Only, at best, a couple hundred dollars difference for a mega-difference in technological improvements over the HV20. Might even last long enough to outlive availability of MiniDV tape.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/beginner-filmmaker-first-camcorder-recommendations#post-47181 Tue, 26 May 2009 06:51:16 +0000 zoobie 47181@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>You'll have to research the cams yourself. However, I can tell you is the best value these days is a refurbed Canon HV20. It's a small handycam that shoots HDV and has a good audio setup including input. Right now, you won't be able to beat the value. It's about $420 US. Be aware that PAL cams can't send the video back to the cam for various reasons. However, you can simply store your productions on cheap HDD's these days.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/movie-edit-pro-tutorial-series-1#post-47124 Sat, 23 May 2009 16:30:39 +0000 Aspyrider 47124@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If you need help with Movie Edit Pro check out my DVD tutorials: <a href="http://www.jmlmultimedia.com/mmep/index.htm">LINK</a></p> <p>Ã? </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/tyro-filmaker-sony-pd170-or-canon-xh-a1#post-46423 Mon, 04 May 2009 16:15:49 +0000 robgrauert 46423@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>haha...i just saw this on CreativeCow.</p> <p>Anyway...what is your end product going to be?

I make an extremely evaluation when I pick people that could work in my crew and I test people with simple task to know if they are worthy enough to make a good job. Tasks like what they think about something, telling them to organize a group of people, giving them a task that makes them feel important. The last one is a good technique because people feel that they need to prove themselves worthy in front of other people and not just to the director. Of course as a director you are always the one in charge and don't let people take your job. Also you must let your crew know the difference between working and having a good time. In order to direct properly you must have a strong personal authority so people could see you as the leader to follow. When directing you cannot be soft with people, you cannot be weak at all (because people will treat you like a weak helpless person), you cannot do what everyone wants, and you always follows what is written in the script. Don't be afraid of being an authority figure and if you need to tell off a person just do it, and always be the director.</p> <p>I have directed a few video productions and shows, and sometimes people don't want to do anything so I begin to get rougher than usual and this way people react and work. The roughness does not last much and to counterpart this I take a few people of the group that I think are worthy and make them leaders. Making people leaders makes your job a lot easier and moves the production a lot faster. So in my experience, directing is having authority, a lot of knowledge dealing with people, being good with cameras, video editing, lighting, etc and being able to created leaders.</p> <p>Hopes this helps</p> <p>Luis</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/where-to-start#post-43389 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 15:53:39 +0000 -Marc- 43389@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks alot dude :D</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/where-to-start#post-43379 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 04:39:56 +0000 chrisColorado 43379@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I just make my movies alone. I am a loner when it comes to art/media and I can't stand how others do their job. Besides, I can do their job better, even along with my own job as Director.
