I'm trying to work out what camera to buy. Do I go down the DSLR route and take advantage of the 35mm lens changing capability to add to the movie look? Or do I stick to video cameras? Not hugely clued up here so really happy I've found this site. Any thoughts for making something that has some of the look of film but all of the benefits of digital?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/margaritaville-video-contest#post-71344 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 13:22:11 +0000 grinner 71344@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Just finished another Margaritaville video for Anheuser-Busch.</p> <p>... and got paid for it.

The PSA one was very sad. I have to say dude you must have big pair to sit 4 foot from a gater, they must not have a very keen nose or something. With footage like these I am sure that National Geographic may be looking you up if they need some footage from the glades. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/birth-of-a-predator-documentary-filming-with-canon-hf-s21#post-70728 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 12:27:35 +0000 Mark O'Byrne 70728@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks for the comments! I live near the Everglades and found a couple of gator nests back in June and have been filming them all summer. Then it was every day for hours on end sweating my ass off for about 3 weeks prior to hatching. The nest in this video was filmed from about 4 feet away behind some rocks. No motion sensor or any other equipment besides my trusty little camera was used. Persistence and some good luck thrown in...they could have hatched while I wasn't there lol. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/birth-of-a-predator-documentary-filming-with-canon-hf-s21#post-70726 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 08:11:18 +0000 CFM Entertainment 70726@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Awesome vid!!  I loved the closeup shots</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/birth-of-a-predator-documentary-filming-with-canon-hf-s21#post-70724 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 05:17:39 +0000 Charles Schultz 70724@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Great shots and I am with pseudosafari, how did you get those shots?
