Get A Tripod Please - Why Every Video Maker Needs to Use a Tripod

Video shot for the Internet will gain huge advantages when using a tripod. This is because all compression and encoding software uses "sampling" . Even if the human eye can't detect it, software can. The smoother the movement the better. This will result in a crisp and cleaner export to the video codec of your choice. Not only will it stream better and avoid buffer hang-ups. The file size will be smaller as less information needs to be saved.

Having folks talk back to them, at them is not something the slow learners really understand, want to hear. But social media was developed for and has grown so rapidly because its for people to share information, ideas, thoughts, almost everything with the rest of the community. Liking or unliking or totally hating companies/products was just an after thought so...tread lightly, listen, learn or else!!! Read the article here

So you want to direct? For many aspiring filmmakers, the most effective path is by learning the work from the ground up and part of that is being a First AD.  Running the Show: The Essential Guide to Being a First Assistant Director, might not be the best designed or most colorful instructional film making book on the market but clearly it is one of the most insightful.

The Canon VL-10Li II is a compact and powerful 10 watt video light for indoor or outdoor use. The light is powered by it's own (not included) battery pack - the BP-950G or BP-970G Lithium Ion battery. It attaches directly to the camcorder's accessory shoe. This on camera light works best with the following Canon camcorder models; XH-G1 and XH-A1. Slide it on and make a movie. Even the best camcorders need a little extra light now and then. Just $79. ** Remember, you will also need to buy the battery pack. Wedding videographers really like this. Small and throws off enough light.

When shooting video, the sound is more important than images. Your audience will put up with fuzzy, jiggly or under lit video but they won't be able to comprehend poor audio. Poor audio is the killer of quality video. The standard microphones found embedded inside of most camcorders do a fair to poor job of capturing audio. It is not that the mike is made of inferior materials (but it may be) but that it is impossible to capture good quality sound from any kind of mike that is locked inside a camcorder.
