It's been a long time since I've been active on videomaker, but I want to get back in.  I'd love it if anyone would take the time to watch and/or critique this short film my team and I recently finished. I was the Director of Photography, among other things. It is a science fiction short set in a dystopian alternate future - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMdnKqHrgdo</p> <p>We used 2 cameras, a Panasonic HMC-150, and a Canon T2i was used for the close up shots during the main sequence. </p> <p>Any feedback you can offer is appreciated!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-camcorder-best-for-music-video-not-above-2000#post-69394 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 18:36:50 +0000 ophelia 69394@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thanks Onehorn.  I remembered this (replacing audio) _after_ I posted.  Thanks for the additional info also.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-camcorder-best-for-music-video-not-above-2000#post-69386 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:27:48 +0000 onehorn 69386@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>OK I use a fly-cam for motion shots. It is an inexpensive "made in India" rig, but it works OK. Getting the balance right takes a bit of practice. If you go with the XA-10 I'd recommend a Glide-Cam HD-2000.There are several good steady-cam like rigs available, and you can even make one yourself if you are handy that way.</p> <p>For audio capture for music videos I just an Audio Technica stereo shotgun mic attached either to the camcorders hot shoe, or to a camera handle that I use a lot.</p> <p> </p> <p>Remember that you will not actually use the music or most sound captured during the shoot, as you replace that music with music from the artist or bands CD. We use a large boom box to play back the music from the CD and have the artist or band sing a long with the CD. (not lip-synch but actually sing and or play along) That makes it easier to synch up with the CD audio in post</p> <p>When working live performances I get an audio feed from the mixing console and feed that to a tripod mounted camera near the Front of House mix position. I sometimes use a live mic to capture audience sounds when I want them and mix that with the audio from the console. I just use the on camera mic to capture audio for the close-up camera as that is just used for synch purposes and is nto used in the final product.</p> <p>But sometimes you do want some captured sound. There are a couple ways to handle that. For the music video I posted  here I just used the stereo shotgun mic and captured the audio of the little girl and her mom and the door shutting, and also the walking in gravel sound at the end. But those sounds were done as separate takes, but we used the camcorder to capture the audio, and pasted the audio in during post.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-camcorder-best-for-music-video-not-above-2000#post-69351 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 15:50:24 +0000 ophelia 69351@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> @ Onehorn: given that the Canons you shot with are on the small side - what did you use for steadicam?  Audio capture?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-camcorder-best-for-music-video-not-above-2000#post-69342 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 12:14:16 +0000 Raian Vo 69342@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>DSLR is the wave of the future, so I would suggest Canon 60D($1,000), Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 ($450), Glidecam 2000 HD $300 if you want stabilizer and nice flying like shots, tripod at least $150, custom make your own slider, rigs, dolly, and etc. You should have it for under $2000. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-camcorder-best-for-music-video-not-above-2000#post-69261 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 12:13:36 +0000 Kaef Black 69261@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Canon T2i with some good lenses.

I suggest you get on the backorder list at <a href="http://www.adorama.com/CAXA10.html?kbid=66297">Adorama</a>. They don't charge your card until they ship. Or, if you can't wait, you can pay $250 more and get one right now from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-XA10-Professional-Camcorder-Internal/dp/B004HW7DY8?tag=battleforthew-20">Amazon</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p>Good luck,</p> <p>Bill</p> <p><a href="http://hybridcamerarevolution.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://hybridcamerarevolution.blogspot.com</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-camcorder-best-for-music-video-not-above-2000#post-69219 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 23:05:20 +0000 onehorn 69219@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Best is a relative term. I have shot several music videos using just a Canon HV20 and HV30. These are inexpensive HDV cameras that use MiniDV tape. I edit in SONY Vegas Pro due to its excellent audio capabilities. Nut then we bought our cameras 3 years ago and a lot has changed since.</p> <p> </p> <p>What you need to think about is the resolution you want. These day's I'd go with a camera that can shoot 1920 X 1080 in 24p native. Also consider the availability of add-ons such as wide angle lens, filters, lens hoods etc as these all are important for music videos. I use a Raynox HD 6600 pro wide angle lens and I am quite happy with it.</p> <p>I'd take a look at the Canon G10 which is more of a prosumer camcorder at around $1,500... or better yet the Canon XA10 which is an entry level pro camera at around the $2,000 mark.  Just remember that you will probably want some additional items for yoru rig and that will add to the cost.</p> <p>You can see a music video shot with the Canon HV20 here: <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/1537564" rel="nofollow">http://www.vimeo.com/1537564</a> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-camcorder-best-for-music-video-not-above-2000#post-69197 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 15:26:35 +0000 adeoye 69197@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>hello,am a musician also a film editor i need a camcorder best for music video within this price rage $2000.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/royalty-free-music-for-indie-films-038-more#post-65847 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 03:51:10 +0000 birdcat 65847@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>AS Craig states, Sonic Fire Pro IS really good - I use it whenever I need exact lengths (to about the second) of really nice assortments of music - They run specials every now and again (like 5 discs of about 8-10 songs each for $100) which make it affordable for everyone (including me).  I also love the new scoring edition of the software - Gives me a LOT of control in how the music flows. </p> <p>Also good was CineScore from Sony - They pulled it (couldn't or wouldn't compete with SmartSound) from the market but I have seen copies of it on eBay - I liked the control it gave (like Sonic Fire Pro) but the music was not nearly as varied or abundant as SmartSound's, albeit I think their interface gave me more control plus it works as a plug-in with Vegas.</p> <p>I also love Digital Juice's StackTraxx series - They are no longer sold (they might make return special appearances but you'd have to check the website regularly) - Their newer music offerings - MusicBox - are good as well.</p> <p>There are many other options for RF music as well - A search of these forums will produce many threads with dozens of websites (some good, some awful) with price points ranging from free to hundreds of dollars. Best bet would be to look at as many of them as you can and listen to what they offer and note the price - Then purchase what you a) like and b) can afford.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/royalty-free-music-for-indie-films-038-more#post-65833 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 15:26:18 +0000 Craig 65833@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>SmartSound's patented soundtrack solution is hands-down the best way to<br /> add <a href="http://www.smartsound.com/sonicfire/royalty-free-music.html">royalty free music</a> to your films and videos.
