Two cameras filming at once!!!!!!!!!!!?
 

Im picking up my new video cam today and,just thought Id ask some of you what are some cool things you can pull off with two cameras filming at once on one subject?

How is this related to 9-11 or politics? :pimp

you mean other than a second angle?

Yes other than a second angle Im sure there must be more you can do.:thumbsup

Youll see what Im getting at when I start getting some answers here to this!

Other then a second angle?

I guess you could use one camera as a step-stool so you can get a bit higher of a shot on the other camera's angle.

You could also take one of the camera's apart, and use the lens in the sunlight to focus the heat energy and burn one of the models on an outdoor set, so you'll catch them saying "ouch" (will probably want to get a special release prepared for that one, though).

You could film a camera sitting on a chair. Can't really do that if you only have one camera... well, unless you have a mirror - but then it's only the reflection of the same camera, so it's not really the same thing. And you couldn't film the side of a camera... even IF you had a mirror. So there's that.

:)

bump....i'd like to read the answers too

we did it with an orgy video last month, We filmed for about 30 minutes and when I did the edit and final video it was about 40 minutes long. You miss a lot of action in an orgy with one camera. We could have made it 50 minutes easy but went with the best stuff. DId take a lot longer to edit though. Not something I would bother with again

Added to my 'To Do' list. :thumbsup

you can turn the camera on yourself so the viewer gets an idea of the dipshit who is filming..

I had the idea for a site, once upon a time, to have a dual angle site where you see the POV of the male.... AND you see the entire room via security cam.

So that surfer could switch between angles on their own.

I think that would do well.

It does very well :)

Well, you could allways do a poo, and then film the poo, and not miss any of the non poo related action that you are shooting on the other camera.
You can then call your style POV/POP...
Point Of View / Pile Of Poo.
I like poo

you like poo. Juicy likes pie.

That was my first thought when I saw the thread title. lol

How about picture in picture? It works for us :thumbsup

BTS (Behind The Scenes)
or
Or do a humiliation scene. Have the guy fucking the chick while shooting her POV style, bragging about how he is going to show it off to all his friends. Use the 2nd camera as a prop. You can then cut between the 2 camera in the edit.

Editing 2 cameras can be a nightmare. Take 3 times as long and you're never satisfied with the results.

There are so many ways to screw up a 2 camera shoot that you should practice and practice to get it right for you. You need two identical cameras. Make sure they are both set exactly the same, test them on a single monitor switching from one to the other to make sure of is color balance and other things. Switch of the sound of one. If one is on the tripod fixed have it full scene and make sure the models don't move out of frame. If there are two camera men make sure they don't trip over each other and/or film each other when the action gets hot. You synchronize the start and both stop at the same times.

Just a few things to look out for. LOL

:thumbsup ...

Did you actually apply any brain power to your question before you posted it?

But with TWO or MORE mirrors...

you could use one camera to film in 30p, cinema mode or sepia etc etc and blend that footage in artistically

One camera is cinema

Two cameras is television

once cam in hd, one in low d etc.. we do a lot of BS with two cameras, webcams etc, all fun stuff to give the videos different feels. Just fuck around with it, see if you like something you see.

What camera are you going to get?

Picture in picture is awesome.

Remember all those dvds that came out MULTI ANGLE BLAH BLAH BLAh .. it never worked heh..

Wow :thumbsup Serious experience right there.

I've heard some POV people use this to have a tri pod mounted camera getting the side shots to fade in and out with the hand held camera pointing down and used as the main view
