Agnetha ABBA Video Remix “When You Walk In The Room”
Here is a list of basic equipment that should start assembling if you want to market using videos on the web.
1. There are many cameras or video cameras video that will serve well. However, do not just go out and buy the first nice hits your eye. You have to look far to find a video camera that has a MIC IN.
Why is it so important? Your videos will sound more professional. If you do not use an external microphone, the microphone of the camera collect ambient noise, echoes of the room and probably sound like you're inside a barrel when you make your videos. That's very disturbing to the listener.
2. If you check carefully, you can find great video cameras on eBay Video Camcorders, make sure you have a camera that has an external mic in Jack. (Lo I mean, do not make the mistake of having a camera without one.) Begin with an affordable used camcorder, if necessary. There are numerous digital video or Mini DV cameras available that fits the bill. Find the PV-GS300 digital video camera. If you look carefully and consistently, is that they are available for auction on eBay. It should be in the range of $ 300 to $ 600.
The Canon GL2 camera I use is more than satisfactory. It is a 3CCD mini DV camcorder. There are new about $ 2,000 and used for about $ 1,500 bhphotovideo. Also available for less on eBay.
I would avoid the new AVCHD type video cameras, for now. Most video editing software do not work with this format yet. You want your camera to record in the Mini DV tape.
Check Bhphotovideo an assortment of video cameras new and used. You can get a warranty with most of their purchases, too.
3. To record the sound professional, a lavalier microphone is the best option. A lavalier microphone which is very affordable is the Audio-Technica ATR35s Omni directional. It works very well and has a long cable so you can run up your shirt and down the pant leg.
Time Microphones on eBay you will find one for around $ 25. Works great, too. (Remember, that's why we were smart and bought a video camera with a connection external microphone.)
4. Do not forget, video lighting is important for success in video production. We have all seen many videos that were sparked little on YouTube and many other video sharing sites. The most common errors are: * Not enough light – too many shadows * Back lighting a window, causing his face to be in the shade * blurred images because the aperature is wide open and there just is not enough light to do the job * No tripod used to help with image stability * color accuracy of the poor poor because the color temperature of light. Room lights look yellow many videos
You can fix the lighting problem quite simply and inexpensively. Here is an affordable light system that works are fantastically well. Be careful not accidentally buy a lighting system designed for photography. You want a steady light for video. Again, on eBay you can get these lights: light box Photography – Video Photography PhotoBox umbrella 2 tripods, 2 Light Holders, 2 Photobox, 2 Bulbs, 1 case approximately $ 150 to $ 180. The mine is StillShot2 and are an excellent value.
We are almost done with the list. Hold on.
5. Then you should have a tripod. While you're at it, get a fluid head type tripod. It helps when framing a scene. This tripod type is not much more expensive than a tripod conventional, but is essential to make good videos.
OK, this is the last element.
6. Sony Vegas Video 8 or 9 software is fantastic. (You can probably not for the Pro version.) It is easy to learn and very rewarding. Will be able to do much more than you probably need – certainly in first.Here is a logical comparison for you to consider. If you use Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word, you probably use 20% of the total capacity of Excel or Word. This also is true of Sony Vegas Video. You do not need all the features of the software, but as time passes, you can actually use the capabilities of others. If you are a Mac users, Final Cut Express is the way to go.
