Derren Brown - How To Control The Nation

I don't know if anyone else had this happen to them, but for some reason I just burst out laughing partway through the video :S

Might try it again when it becomes available on demand.

Reviews from real people tend to be the most reliable, as they are real people. They think about things the same as most and so know what people like.

Film critics wh only critique are failed film-makers - the top ones anyway - I just was given the opportunity to do both. I am a fan of films before I am a film-maker and critic, so I give real opinions. I don't give films hard times unless they truly deserve it, which is why I support independent films and pick out the good of generally bad films. Inglourious *******s didn't need my help promoting it, it's dominated the box office. I worked on it, got paid, got my premiere invite and I'm done. It's business. If the film sucked I would have said so, but it happened to be phenomenal. Naturally I'm going to be biased about the films I'm producing in order to support them because I have a major role, whereas on IB, I was just a PA.

The problem is with all the movement trying to make it split screen while live would be an exceptionally hard task, the videos on youtube prove nothing, I can make 2 videos and split screen them in sony vegas or FCP without hassle but doing it to such a shaky live feed I can't imagine being such a "cake walk".

Obviously he didn't predict the balls, it's impossible but I can't see split-screen being the way he did it as it's not the sort of thing you'd expect "two camera men and Derren" to do while live on their own with all the shaking.

Who know.

Ill +rep you bud I think your point is valid.

It was a waste of time. LOL

@Neil you can get shoulder mount tripods that keep the camera amazingly steady.
