About to shoot a lot of therapy dogs for a local hospital, so this comes at a really great time.  And now I know to shoot wide shots first...and switch up angles for editing. Plus, I now know to let the animals do their thing and change my "initial" scripting as necessary.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-make-wildlife-yotube-videos#post-62108 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 19:57:33 +0000 Omar Ghanem 62108@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Omar Ghanem,iam an Egyptian and the creator of Natural Geo-Team.</p> <p>if you are wondering what is Natural Geo-Team?</p> <p> </p> <p> <br /> Natural Geo-team© is a group known for making short Wildlife Documentaries and Vlogs on Youtube. <br />We film anything concerning Nature and we have some webs series's that we are working on:<br />-Herping with Omar.<br />-Travel and Adventure.<br />-Graden Lovers.<br />-Sea madness.<br />-Nature Short Clips.<br />-Ant's empire.&lt;/span&gt;</p> <p> </p> <p>We started the real work on youtube on june 2009 and we made a group of loyal audience till now.</p> <p>i want you guys to check my videos out, i will be very thankful.</p> <p>this is my <a href="http://www.naturalgeo-team.jimdo.com">websiteÃ? </a></p> <p>and this is my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/natgeoteam">Youtube pageÃ?  </a></p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Omar Ghanem</p> <p> </p> <p>btw this is one of our videos</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUZRmPv9Fdw">Owls stuck in a Tunnel!!!(A wildlife YT video)</a></p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/starting-a-filming-business-dont-know-where-to-start#post-56652 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 08:07:18 +0000 rakklub 56652@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi!  I need to start a filming business.  I have a name for the business, but not sure what to do.  How do I make a filming business for real.  Now my job or jobs that I have done, I film a hunt then make it into a video.  The hunter then pays for my services and in the end he/she will get a video of their experience.  So I am kind of a free lancer, I guess.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/outdoor-public-filming#post-56339 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:49:10 +0000 watertime 56339@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I attend a few outdoor public events that run thru out the summer out on the water. They tend to get a little wild (in a good way) and I always have the video cameras and other still cameras rolling when the beads start flying later in the afternoon(actually it is pretty easy to get volunteers for the film crew at these events).</p> <p>Up until now I cut the footage together with some party music and we usually get together in around this time of year for the "movie premiere" aka excuse to drink beer look at bikinis and dream about the warm weather.</p> <p>This year we took over a local bar and had 60 - 70 people there. </p> <p>Before this gets any bigger, what are the "rules" about filming public events and what can and can not be used. Up till now I have not sold any of the DVD's but as this event gets bigger it is starting to get expensive and would like to recoup some of the costs </p> <p>Any thoughts?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/filming-full-speed-racing-atv-racing#post-42762 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 14:52:04 +0000 wcollum 42762@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Let me begin by saying that I am a new to the whole camcorder scene. I am wanting to get into filming quads and try to make my own video.  I am currently a rider and I would like to know what a good camera would be.  I am looking for a good clear picture.  The sound isn't a big issue since most to all atv racing videos use music instead of sound.  Although, price is a issue I would like to know the best bang for the buck.  I would like to keep it around $1000 or less if possible.  I wouldn't mind useing used equipment as long as its in good condition.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/become-a-travel-videographer-and-film-holidays-and-resorts#post-36112 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:38:31 +0000 FilmingHolidays 36112@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am in the process of building a network of people creating videos for the tourism industry, so they can finance their passion for film and travel. I'm also hoping as more people do this it will eventually become the standard for tourism companies in the same way websites have become the norm, and that means income for people like us, who love travel and film. </p> <p>That's why I wrote a manual so people can become familiar with tourism marketing and producing effective promotional holiday videos that sell more holidays, and all of the elements and the structure of promo videos.</p> <p>After reading the manual you may then want to create a couple of videos using local operators and accommodations and once you have a couple of sample videos and a showreel for tourism we may then list you on our database for tourism companies and will endeavor to send some work your way or you can start contacting tourism companies yourself  as I have also included a section on how to sell to companies and a list of contacts for interested companies.</p> <p>Please have a look at <a href="http://www.filmingholidays.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.filmingholidays.com</a> for more information and let me know what your thoughts are.</p> <p>thanks</p> <p>tom</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/producing-royalty-free-footage#post-35662 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:27:30 +0000 cameraguy01 35662@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi, I'm new to videomaker and I am trying to break into the field.
