I'm new to the forums, but i've been a subscriber of Videomaker magazine since 04'. Love it!</p> <p>I just recently got into wedding videography and shot my first wedding last weekend. I offerend to shoot the wedding pro-bono in exchange for gas money, gratuity and referrals. Everything went well with the wedding shoot and I updated the couple that an edited copy of the video will be given to them within 4-8 weeks. They're very excited for the video but they asked, in addition to the edited copy, for the original raw footage. I'm not sure how to handle this situation. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think it would be fair to just hand over the footage for free. In our original chats before the wedding I never indicated, nor did they, that I would give them the raw footage. Im just not sure what to do in this type of situation, especially since the only thing I was compensated for was gas.</p> <p>Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/shooting-stock-footage-in-galapagos#post-67246 Fri, 15 Apr 2011 18:33:31 +0000 chrisbarnard 67246@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I'm off to the Galapagos in June. I went there 22 years ago when I was 12 years old and it was unbelievable. The animals are all unafraid of humans so you can get within touching distance of them. It would be the most amazing place to get stock footage that I could sell. I see SD clips of animals shot there (sealions, iguanas, finches, frigates, etc etc) selling for US$199 on stock footage sites, so I figure I can take some time out to get some footage. Problem is that the regular tours are tightly controlled (time of stay on each island, close supervision etc). Does anyone have any experience of shooting there? Does anyone know what sort of footage (types of animals etc) sells the best?</p> <p>Any thoughts on this would be massively appreciated!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Chris</p> <p> </p> <p>I shoot with Sony Z5's so I will take one of those along.Â</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/completely-free-stock-videos#post-64883 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 06:26:48 +0000 obstakl 64883@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Guys,</p> <p>We've launched a blog site that contains free stock footages, we are uploading videos everyday..</p> <p>If you like to visit and download our clips, here is the link.</p> <p><a href="http://onlinestockvideo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://onlinestockvideo.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>Cheers! </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-grainy-video#post-62983 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 23:19:59 +0000 pramsey 62983@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I recently bought the HDR FX7 and it is great except even in 1080i I still can get grainy footage at times.

He give a pretty good demo on using native DSLR footage in the Premiere CS5 timeline with the Mercury Playback Engine. One thing that came up during the Shootout was that after transcoding H.264 video to ProRes or Cineform codecs, DSLR footage becomes so much easier to work with and color-grade. The point came up then if that's the case, what's the 'big deal' about editing DSLR footage natively in CS5? Well, other than not having to go through all of that transcoding up front and saving it for final render, I can't think of anything else off hand. Anybody got any ideas?

This is mostly because my strengths are in Cinematography, but unfortunately to make a living these days I need to put on a producer hat most of the time and... well that's not my strength at all. So I was hoping to get some feedback on a recent problem I had...</p> <p>My most recent project was a music video (still editing). From the start, I had my client sign a contract agreement regarding prices, and deadlines and whatnot. My director and I sat and talked to him for a few hours about the look and message of the video, and what he wanted to accomplish, the equipment we'd like to use... everything we could think of in order to ensure we were on the same page. We then wrote a treatment, describing in detail how the video will be edited in its finished form, and after three revisions, it was approved. We also did this with our schedule and budget, all were approved.</p> <p>After shooting the project, we edited a first cut, color corrected, and added in rough visual effects. We showed the client and he gave us a LONG list of changes, very specific ones including time code (which was helpful, I admit, but I couldn't help but feel a bit smothered). A lot of his decisions ended up entirely changing the project from its original treatment which we agreed upon.</p> <p>After having a long discussion with him, it's now become clear that he originally was looking for more of a political video than your standard rock video with performance shots... which was really the bulk of what we recorded! We're now stuck with having him send us a package of stock footage, and he's having us replace the shots that we recorded on location with shots he found in a documentary... which is kind of painful to do to work you spent hours composing in the field!</p> <p>I'm sure it's not a matter of the video quality being poor. He even said it himself that we did a fantastic job with what we shot, but he's not happy with the video's message...</p> <p>So, my fellow videomakers... I'm curious, how can this issue be avoided in the future? Was it my fault for not getting this out of him before hand? Should I be more specific in my contract about creative control? Or is this normal and I should just learn to expect it?</p> <p>Thanks</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ppro-cs3-stops-playing-when-application-window-is-inactive#post-42994 Sat, 10 Jan 2009 16:37:26 +0000 WarLightUK 42994@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>When I am working on a project, I sometimes need to open other applications, go to other folders or simply have a webpage up on my second monitor and read stuff while expecting PPro to keep playing.

We are currently producing a segment entitled "How to defuse a bomb," in which we compare and contrast how bombs are defused in real life and in the movies, and a segment entitled "World's most dangerous fish" in which we compare the giant snakehead to other fish that are capable of killing humans. I am writing to see if any Videomaker members might have the following footage available to license to us:</p> <p>Giant snakeheads in the wild, underwater, "walking" on land, fighting while being pulled into a boat by fishermen, close-ups showing its scary teeth, etc. Basically we are looking for anything that visually tells the story of how nasty the giant snakehead really is.</p> <p>Close-up views of guy in bomb squad suit working on bomb by hand, people using remote controls to operate bomb robots, bomb robot using robotic arm to defuse/shoot/blow up bomb, bombs being blown up, either in open or in containment barrels, and any other footage with lots of gadgets or gizmos used to defuse a bomb, and people using them. We are of course prepared to pay a reasonable fee to license the footage (usually around $20 per second of footage actually used in the show.) Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, and as we are on deadline for the end of this week (Friday June 6tth) I would appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience!
