My only issue is whether security will confiscate my video stabilizer, see here: <a href="http://opteka.com/svex.aspx" rel="nofollow">opteka.com/svex.aspx</a> and a small tripod. <br />One of the airlines said there would be no problem as long as it fits in case, but my fear lies with security.</p> <p>Does anyone have any experience carrying stabilissers/tripods on a plane and/or know anything about the security at any of the airports above?</p> <p>Any help would be much appreciated!</p> <p>Helena</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/web-tv-follow-a-six-month-trip-in-asia#post-70195 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 08:06:40 +0000 florian 70195@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>My name is Florian, I'm 21, I'm new here and I'm am found of video (from<br /> shooting to editing).

Having done a fair bit of traveling around 'The Rock' as both a Still and Video Shooter, I fully agree with Mitchell's observations (having run afoul of a couple of them myself) and feel the info applies to shooting video at a higher degree. The prep work required for video is much greater than photography. In spite of the 'YouTube' mindset of 'just shoot it', when you're taking the time to travel and investing in gear to record your journey the diff between 'Tube' video and 'great' video will depend on the extra time and steps you took to prepare. Check it out.</p> <p><a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/travel-photography-mistakes">5 Common Mistakes Aspiring Travel Shooters Make</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/shooting-in-public-rights-to-shoot#post-48602 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 09:35:38 +0000 peachydingo 48602@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello All,</p> <p>I was shooting stills at a beach here in South Florida recently. I was on a deck shooting pans across the whole beach, which consisted of a lot of young people, both girls and guys, playing volleyball, sunning, surfing, etc. The water and light were perfect, and the colors were just amazing.</p> <p>About 5 minutes into it, a middle aged woman (in a bikini way too small for her, I might add) came storming up onto the deck, cursing me, calling me a pervert, and shouting all kinds of epithets at me- I thought she might turn violent. Where is a cop when you need one?  Anyway, I calmly told her I had a right to be there, and even offered to show here the photos on my SLR screen, if it would make her feel better- of course I had no obligation to do that, but I was taken off guard by her attack. After she felt like she had berated me enough, she returned to her blanket, packed up and left. But I was NOT leaving, not like that.</p> <p>Her reasoning was that I had no right to be taking photos of people in a public place. I told her she was incorrect- and later found out that the entire beach and the exact place she had been sitting are on a <strong>city sanctioned webcam!</strong></p> <p>Owing to the fact that it is a public beach, covered by a webcam, and I was not using these photos for any commercial purpose, who is in the right here? Was she just jealous of all the younger women on the beach? Is this a case of my civil liberties being violated?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/please-critique-my-two-videos-need-your-advice#post-39260 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:16:16 +0000 barbaralaketahoe 39260@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>PLEASE CRITIQUE MY TWO VIDEOS. <strong>I just found this forum last night, and am new to video making.

I'm also hoping as more people do this it will eventually become the standard for tourism companies in the same way websites have become the norm, and that means income for people like us, who love travel and film. </p> <p>That's why I wrote a manual so people can become familiar with tourism marketing and producing effective promotional holiday videos that sell more holidays, and all of the elements and the structure of promo videos.</p> <p>After reading the manual you may then want to create a couple of videos using local operators and accommodations and once you have a couple of sample videos and a showreel for tourism we may then list you on our database for tourism companies and will endeavor to send some work your way or you can start contacting tourism companies yourself  as I have also included a section on how to sell to companies and a list of contacts for interested companies.</p> <p>Please have a look at <a href="http://www.filmingholidays.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.filmingholidays.com</a> for more information and let me know what your thoughts are.</p> <p>thanks</p> <p>tom</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/interested-in-becoming-a-travel-videographer#post-36048 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 06:00:15 +0000 FilmingHolidays 36048@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've been filming holidays for 3 years and I absolutely love it, it's always different and exciting, you meet great people and it's very creative work. After people kept asking me how to do my job I decided to share my secrets with people who are also passionate about travel. </p> <p>I've financed all of my trips in Europe, Africa and Australia this way and got to go on safaris, trekking tours, adventure holidays, camping trips, stayed in hotels and resorts and all while being paid to film and edit. You can view my videos on <a href="http://www.authenticholidayfilms.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.authenticholidayfilms.com</a>.</p> <p>Creating promotional video for the tourism industry is a market in its infancy, given that only a minority of businesses use video so far, despite the obvious benefits of making holidays more tangible. I would like to make tourism videos the standard, in the same way websites have become the standard for most businesses. For that reason I would really like to see more people filming and selling holiday videos.</p> <p>Let me know if you are interested in creating promotional holiday videos for the tourism industry or visit <a href="http://www.filmingholidays.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.filmingholidays.com</a> for more information.  </p>
