What camcorder/editing software do you recommend for a film studies student with about £400 overall budget?

03 May

I use windows vista, and have no background knowledge of digital camcorders or editing software. Shop assistants have recommended the Canon FS200 SD, and Magix Movie Edit Pro, but I am doubtful about them – the Magix software seems a bit basic, and I have read reviews that the camcorder is ‘too shaky’, has ‘bad picture quality’ and is ‘incompatible with most editing software. Does anyone have any advice?

I’m looking at around 150€ each. I know it’s a small budget, I might manage 200€ but that is pushing it. I need to build a steadicam rig as well. Does any one know of acceptable quality HD camcorders in the low end range? I don’t want to get nameless models off ebay. 720p might work as well since it’s mostly for youtube.

High definition camcorders – Is a low budget high-def worth the upgrade?

09 Mar

I do a lot of amateur video editing, familiy stuff, currently with a MiniDV digital camera. I am tempted to upgrade to High Def, but can’t spend more than ~ $1200. Do you think those low budget high definition cameras are worth the upgrade? Should I spend more or should I wait?

Getting The Most Out Of Your Electronics Budget

30 Oct

With so numerous high definition-enabled products out there right now, how do you know which ones you really want to have? From video games to televisions to recorders and more, it seems like everything it being slowly brought over into high definition format, but depending on what kind of lifestyle you have, you may only benefit from purchasing certain items. What do I mean? Well, let me vindicate.


If you watch a lot of tv and movies at home (for instance, if you have a game room), then getting an HD TV would be a swell investment for you. But, if you do all of your television watching in a certain area of the refuge, it may be more cost effective to only get an HD TV for that particular room and leave the other rooms in the house alone.


It depends on how much of a TV enthusiast you are. Getting one for the main area of the house and leaving the rest of the household to buy their own would probably be the unexcelled answer to a house full of people who all want their own HD TV.


If you like to follow a lot of flicks, you’ll have to get a DVD player that will play HD DVDs, because normal DVD players do not support performing this new formatting. This is common meaning to numerous technophiles and hopefully to you, as well, but you will also have to have an HD TV to catch the HD movies on, since a normal television will not support the playback of these DVDs, either.


The identical goes for playing HD video games, such as on Xbox or Sony Playstation 3. If you acquire friends over to play games oftentimes or if you just like performing games exclusive, an HD TV could be good. If you like having friends over to play multiplayer games (such as with 3 or 4 players), a big screen HD TV could be great, too, but pricy.


If you are the household member that takes all of the videos every year during the holidays, you could invest in an HD camcorder to get the finest qualify videos that you can get.


The point is, no matter what electronic item you acquire that supports high definition formatting, you want to make sure you will be able to get a good amount of use out of it, especially since these components are on the costly side right now. The price will surely come down on all of these items, but it will take time. If you have to acquire an HD compliant component now and you’re on a budget, determine carefully.

 

CD DVD Duplication Replication – Effective Low Budget Marketing

13 Oct

Word of mouth is the best form of marketing. It creates trust. People often will pass up a better deal to work with someone they trust will do the job and do it well. One very effective way to accomplish all of this is doing mass marketing with your own DVD or CD.

You’re probably thinking this could be expensive. Well let me show you how this works. You can get yourself a cheap camcorder on Ebay. After you videotape yourself you can have it transferred for twenty dollars on to a DVD. You can then have one thousand mass copied for seventy eight cents each or less. I will show you the process.

Before I do let me explain something important. People will throw away an ad before looking at it. But people will have a hard time throwing away a CD or DVD before looking at it or listening to it. They will feel obligated to check it out. We grew up that way. We all feel that CDs and DVDs are expensive. You just don’t throw away a Disc!

Now this next part is interesting. Because they have now invited you into their home by listening or viewing your disc, you have seriously become a bit of a celebrity. It’s the way the mind works. By hearing your voice they will feel like they know you. If you keep your presentation within fifteen minutes and fill it with information about your service or what you do then they will be interested. Do not sell them on anything. Teach them.

Even if it is something they are not interested in they will remember you. When they are talking with someone who is interested or needs your service they will bring you up. This is how the mind works.

To produce your own DVD first get yourself a cheap camcorder. You can get cheap ones on Ebay. Put the device on a stand or get someone to hold it for you. Like I said before, keep it within fifteen minutes and don’t sell your audience. Teach them. Show them what you do and what you have to offer. Knowledge will sell. We are built to learn. It’s good for us. It’s interesting.

Then go online and do a search for “Video Transfer” in your area. On the left side you will see a list of people hungry for your business. Find someone who will transfer video for no more than twenty dollars. Next go online and do a search for DVD duplication in your area. If you go to the store and buy your own cheap DVDs you can find someone who will burn one hundred for you for one dollar each. If you want a thousand you don’t need to buy your own DVDs. They can mass replicate them with full color graphics on the face of the DVD for less than eighty cents each.

This is a great way to market yourself. People will know you. They won’t forget you and deep downside they will appreciate the information you have given them. It’s interesting how much we hold ourselves back from learning about things. Knowledge always gives us possibilities and opens new doors. All of our hopes and dreams are limited to only what we know. All our decisions are based on only what we know.
