TZ24 - Practice Filmmaking + “AlKarMar” (Short Film)

Sort of a long episode, as we decided to include Peter’s old short film. It’s about four minutes, and it’s not really a true short film so much that it documents a random night out…

For some trivia, the title (something we wondered about) comes from the name of the street where the Bad Robot production company resides…

TZ22 - Framing the Subject

Sean used to work at an Aaron Brothers, and so he should know all about framing. That’s half of what the episode is about, because framing subjects with the camera is very important…

TZ21 - Camera Angles, Part 2

Happy New Year! Merry Christmas!

Things have been busy here at Take Zer0. By ‘busy’ we mean holiday partying and playing Sean’s new Wii. But that hasn’t stopped us from putting out another episode.

We’ll go over the basics of camera angles. Didn’t we talk about camera angles last time?..

TZ20 - Camera Angles, Part 1

Camera angles can be expressed in both physical and psychological terms. This episode, Part One of two, presents the physical angles: low-angle, high-angle, and dutch angle. We’ll present Part Two next week.

We’re still working hard on preparing content for TZ v2.0…
