<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2798681, member: 56859&quot;]I&#039;ve shot a handful of coin videos in the last day, all with an iPhone.&nbsp; I&#039;m using a basic video editor called VideoPad.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first attempt was this Siculo-Punic tet.&nbsp; In subsequent attempts I moved the coin around a bit more and also capture side shots.</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]EFhCjNlghkA[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s Philip II tet.&nbsp; I wish I&#039;d zoomed a little bit or else had the ability to crop the video (maybe VideoPad can do that... I haven&#039;t explored).&nbsp; I added a brief description which displays throughout.&nbsp; This coin has abundant iridescence in the full spectrum of colors so a video is much better than a still image for displaying this coin&#039;s virtues.</p><p><br /></p><p>[Video edited to fix a typo; reuploaded with new URL]</p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]4IDMwan1i9Y[/MEDIA]</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cointalk.com%2Fproxy.php%3Fimage%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fstatic.wixstatic.com%252Fmedia%252Fae43f8_14f8b1f0dff14427a8ed38e60769bc9b.jpg%252Fv1%252Ffill%252Fw_1000%252Ch_625%252Cal_c%252Cq_90%252Fae43f8_14f8b1f0dff14427a8ed38e60769bc9b.jpg%26hash%3D58f9317217bbda869f6472d508076eb6&amp;hash=974082f0419838526c8f2940a8591741" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Video seems to do a good job of flattering large silver coins so I tried shooting this somewhat beat up Odessos tet.&nbsp; It too looks better in video.</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]42SxsqGSQPE[/MEDIA]</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/macedon-alexii-tet-odessos-a-jpg.414941/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I shot a couple of bronzes but haven&#039;t edited them yet.&nbsp; Looking at the raw video... <i>shiny</i> dark bronze does not lead to flattering video.&nbsp; Tilted towards the light makes the devices stand out but creates glare; without direct light it&#039;s hard to see much of anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris&#039;s inclusion of the still images at the end of his video is a good idea.&nbsp; I&#039;ll do that next time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Suggestions for improvement are welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
