I do look about 12 though
I might do it for a giggle actually.
Can my boyfriend be my Beast? Haha!
I've never tried acting in my life! So um.. I'll try. But if it's too cringeworthy I'll just give up I think |
I just PMd the character descriptions to you and Libra.
I think it would be so cool for someone outside the US to give it a go. I mean how lame would it be for the new girl to be in California? |

They should be all over! It would be too easy if they had to just drive local. |

Ok so I've written 3 scripts and it looks like they all are going to be made!

I'll give it a try, though I'm not sure if you'd prefer regular members or not...? I've been watching LG since last August, but haven't been active in the forums or anywhere, so no one really knows me.
As for the outside of the States bit, well, I'm from Canada, which really isn't much of a difference. And I'm 17, but I think I look a little younger.
So yeah, I'd love to give it a try if you guys want me. |

Yeah definately join in! It doesn't matter that you don't post on the forums much. This is a great way for you to get to know more people! |

I'm 16, but I look like I'm 12. I have a camera. It isn't great, but it's alright. I've been acting in theatre since I was a tot, and actually was with a talent agency for a while for commercial acting and modeling before I ditched that because it was becoming too demanding.
I can edit relatively well, but I'm not so sure about how to do the "hard cuts" like in LG15. I'd have to play around a bit to figure it out. If you'd like an example of something I've edited, I can send you my physical science project that I've been working on. It looks pretty damn great, if I do say so myself. Not to sound stuck up, though. I've just been working on it on and off since January and I think it looks jam up. _________________ Raspberry Lemonade Slurpees!

I would love to do it and have thought about doing it many different times. Is 14 too young? _________________ Co-President Of Spencer Gilman's Fan Club

LOL You saw the new Jules videos right? I don't think that is too young! |

As I said...provided we can transfer the source material, I volunteer to do some editing.
To all of you future Brees:
I suggest watching some of the early LG15 videos before filming, to get a hang of the whole static camera/Bree behavior thing (whispering to the camera, crazy nodding, eye movement, moving around in the room so it can be sped up later, etc.), and prepare your tech and room before recording - make sure there's enough light in the room, especially a fill light (be it a ceiling lamp or sunlight), and do not overmodulate the sound (read: to not talk louder than your microphone can record). This is important because especially overmodulated sound is practically impossible to fix.
I know that sounds intimidatingly technical, but it actually isn't . You should just have one light source filling the room, one primary light source lighting you, and one light source from the other side, so the shadows aren't too hard. Basically, the room should be evenly filled with light. (Just don't over-light yourself, or every other female in the forums will talk about your shiny forehead. )
You can see what I mean here:
The background is lit by sunlight. There isn't just a dark, shadowy emptyness behind her, like in the typical vlog on YouTube, but the room is nicely lit so everything is visible.
On the left side of her face, you can see the specular of the primary light. This is what's specifically lighting her, she being the object of interest in the video.
Now, if there's a light on the left side of her face, we'd expect shadows on the other side - that is not the case. Instead, there's a warm golden glow. That's the secondary light, which, as mentioned, tones down the shadows.
As you can see, it's not all that complicated - you just have to know about it.
As for the sound, the best is to just test how loud it records. Too loudly recorded sound is barely recoverable, and, while too low recorded sound can be pumped up, that leads to ugly noise in the background. If you can regulate the recording volume, do so until you can speak normally without the sound overmodulating. Check if there are meters while you record - if they go red, you're too loud.
I'm not trying to make this sound complicated (it really isn't), I'm just trying to give some basic pointers that'll lead to better footage, which, in turn, will make the end result more convincing.
Not to mention you'll like yourself much better when you look and sound well.
That being said, the most important rule is: HAVE FUN. A perfectly recorded video of a stressed out, bored person is of no use. If you don't feel like playing tech geek, just do your thing. It'd help if you prepared your environment, but it's not as important as your personal enjoyment while filming. _________________ [ YouTube Profile ] [ Dawson's Cove ]
