Tips - How I acquired Master Director Badge with planning & a few Supplementary Points - Tra

[MortenCopenhagen]

Hi @TravellerG 

Thanks for sharing this. I agree 100% with the notion that Maps videos need a story or a plan. I see way too many videos panning one way just to pan back aimlessly to show the same again. Also, slow and steady camera movements are crucial, as shown in your sample video.  When shooting it might also be worth keeping in mind that many videos are auto-cropped to a square format when shown on Google Maps. So it is important to keep the important elements in the center square whether you are shooting in vertical or horizontal orientation. 

The photo and video servers are so smart that they compress our videos depending on the size of the users' screens. So adding 4K videos is not an issue. I shared my observations on this here. 

Cheers

Morten

@TravellerG Sir, Congrats for the achievement and thanks a ton for this incredible piece of information!

Been a massive fan of your journey on Google Maps, and this report is pure gold for anyone chasing that badge. It's like having a roadmap to becoming a master director yourself! ️ The way you break down the process is fantastic, especially the "Video First & Last" tip. It's such a simple yet effective way to ensure you're capturing those all-important videos. It's like having a little filming mantra to keep you on track! And the "scenes for videography" planning? Genius! It feels like having a mini-movie script for each location, making the whole filming process so much smoother.

This report is seriously inspiring. It makes that Master Director badge feel achievable, like a summit you can conquer with the right planning and dedication. Onwards and upwards to getting mine!

Thanks once again, @TravellerG Sir, for sharing your knowledge and paving the way for ambitious local guides blossom into filmmakers! This is exactly the kind of community spirit that makes Connect so special.🌟
