I dressed like someone going into the moon. Why won't I? Naija is really far to this place, I can't kill myself, and that is why I did not fakosi at all.
