    I have to say, I really enjoy your tutorials ideas simply because they’re fun. Who doesn’t love a good fallout video? :p Keep up the good work!

    Wait a second. If I have a 1080p video, I will have to bring everything to 720p so that it looks good, right? But then I have to upload it as a 720p!

    • http://www.youtube.com/pwnisher Clinton Jones

      Yes, thats a downside to something like this. You could always just loose a little qulity (depending on how far you zoom in) and upload as 1080.

    Or I could actually zoom with my DSLR and then work with that ;)

      Well if you did that you would have a very shakey hand, and wouldn’t pan up and around at the correct speeds, You would also have to do a lot of motion tracking, which is one thing I was trying to avoid. But if you want the shakey tracked on look then that would be cool. Your actor would just have to be VERY still, because if your moving the camera around, and you freeze frome, then obviously you wouldn’t have anymore camera move.
