    What was your "Eureka" moment-discovering filmmaking

    I create training videos for the company I work for. I started getting more creative and then realized I'd love to do this more. So a few paychecks later I had a ton of equipment that I had no idea how to use and I was off to the races. Been a great ride so far!

    Time for a new tripod?

    Look for something with a fluid head. That will give you the smooth pans and tilts you are looking for.

    watch help! my funny mountain dew commercial

    I thought it was funny, good idea. Living in Utah I think I'd get more than others. The one thing I'd work on is sound. Definitely get an external recorder and a shotgun mic for outdoors, and a hypercardioid for indoors. Read up on Alcove Audios blogs, they were incredibly helpful for me. And...

    FREE IDEA (the best movie ever)

    I assumed that was case. You definitely did a great job with the framing and the lights. You and I joined the boards around the same time I think, and I've only seen good things from you and you keep getting better. Bravo indeed.

    FREE IDEA (the best movie ever)

    Strange... Yes. Sad... a little. Intriguing to the point that I couldn't turn it off... Absolutely. There is so little in the scene that you created yet I couldn't stop watching. The script was great and the emotion was portrayed very well. I don't know why I liked it as much as I did but it was...

    I dream of documentary.

    Sounds like some great equipment to start out. I would definitely suggest picking up some nice mics though. I'm kinda in the same boat you are in, except I don't have to deal with the depression. Good on you for that, I grew up with many people who suffered from depression and bipolar disorder...

    Previous employment

    I do Corporate training videos with a major online retailer. Not the most exciting job in the world, but it pays the bills and allows me to make videos (albeit not the ones I really want to be making, but making them non the less)

    Oktava MK-012 Question

    So I just purchased a multi capsule Oktava MK-012 mic and am very excited to start using it. I bought it because I will be shooting indoors for the most part and needed a hyper-cardioid mic. This is the set I ordered. http://oktava.com/inc/sdetail/475 My question is; If I wanted to use this...

    Can anyone explain in laymens terms:

    NTSC is the standard video format for the united states and a few other countries around the world. You more than likely have a NTSC camcorder unless you purchased it from the UK who use PAL as their standard.

    Color Correction Advice

    Will, I like that look a lot too. Do you think there would be a better way to saturate the colors but still give it that warm feel that you did?

    Image Centreing Software?

    Adobe AE CS4 has that kind of stabilization. It's not super ideal because it ends up cropping the edges of your video but it's still useful non-the less.
