Hey everyone! Friday night a few friends and I went out doing street magic. We had a camera and got a good 35-40 minutes of footage. Not all of it is workable, though.
So, I want to hear everyone's thoughts on how to film street magic or any type of magic for REAL PEOPLE. We can discuss anything pertaining to this subject. I personally think angles is a good one to talk about. Where should you film from? I, for one, can't stand just a side shot where you see the magician and the person just standing there the whole time. I also can't stand a shot where you see the magician, only the magician, and the video is over after the trick and it doesn't show anyone's reactions.
Anybody else have any thoughts, comments, or questions about this? I love filming when we go perform, so I think this could be a very helpful thread not only to me, but possibly to many others as well!
Thanks,
Rob
