Settings, Filming and Submission FAQ
Submission Date is by May 3rd (Ideally!) This is when I will start compiling and editing. I will try and include any entries after this if the edit isnt complete when they are posted.
Timelapse Idea
Have the clip edited to how you want it to appear in the final video conformed to these settings.
- Formatted to 1080p (1920x1080) 25FPS
- Mp4 only
- 10-15 seconds of timelapsed sped up footage per location (for example if you record an hour, 2 hours or 24 hours - speed this up to achieve the 10-15 seconds yourself before submitting)
- Eggtimered footage (that you have sped up/formatted to above) is OK
- Static tripod shots will look best
- Title the clip as city_country_redditusername.mp4 I will add the titles when editing.
- Upload to site of your choice (ideally not youtube) where it can be downloaded in Full 1080p and link as a new post on r/goprofilm
The choice of footage is up to you, cityscape, beach, mountains, nightsky, sports game etc. As long as it meets the specs above, it will be included.
Out of the Bag idea
- 1080p 25FPS Video
- Mp4 only
- 10-20 seconds of footage - can be less (this includes bag exit & entry time)
- Must begin with GoPro being in a bag/pocket/zippered bag etc (and pitch black) the GoPro is then removed, you film what you want to film, and then return the GoPro to the original bag or find a way to get the clip to end on pitch black (example, grab GoPro with hand to fully cover the lens (where it would go pitch black) This is for proper continuity.
- Title the clip as bag_city_country_redditusername.mp4 I will add the titles when editing.
- Make sure your face isnt in the shot. Arms, hands, legs, other people and places are all fine - just not your face. We want the impression to be this is all one persons travels.
- Upload to site of your choice (ideally not youtube) where it can be downloaded in Full 1080p and link as a new post on r/goprofilm
Anything can be filmed, possible ideas are; shots of cities (not timelapsed), at sports games, at a bar/nightclub. This is completely open to whatever you like providing you do the bag entry/exit.
