Shoot HD Video with the Canon 5D Mark II

Image
In a dimly lit reception counter just outside the wedding ballroom, I threw 3 rose petals under the table, which was of course in the shadow (very dark). Without lights, my Sony HDR-FX7 could not see anything, totally dark. My assistant’s Sony VX2000 DV camcorder could at least boost the gain to reveal the rose petals, BUT with plenty of grains. The Canon 5D Mark II did the job really well. The rose petals were brilliant red and in perfect contrast with the surrounding shadows. Best of all, there were no noticeable grains. You may need to zoom in to the picture to see the grains, but that’s fine for video. Yes, no flash was used. Canon 5D Mark II Video Sample Review

Learn Sound Recording Techniques for Film and TV

Image
Some valuable lessons I learnt from this DVD: The size and price of a microphone has nothing to do with with the audio recording quality. Technique is more important than equipment. A shotgun microphone is good for outdoor while a hypercardioid microphone is good for indoor. A wireless lavaliere microphone is suitable for newscasting, weddings and reality shows. (I like the demonstration on how to hide the microphone wires on the talent.) Though the DVD emphasizes on good audio recording techniques, there is a chapter on how to fix bad audio in post production… using Sony Vegas Pro! Sound for Film and Television - Review

Maybe I am biased because he was talking video and using online video to generate website traffic. He reveals the formula to generate massive traffic with online videos...
