About This Site

I am Mark Watson and I like making films.

This site is mainly a vehicle for my films, and a few others by other people.

As the new site evolves I hope to include some useful guidance based on what I have learned so far.

Films stream at 500k to 1.5 mbit per second so broadband is needed to see the films.  They are encoded in wmv format so Mac owners will need to install the free player from Microsoft.

Compression

with WMV

wmv is very useful way of web casting your videos.  This tutorial shows how to get the best from it.
Mics - how different are they?

 This short film demonstrates  huge differences between camcorder and pro mics.

Spice up your clips-

Saturation.

 Do you want more colour in your life. Or some groovy effects like the red coat in Schindler's List?

Spice up your clips-

Curves. 

 A tool everyone should learn. Curves can be used to give your video a richer look.
