He has been having insanely bad crashing issues, and claims there is no pattern to them. He just bought a brand new, radiator-cooled video card (and computer) because the old one wasn't up to par. When he got his new computer, I went to help him open his project up because Vegas crashed every time he tried to reconnect some missing photos. I don't know what I did differently than him, but it did not crash for me the whole night. He has used the program before successfully, and I don't know the first thing about it. Does anyone out there have ANY ideas?

Next, you should have someone who's an expert on the topic from the school to write the outline of what is to be taught. Once written, it will fall upon you to 'clean up' the outline and turn it into narration or an on-camera script. Make simple storyboards (stick figures are fine if that's the best you can do) in order give your client a working look at the concepts. Doing so will allow you to streamline your shot list and build client confidence in what to expect.</p> <p>Contract wise, that's a pretty big question but at it's basic level put in only what you are capable of doing at the price you propose. Schools like churches have a nasty habit of pushing for far more than they pay for. Don't get in too deep just because you want to help. It will lead you to trouble. Keep it simple and put everything in writing is the safest bet.</p> <p>Lastly, use as much of the local assets as possible (i.e. staff, teachers, students) to cut down on the cost of talent. The school will need parental consent forms for the students to appear in the video. That will apply to any students you use directly as onscreen talent. They should already have a blanket release covering students in crowds as they no doubt film their sports competitions, etc. Confirm all that stuff before you shoot a frame of video.</p> <p>Lastly, the hardest part will be getting paid. Unless it's a privately funded school, it will most likely come down to you submitting a proposal and bid. You may end up having to wait for the school to go through the open bidding process. If someone comes up with a lower bid, you may lose the gig altogether. Should you get the gig, you may have to wait a considerable amount of time just to get paid. You can put in the terms of your proposal a payment schedule, but you'll probably have to sign one of their contracts and go off their payment schedule whenever that may be.</p> <p>You can do deals with public/government organizations, but often it will be on their terms and schedules. Best to get all that out in the open and negotiated before you get too involved in the project.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/making-an-informational-video-what-to-prepare-for#post-74301 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:59:44 +0000 Stephen Pickering 74301@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>I have done lots of weddings and web-videos (talking heads), so I'm not new to video production, but I have recently been asked to help put together an informational video for a school.  We're doing this at a very low cost for them so I would like to be as prepared as I can be in pre-prodcution so I can deliver a great product with minimal production/editing time.</p> <p>It will only be a 3 minute video with a few talking heads and some action b-roll shots.  It's basically going to be used on their website to quickly bring some of the school's highlights to the viewer's attention.  The point is to sell this school as a great place to send your kids.</p> <p>I understand this may be an "everyone does it differently" answered question, but because I've never done this I would some insight into pre-production workflows.</p> <p>Are there pre-production documents that I could use to assist my working with the client in piecing this together?  Anything you've learned the hard-way (even contract-wise) which I could learn from you?</p> <p>Thanks for any advise!</p> <p>-Stephen</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/studio-reno-need-some-suggestions#post-74196 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:54:20 +0000 Shawn Speller 74196@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey all,</p> <p>I am new here, and fairly new to the business.

As interest and potential clients begin to build, freelancing will give you a clear indication if this is what you really want to do full time.</p> <p>Earl's correct in that if you can, link up with someone who does this as their day job. Whether they are crazy successful or just crazy, you can learn what to do and what not from their example. When you think you're ready to work in production full-time, be prepared to jump into the shark tank. We've all said it here many times and will say so many more; starting a business is not for the fainthearted, half-assed or marginally interested. </p> <p>Running a biz is all day, everyday. All the things you take for granted as an employee (days off, paid vacay's, etc.) go away a warp speed when you start up. You also better love doing what you do because there is far more about running a biz that sucks than what is cool. You'll have to come to terms that the few and fleeting 'cool things' must outweigh the 'suckage' or you won't be in business long!</p> <p>The good thing about you having gone to filmschool is the tech side is one less thing you have to learn about. Learning how to run a biz is going to be enough of a heavy lift without adding having to learn the tech from scratch!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-business-help#post-74116 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:34:32 +0000 EarlC 74116@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>There's a LOT to be said for going into the business, jumping in and getting your feet wet, so to speak, especially if you've received some degree of education on the application and skills of film/video production. Nothing teaches better than working with a professional in some capacity, or even taking on some personal risks yourself. It has been said that those who can't, teach. That is not entirely an accurate indictment but it's not totally off the wall either.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-business-help#post-74114 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:39:24 +0000 franko 74114@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks Vid-e-o-man. I have always loved videomaker FOR the business tips, as well as its focus on video technology. As both are something we never really studied, just had to research on our own. In the intro to production class, we DID watch videomaker published dvd's. And wish they would use some of its sources on the business side.</p> <p>I am probably gonna go back to the university, since im an alum now, and ask about any non degree courses they may offer on business management, it DOES have a business school. </p> <p>I am deff gonna look up your suggestion of business of video on here. That is gonna be a huge help i imagine.</p> <p>Marketing wise, im generally set. I took Intro to marketing for non majors as an elective. Which was a wise decision on my part. To take classes that pertain to my industry, but others in my study are not forced to take. I chose to take that one just to add some good bloat to my resume. I am not a pro at it. but, I think based on the small venture I am perusing, in such a small community. i should be fine.</p> <p>Thanks for the tips!</p> <p>ps. I imagine most would have to look up semiotics. I studied it in film theory, which for media arts majors is a 400 level class. Semiotics is dry as hell lol, one of the many things that i learned about, and will probably never use other then to talk film theory with my film nerd friends lol.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/requesting-feedback#post-74088 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:40:30 +0000 Kenkyusha 74088@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>The Trailer for Feline- great premise, good use of sound FX and framing of some of your shots (e.g. your main character drinking from the glass with the kitten calendar on the wall).&nbsp;&nbsp;To my eye, the thing that needs most work&nbsp;is lighting (there were a bunch of dark and undefined images in Feline and Three Guys on a Couch).&nbsp; That and the sound was blown-out in '3 Guys'.</p> <p>HTH.</p> <p>*Final nitpick, the Feline trailer has a billed time of over 4:00 despite the actual runtime- whatever upload issue you may have had, a newer one with accurate time would be better.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/requesting-feedback#post-74087 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 05:47:40 +0000 C.D.P 74087@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi, if you could take a moment to check out our work and offer some advice, I'd be very grateful.

Perhaps&nbsp;some business/enterprise courses should be required for any course of study which will end in a business environment. If you research the&nbsp;business of video on this site you will find many threads about pricing, marketing, etc. I remember a thread on the very subject you mentioned- real estate videos. Posters with real life experience in this left some excellent comments. As far as marketing video, we are lucky to have a contributer, EarlC, who has given all of us some sage advice on this aspect. This is a great place to find information about all phases of this industry.</p> <p>My advice for you would be similar to composite1's build up a video resume to show to any prospective client. Showing a&nbsp;wide variety of your work,&nbsp;real&nbsp;estate, weddings,&nbsp;birthday parties, sports events, memorials, etc. will showcase your talent and expertise. Shoot, shoot, shoot. Get lots of practice, shoot lots of different projects (paying or not)&nbsp;and as you develop your highlight reel, your confidence in your abilities will blossom.This confidence helps you market yourself, getting jobs and the pay rate that's appropriate. Keep shooting.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-business-help#post-74068 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:37:42 +0000 franko 74068@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks so much for the help! I am gonna start looking into it. i have a day job, at nights. so that is doing fine for bringing in the cash, but i wanna venture out to more things of my field. so i can start that research and see where it takes me. thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-business-help#post-74058 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 04:45:22 +0000 composite1 74058@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Franko,</p> <p>Unfortunately, that's the drawback about going to filmschool or getting a degree in broadcast comm's. Universities are not mandated to teach the practical side if they want to keep their accreditation. So they only teach the theoretical side. If you're lucky, there will be classes which deal specifically with producing or self-study where you can research the business side on your own. If you're luckier, you'll have instructors who know it's BS not to hit you with some practical aspects and they'll jam in much as they can.</p> <p>So in the meantime, you're first going to have to learn what it's going to take to start a small business even if you will start out as a freelancer. You can do that by getting with your local SBA (small business administration) office and they'll break down the info you'll need to research. Also, tap self-help books like 'The Idiot's Guide to Starting a Business'. Lots of great info translated into English on the steps to start up.</p> <p>In the meantime, continue your research. You may find out there isn't a need or desire for the services you wish to offer. Problem is these days with digital cameras so readily available and easy to use, everybody figures they can save money by shooting stuff themselves. Your task will be to show them what the sales impact could be by hiring your professional service instead of them 'happy snapping' their potential products. You'll have to convince them with your work that the money spent on you will translate to sales that make the investment worth it.</p> <p>That's tough to do. You won't just be able to walk in, pitch your idea and get the gig. You'll need sample shots, referrals from other realtors and a basic gear kit to do a good job. To get that, you probably will have to connect with agents and slog it out with their BS, until you can build a reputation for doing good work. Remember, you're going to have to make a living while building up what you'll need.</p> <p>It's going to take time, but if you do the research and build your portfolio/reel, you'll be able to take advantage of good opportunities as they come.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-business-help#post-74047 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:00:18 +0000 franko 74047@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Greetings. I have been looking for ways to make money with the video skills I learned in college. I came to the conclusion that I could easily shoot real estate photos and videos for agents in the small community I live in. (I will be getting a Canon D7 in the coming months, so would use that.)</p> <p>The idea is, going to the major real estate firms out here, I think its only 2. Going to them with the option to contract me as there video/photo guy. Instead of connecting with the countless agents, and working for them. Connecting with the firms itself. so that when any of its many agents needs photos or video, the firm just says "we got a guy for that, we'll send him out tomorrow." </p> <p>Is this a somewhat good business plan for such a venture? And if so, how would I appropriately charge for such a service? a standard by the hour rate? Or on a per visit system? And what would be an appropriate cost for such work? I wanna make money, but I also wanna be competitively priced. I can debate semiotics in film, but was taught NOTHING about video business practices in college lol. So any comments or thoughts are welcomed.</p> <p>Thank you for your time.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-make-better-videos#post-73860 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:00:50 +0000 EarlC 73860@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>OK, the sample you'd like to be more like. Don't. Sorry, but after a minute I wanted to turn it off and comment. At 2:12 I'd had enough ... all I could take. WHY?</p> <p>Centered, straight on angle. Boring. Too much space and the reflective water caused some lighting issues as well with this one. I think the single most effective thing THIS VIDEO and yours could use is multiple shoots, repetitive performances, varying angles and POV, then using the new editing power Elements will provide you, cutting to keep some interest.</p> <p>I'd shoot tighter. Unless the background is a significant and participating point of the focus, it's NOT contributing to, but taking away from, the point of interest. In both cases, the talent. I liked your intro for your first attempt, but when you got into the production you got to it. No lag. The buildup for sample two was too long. Totally boring and nothing like the BIG PICTURE or "larger than life" description you led me to believe I'd perceive.</p> <p>Tight shots, varied angles, avoid backlighting, control the audio and you're going to have something that knocks the socks off your reference sample IMHO. What was cute in the second video was the obvious audio source being set, then placed on the block, but obviously the actual sound was recorded from a closer proximity in post. But nothing else about the second sample appealed to me to the extent your first effort did.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-make-better-videos#post-73859 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:57:51 +0000 Moab Man 73859@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>It looks like the wall is in focus and not the two of you during the introduction. The dance part is suffering from bad lighting. It's dark in front of you two girls, very bright behind you, too much activity seen through the window, and overall the light is just washing out your colors. The clothing colors blend too much with the surroundings. Looked at your other video and I would make all the same statements. To put it simply, you're not lighting your subject. The background is what's lit up.</p> <p>The video you like has plenty of lighting and the girl is wearing strong colors that really pop out against the background, although I couldn't stop my eye from being drawn to the completely out of place drink bottle in front of her.</p> <p>Just so you know, for what you're doing it's not a software issue. Windows Movie Maker will do everything you're doing so far. However, I would encourage you to learn the Adobe program so that once you get your lighting correct you can use the color adjustments to improve.</p> <p>What are the setting you're using, there is a lot of interlacing (when you're moving and your arm for example breaks up) showing up?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-make-better-videos#post-73858 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:51:28 +0000 EarlC 73858@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Ally &amp; Sally, for a first attempt the first example you shared in the links above was GREAT. I do understand what you mean when you say you want to be more satisfied with the final results and I think I can see what might help.</p> <p>BACKLIGHT ... your biggest problem with the dance in a diner sequence is the backlight from the window. You could, of course, set your iris to cut the vignetting, or add gels to the windows, but probably your best bet would be to try to find a position that does not include such a large swath of backlight to contend with. I perceive that the location you used might be a bit tight, providing little, if any, choice of positions away from the window. But the backlighting works against you here, instead of perhaps helping create GREAT lighting as a source from front or side.</p> <p>THE WINDOW ... camera POV, while interesting, and in addition to backlighting, also generates bit too much distraction with pedestrian and auto activity outside, taking attention away from your routine.</p> <p>Your music levels and audio levels are good, but you might consider doing the routine to the selection, then close recording (lip syncing). It appears you're using the audio from the on-camera mic. If I'm wrong, you still are too far away from the mic and need to address that for increased clarity.</p> <p>The last thing simply is to shoot more than one take from more than one angle and/or POV, giving you the opportunity to change angles and points of view in the editing and generate a more creative and interesting piece.</p> <p>All-in-all, ladies, you did a GREAT job and I very much enjoyed you sharing your creativity. I hope you'll find some of what I said useful and that you'll share more as you adjust your productions.</p> <p>When I view the video you'd LIKE to be more like. I'll see if I have anything more ton contribute. By all means, don't stop. This is way awesome!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-make-better-videos#post-73857 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:20:53 +0000 Ally & Sally 73857@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello!

I expect a good 2 hour battery to hold a charge for 1.5 (with display screen on). Are there recommended brands I ought to look for or just go for whatever fits the ol' vid-cam? (and, what brands should I stay away from) (can you say?)</p> <p>I'm filming my first wedding tomorrow (11-11-11 at 11:00am).
