After some more experience/research, I'd consider getting the HF-S10 (a better HD camcorder) that is greatly worth its price for a couple of hundred more than the HV30.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/advice-for-new-business#post-52760 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:29:33 +0000 composite1 52760@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Nick,</p> <p>The ultimate question is; who are your clients? Believe it or not, many, many people still haven't jumped on the Blu-Ray wagon and are still quite happy with DVD. To shoot video intended for DVD you don't need to use HD to do so. Many cameras offer the options of shooting 16 x 9 video by which you can letterbox in post that will play well in either 4x3 or widescreen tv settings.</p> <p>Now, the reality is everything is heading towards HD. What most pros are currently doing is shooting in HD and downcoverting to SD. That way you cover your client's current needs and you have an archival version in HD. Many NLE software now allow you to drop SD video into an HD video timeline. There are tweaks that have to be made, but the SD footage will not be converted to HD!</p> <p>You sound like you need to do a lot more research before starting your biz. My suggestion would be to start out freelancing these gigs to get a feel for how this stuff gets done before your fork over the money needed to start a biz. You will find lots of good advice and tips in the 'Making Money' forums here on VM that will go into greater depth on starting your business than I plan on now.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/advice-for-new-business#post-52758 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:15:32 +0000 Nick M 52758@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> </p> <p>I'm about to start a small video business. I know times are hard but if I can make it happen now... I have been offered some corporate work shooting sporting days at a kart race track. As I am new to this as a business could I ask for suggestions regarding the following? I realise quality is an issue, but I am concerned over the massive size of HD files compared to SD. I will be giving my work out on DVD therefore is HD neccessary? I am a big fan of HD, but will the added investment of HD cameras (I'm thinking three Canon HV30's) and probably a serious upgrade to my current PC be worth it? I know HV30's can shoot standard def so they could still be an option with room to go HD later. Another question is regarding mixing SD and HD. If I shoot trackside with HD and say use a helmet cam on one of the drivers in SD, will the difference be acceptable on the final edit? Likewise if due to cost I used an SD/HD mix trackside, how would that look? Finally, I'm trying to cost out the business for my business plan and although I will be at the track for say 2-3 hours, I don't know how long the whole job will take with editing, rendering etc so I'm struggling to come up with an hourly rate! The actual race that I will be shooting will only last about 13 minutes and I will probably have four cameras covering this. Sorry if these are dumb questions!</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/filming-full-speed-racing-atv-racing#post-42809 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:06:19 +0000 RockstarRider 42809@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>yeah  the GL2 is going to do great recording quad racing...have heard a lot of good stuff about it..</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/filming-full-speed-racing-atv-racing#post-42783 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 16:13:40 +0000 EarlC 42783@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>GL2 is a GREAT standard definition camera, decent sound from in-cam mic, but I do often use a shotgun mic, and it is capable of producing 16x9 widescreen and GREAT glass (lens), plus the noted Canon image stabilization.</p> <p>I seriously doubt, used or otherwise, you'll find one in decent shape and with accessories for $1K - these puppies are still selling for high dollar most places and only someone looking to offload a overworked one, or in desperate need of money is going to let his/hers go for less than $1.5K. The resale value of these cameras remains high.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/filming-full-speed-racing-atv-racing#post-42764 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 16:29:43 +0000 jjkrol0601 42764@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I agree with with rob for that pricerange a canon gl2 is probably your best bet i have researched them and they have good quality although not hd. the stock mic on it has pretty good crisp audio.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/filming-full-speed-racing-atv-racing#post-42763 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 15:08:08 +0000 robGRAUERT 42763@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> When I first got into video, I got a Canon GL2. Shoots a great image outdoors. You should be able to find a used one with accessories for $1000 or less. </p> <p> If you buy a used one, always buy it in person to make sure the equipment is working properly.  </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>
