JAY MILES LEADS THE CONQUEST OF YOUTUBE

I’m subscribed to a number of film festival and student channels, for example, where I keep up on teasers and trailers for films by both established and upcoming filmmakers. I end up following links from those channels or clips to other websites, simply to get more information about the films, find out when screenings are happening and see longer versions of the films.

In that way, I think filmmakers should approach YouTube more as a cost-free marketing springboard to generate interest in their work, and consider posting longer (or complete) versions of their films on those sites that are better suited to proper films and tend to attract those potential viewers who either have a preference for traditional film, a longer attention span or are curious to see more. Also, the well-worn path taken by directors from music videos to features remains viable and YouTube presents the perfect platform for launching your career via this route. So get out there, find that hungry, talented local band and start shooting!

Your book offers “101 pro video tips.” For the sake of brevity, can you please summarize the Top 10 tips? My number one suggestion? Buy more batteries! It won’t matter how many fancy lenses, microphones or camera rigs you drag to your location – if you run out of juice, you got nothing. Invest in two or three backups, label them with numbers or colored tape and keep them charged and ready.

Speaking of microphones, invest in a good one before you splurge on that dolly rig. More video is ruined by bad audio than any other factor, so make sure to make sound a top priority.

Feeling legal? I know, I know, its boring stuff – but getting a basic location agreement in place before you shoot can save you a nightmare down the road. The same is true for image releases – make everyone sign one, even your best friends, if they appear on camera at all.

Another big mistake is to lug all your gear and your actors off to your location without a proper plan in place. Don’t rely simply on your brilliant artistic vision! Put in on paper in advance, either in storyboard or shot list format. Trust me – when you get caught up in the whirlwind of shooting, it’s a lifesaver to be able to refer back those ideas on paper.

Review by Basil MacDougal : JVC HDD Camcorder

This is an awesome little camcorder. The zoom is one of the best I've ever seen. We bought this before vacation and it was so nice to be able to carry a small camera with me instead of lugging my old video camera around. I got to where I had to decide if I really wanted videos bad enough to carry it with me. But with this little camera, it is just so easy. I went ahead and bought another bigger battery. I'm glad I did. The battery that comes with the camera does not last very long. If I were going to knock this camera at all, it would be for the crumby battery that comes with it. I can see that that is how they keep the cost down. Because, the bigger battery was NOT cheap. I paid about $85 for it--something for anyone to consider before buying this camera.

Review by Michael D. Lundin "MDL" : Good Product, Bad software

So far I like the camera. Very simple to operate, and serves its purpose. I wish the lense cover was automatic, but not a big deal. I do not care for the software that comes with the camera, at all. But with that in mind I did not buy the camera for the software. I found the best way to, edit, manage or upload things to the internet is with a seperate video editing software that is realativly inexpensive. I use Cyber Director, (I think that is what it is called) and it works much better for editing and uploading videos.
