Long as you credit him he's okay with it, so I've used his music a ton, because it's really good.</p> <p> </p> <p>EarlC, I'll try to put together a little video on how I did this. It really wasn't very difficult.  </p> <p>Thanks again for all the feedback!</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-video-profile-yes-i-am-a-shaggy-dork#post-57347 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 03:29:28 +0000 birdcat 57347@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Very impressive.</p> <p>Only one point and it is very touchy - Some corporate folks might be turned off by your final credit to Bradsucks.com - Not the music, just the name.  Some folks are very sensitive to image presented - For example, I was advised by a business associate to NOT use my birdcat.com email (my personal address since the 1995) for working with a major client of mine as it did not seem professional enough for what I was doing, so I got another domain (two actually - one for IT, one for video) for my professional persona.</p> <p>However, the video was stellar!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-video-profile-yes-i-am-a-shaggy-dork#post-57330 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 15:29:32 +0000 jeremiahjw 57330@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Wow, that was AWESOME! As far as the white background goes, you scored a perfect 100%. It's done very well. </p> <p>I liked the overall style, especially the way you positioned your talking head throughout the video. It made me want to watch your other videos, which I would, if my internet wasn't so slow at the moment. :-)</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-video-profile-yes-i-am-a-shaggy-dork#post-57317 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 08:18:02 +0000 composite1 57317@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Dude I thought you were the guy from 'Anthrax' at first!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-video-profile-yes-i-am-a-shaggy-dork#post-57314 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 06:54:52 +0000 robGRAUERT 57314@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Good job.</p> <p>Some spots have jarring audio though. It's jarring at :20, :26, :56, and when you cut to the "Thanks for watching" soundbite at the end. </p> <p>Also, the dialog at :56 sounds like it says, "feel free to contact me 360-570-0512...." I feel like you forgot the word "at" before you provide the phone number.</p> <p>Good job overall though. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-video-profile-yes-i-am-a-shaggy-dork#post-57303 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 21:00:26 +0000 daryldrj 57303@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Nice Job that's all I can say</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-video-profile-yes-i-am-a-shaggy-dork#post-57300 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 17:22:14 +0000 EarlC 57300@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey Kenzo. If it needs something, I'm unable to figure out what that might be. Excellent promotional video for your production company. Concise, clear, great timing and excellent quality production samples.</p> <p>OK, the ONLY thing I would comment on as something you might like to avoid if at all possible, or even redo is the segment where your eyes are bouncing around a lot. In all the other you are direct and exuding confidence, enthusiasm and knowledge, but the ping-pong eyes did not reflect that very well.</p> <p>Production wise, outstanding. I personally would LOVE it if you shared a "This is how I did that, and what I did it with" article, blog or response here. Thanks for sharing, Earl.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-video-profile-yes-i-am-a-shaggy-dork#post-57297 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 14:13:39 +0000 pseudosafari 57297@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Kudos to you for goin' for it with the bank.  I hope to exhibit similar courage some day.  (But I got a ways to go on my skils first.)</p> <p>My thoughts, for what they're worth:</p> <p>The white field is about as good as it gets.  I've seen some that look less than good--yours looks top notch.  Transitions were spot-on.  You didn't overdo them but you didn't under-do them, either.  Lighting was great.  Every segment was high grade footage.  The whole thing was about the best HD I've ever seen on a Youtube video.  Overall, it was about as good as it gets!  Anyone put off by "shaggy dorks" is easily brought back by the quality of the production, that's for sure.</p> <p>The only thing I'd suggest is mentioning the web site a bit more or putting the address on screen more or longer.  I've seen the clip twice now and can't remember the site (I've visited it before, but as a new viewer it might matter--you never know).</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-video-profile-yes-i-am-a-shaggy-dork#post-57296 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 13:49:18 +0000 composite1 57296@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Kenzo,</p> <p>Nice.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-video-profile-yes-i-am-a-shaggy-dork#post-57295 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 12:02:14 +0000 KenzoFKC 57295@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Heh, well, there is a story - I'm in talks right now to shoot an identity theft awareness video for a large bank.  I suggested we shoot the video in the white-field "mac vs pc" style.  I was honest with them, told them I had never done it before, but I was sure that I could.  They like the idea, but had skepticism that I could do it.  So I set this shoot up just to prove to myself, and to them that I could.  Once I had it set up, I figured I might as well take the opportunity to create a video profile for myself and my business.  This is what I ended up with.  Thoughts?  I'd love to hear them.  Thanks!</p> <p> </p> <p> &lt;meta charset="utf-8" /&gt;<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SCwu2CrZ2k">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SCwu2CrZ2k</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/broken-links-on-forum#post-52734 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:45:12 +0000 Anonymous 52734@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks for the feedback.

The level is extremely low.  In short my experience with Beachteks is that they are good - for throwing away.   Then the 1/8 mini audio input on the VX 2100 isn't very robust.  I am expecting trouble with it. As a pro you need XLR inputs. So I would say: buy the XL2.  I have read that it is good in low light.  It has XLR and it's Canon.  Don't worry about the weight.  I have never been a muscular guy and I used to run with an Arriflex 35, with a loaded 400 ft magazine!   But, having said all that, instead of buying a standard def camera at this stage, why not jump into Hi Def?  If you're the serious videographer I think you are, you will have to go the Hi Def way, sooner or later.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/wich-ones-better-sonyvx2100-panasonicdvx100b-or-canonxl2#post-36104 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 09:46:45 +0000 robGRAUERT 36104@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>The DVX and XL offer more manual options than the VX I believe, at least with image adjustments. But the VX is really good in low light situations...like the reception. I'd go with the DVX over the XL. I think the XL is a pain in the ass, and doesn't really offer that much more even though it's priced higher. If you want interchangeable lenses, then go with the XL, but if not, DVX is the way to go. </p> <p>So some things to think about are:</p> <p>Is low light an issue?</p> <p>Do you need interchangeable lenses?</p> <p>Do you mind lugging around a large camera like the XL?</p> <p>What about sound? The DVX and XL have XLR inputs, which with the VX, you'll have to buy an adapter like the BeachTek thing.</p> <p>Do you want HD? You can shoot in HD and down convert to SD. It makes for really nice SD. Then you can offer HD videos and SD videos. That might open yourself up to more people. (neither of those 3 cameras shoot HD)</p> <p>Hopefully I was helpful, if not...feel free to ask more questions.  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/wich-ones-better-sonyvx2100-panasonicdvx100b-or-canonxl2#post-36103 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 09:19:28 +0000 Djasir 36103@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Â I'm a videographer from Indonesia and really need a others opinion about the 3 best seller cameras in my town. It's SonyVX2100, Panasonic DVX100B and Canon XL2. I want to buy one of those cameras for producing wedding video, music video clip and a company profile.</p> <p>I also have my project edit by myself.
