how about a thread on video production

Gooday All

I have been tanking still photos for many years including several years as a commercial photographer. A couple of years back I decided to give video a go.

Well the order of complexity goes up many fold over still phototaking and it is very challanging. To gget good scenes requires planning. Not only do you have to worry about the visual aspects, you have the sound to get correct as well. Having an outdoor scene with wind noise detracts so much from the production qualities as to make the scene almost unusable.

With all the ex-military vehicles around and people dressed up in period uniforms, I am sure there is plenty of latitude tor some great amatuer work.

It does really involve team work, however good and interesting results canh be obtained by the sole operator.

YouTube provides the opportunity to share the results.

what do others think?

cheers

I ‘moved’ from stills to video some six or seven years ago and have never regretted it. Some aspects are more complicated, others are made simple by the move to video. It is, though expensive!

A good camera £500-600; good tripod (with a fluid head) and monopod £250; high spec computer (at least 2.33G processor) £600; editing and post production software £80; two external HDD for archiving £120.

Then the need to learn and gain experience for which a lot of patience is needed

Regards
