Celluloid Remix This is the second edition of the successful video-remix competition containing historical fragments from EYE's film collection. Professionals and amateurs remix special film material from the Bits & Pieces collection into new short films with an individual soundtrack.
Bits & Pieces are short fragments, snippets from films that are often forgotten or have disappeared. Quite often these ‘remnants’ are discarded from the archives.
For all information and details please visit www.celluloidremix.nl. You can also keep in touch through the Celluloid Remix Facebook page Celluloid Remix Facebook-page.

Camcorders• MiniDV cameras: In the last few years, digital cameras have become more and more popular. They provide higher-resolution images than older formats. MiniDV tapes are small and record in a digital format. • DVD cameras: These cameras use DVD technology with the capability of recording onto a disc or memory card. This new format is still not in widespread use. • DVCAM cameras: These cameras provide better quality and steadier images than a MiniDV. This format is used more and more by broadcasters. MiniDV tapes can usually be used in this lightweight camera. • HD cameras and 24P cameras: New cameras that shoot in formats suited for high-defi nition television, and a format that is closer to analog fi lm in shutter speed, and thus better suited for transfer to fi lm. Both are high-quality formats, increasingly being used by documentary fi lmmakers.
Transitions.
Dissolves: Any time you have a cut that looks or sounds abrupt, try adding a dissolve to smooth the transition. This effect blends the two video clips together so that audiences barely notice the change.
Fade In & Fade Out: You'll notice that most professional videos begin and end with a black screen. It's easy to give your projects this same professional look by adding a Fade In at the start of the video and a Fade Out at the end.
Superimpose: Superimposing one video image on top of another can be a little bit tricky, but it is a powerful tool if used properly. Be careful where you apply it; if the scenes are too busy it wont work well.
Filmtips:
Close-ups are used for distinguishing main characters. Major characters are often given a close-up when they are introduced as a way of indicating their importance. Leading characters will have multiple close-ups. There is a long-standing stereotype of insecure actors desiring a close-up at every opportunity and counting the number of close-ups they received.
Close-up shots do not show the subject in the broad context of its surroundings. If overused, close-ups may leave viewers uncertain as to what they are seeing. Close-ups are rarely done with wide angle lenses, because perspective causes objects in the center of the picture to be unnaturally enlarged. Certain times, different directors will use wide angle lenses, because they can convey the message of confusion, and bring life to certain characters.
Slowing down a video can enhance emotional and dramatic moments. Try it in wedding videos or flashback scenes. And don't forget comedy--funny moments are often even more hilarious when seen in slow-mo!
Fast Motion
Fast motion is a creative way to indicate the passage of time. Accelerated clouds, city traffic or crowds of people are all good candidates for this effect.
Fast motion is also great for showing the progression of a project. Keep your video camera fixed on an object as it is being constructed or assembled, then speed it up to show the entire process in a matter of minutes or seconds.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
