Welcome to the DMF. Where I try to find out what motivates people behind the scenes in the world of acting and entertainment. Today on the podcast I am talking to film director and podcaster: Damien Swaby. This week we talk about being an actor and starting his podcast. As always you can reach me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with my name Justin Younts. Thank you for listening and sit back and enjoy. Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. This is part two. I transitioned from acting to filmmaking, and it was a journey filled with challenges and revelations. I didn't go to film school; instead, I learned on set, surrounded by talented crew members and directors. My background as an actor allowed me to observe the intricacies of filmmaking, which sparked my interest in creating my own short films and documentaries. I realized that the acting opportunities were dwindling, and I needed to pivot my career towards filmmaking. Throughout my acting career, I often found myself more engaged with the crew than the cast. I was fascinated by the technical aspects of filmmaking, from cinematography to editing. This curiosity led me to create my own projects, where I could collaborate with the talented individuals I had met along the way. However, the transition wasn't easy. I faced financial struggles and a lack of opportunities, which made me question my path. I often reflect on my time as an actor, the joy of performing, and the frustration of not finding the right roles. The last few years of my acting career were particularly challenging, as I relied heavily on commercials for income. The pay had stagnated, and the opportunities seemed to diminish with each passing year. I felt like a starving artist, proud of my work but struggling to make ends meet. Despite these challenges, I found solace in storytelling and the desire to create new narratives. I started the Filmmaking Conversations Podcast to share my journey and connect with others in the industry. Through this platform, I've had the privilege of speaking with a diverse range of guests, from Oscar winners to independent filmmakers. Each conversation has enriched my understanding of the craft and inspired me to keep pushing forward. If you're passionate about filmmaking or considering a career transition, I encourage you to embrace your journey. Learn from your experiences, connect with others, and never lose sight of your passion for storytelling. Together, we can navigate the ever-evolving landscape of the film industry and create meaningful work that resonates with audiences. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I hope to inspire you to pursue your dreams in filmmaking. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/filmmaking-conversations-podcast-with-damien-swaby/id1260717243 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:00:06 - Transition from Acting to Filmmaking 00:02:12 - Acting Experience and Challenges 00:03:49 - Stage Acting and New Stories 00:03:49 - Acting Process and Challenges 00:07:31 - Acting Training and Techniques 00:11:41 - Starting a Podcast 00:15:14 - Joining Indie Film Hustle Podcast Network

Aron Eisenberg Talks Nog and Star Trek. Deep Space Nine did wonders for the Ferengi, transforming them from campy comic-relief villains into a mirror for ourselves and what we're like today. Although Quark got the headline role, his brother Rom and nephew Nog made perhaps the biggest strides. Nog in particular went from thieving kid in “Emissary” to a Starfleet officer by the final season, showing a depth of character equal to that of any other member of the crew. In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing are joined by the man who brought Nog to life: Aron Eisenberg. Aron shares the story of how he landed the role, how he had to rely on “The Last Outpost” for Ferengi guidance, the evolution of the character from Jake's friend to Starfleet officer, and much more. We also talk about Aron's upcoming appearance at the 2050 Daytona Beach con in Florida, and his current health situation which includes ongoing kidney dialysis and the search for a donor.

In this episode Brian and Ike discuss camera and cinematography with a focus on the various angles, styles, and uses in game design. How to choose a camera, iterate on it, and reference film cinematography are all covered in this jam packed episode. We got feedback! It's such a great feeling when we hear back from listeners since we're flying blind so to speak. Please keep it coming with your feedback so we can make the most out of your listening experience! We have been busy with our own studios, but enjoy taking the time out to make this podcast. 5 Ways to Consider Using Camera and Cinematography for Video Games Camera and cinematography in video games are similar to that of movies. There's a lot to consider and sift through to keep the right amount of dramatic feel to your game. 3rd Person Camera Strategically use Camera and Handle Views Controls and Camera Relative Controls Cinematography 101 Camera Angles Getting Started with the 3rd Person Camera Using a 3rd person camera creates a more artistic video game with a cinematic feel as apposed to using just a 1st person camera. You're able to do more story telling in your game design as well as identify with the main character like in the movies. The player can see just how cool the character looks and is going to feel like that character in a clear connection. This concept brought on more female characters in videogames as well - Tomb Raider example. Strategically use Camera and Handling Views For your video game you want to create a great experience for the player. A way you can do this is to use many different shots and angles during game play. Diablo example. Also you can relate back to acting and the difference between Movies and Stage Acting and apply it to game developing. The goal is to use the camera strategically. Views can challenging because it is a sensitive thing that needs to be done well since it is the eyes the viewer is looking through. A few things to consider are: How far back do I want the Camera How fast do I want the Camera to rotate How fast will the Camera move What happens when player goes around the corner What happens when an obstacle is in the way There is so much more with no specific answer, you just have to keep playing and testing your game. Sometimes the answers depend on your environment. Controls and Camera Relative Controls Remember every time you touch the camera, it will have an effect on the controls. It is a one to one relationship and when developing, it's important to spend the same amount of time for both. You can use the camera in combination with the controls to help guide the player. (Rage example. Resident Evil example). Try to tame the camera. Think about movies and the restraint they use. The cameras are mostly still and subtle. Don't make it about the camera, the player shouldn't be thinking about the camera. You know you're doing the camera right when you don't notice the camera. Use the Camera as a tool in game design: Can have other influences or something interesting in the environment Use camera to guide them Hint the player where to go - softly Shadow of the Colossus and Journey example Cinematography 101 The Theory of Thirds is essential in video game development because you want your character not to be in the middle of the screen, that would be boring. So, first you take your frame, divide into 3 horizontal lines and 3 vertical lines like a tic tac toe board. The 4 points where the lines intersect are the most dramatic. (Examples of formula to create more drama. Gears of War example). It adds drama whenever you change how the camera performs. Depth of Field is another great tool to use in game design and development. (Source example). The camera focus is really important and needs to be used correctly. It acts as a soft way to lead the player since eyes naturally follow what's in focus. Camera Angles Two camera angles to consider:
