We’re getting ready for some summertime fun with features to inspire video producers to get outdoors and shoot. I thought you might like a look behind the scenes at our car mounts photo shoot.
From car mounts to citizen journalists, shooting video is becoming more mobile and easier to share. This summer Videomaker has several features showing you how to take action and get in the video producing game.
This is our Art Director, Susan Schmierer taking a picture of the Matthews PRO Car Mount System that we’re reviewing for the July issue.
Assisting Susan with reflectors and scrims is our Associate Tech Editor, Jackson Wong, and local reviewer Adam Vesely.
Usually we just shoot a picture of the product we review with a neutral white background, but for this review we thought it would be fun to show it in action. 
So of course we had to get a cool car to shoot it with and there’s few cooler than a red Mini Cooper Countryman, courtesy of Adam Vesley.
The June issue is already finding it’s way into subscribers’ mailboxes and will be on sale at bookstores across the U.S. next week. We’re shipping the July issue, with the Matthews PRO Mount System reviewed, to the printer’s today… and it should be making it’s way to you by the end of June.
What else is in store for the summer time issues?
June has a 2-part series on your rights in public as a videographer – the first is on Citizen Journalism and how you can get your video on the news, and a second feature is on Copyright Registration, how to protect your copyrighted video once it’s “out there” in the Wild World of Web chaos.
We continue the look at your rights in public in the July issue with a continuing look at the very current actions in courts of ordinary citizens being arrested for recording public officials with our feature: Filming Police and Your First Amendment Rights. Are you protected?
Also, to continue look at protecting your assets, our August issue will have a feature on Watermarking your Video so you know when someone is using it online without your consent. Still shooters use watermarking tricks all the time, but how do video shooters do it? With metadata – we’ll show you how.
Finally, we’re looking at many ways you can profit with your video production, whether you are already in the video business or are a weekend hobbyist with our popular Profit Making column. June features profiting through the largely expanding Action and Extreme Video market, July takes a look at How to Find Clients and August examines the Real Estate Video Market – while the Real Estate market is dismal, marketing videos to the RE market is finally getting some acceptance, now is the time to jump into the game!
All that and more, stay tuned – it’s all inside!

Another Videomaker workshop is under way this weekend and this small group will get lots of one-on-one training. This weekend’s offerings are the Basic Production Workshop and the Intensive Lighting Workshop.
Attendees often come from all over the world come to beautiful Chico, California for fun and extensive training for 3 days at the Videomaker Headquarters. (What we like to call VMHQ for fun)
The Basics of Video Production workshop attendees spend the entire 3 days shooting a short film from start to finish, taking the beginning videographer into several areas of production including pre-planning, audio delivery, shooting, post production and lighting with hands on instruction from the Videomaker staff and certified instructors.
Workshop attendees use our equipment and team up with others in the class, sharing roles from Director, Shooter, Lighting Gaffer, etc. This weekend’s workshop attendees will be working with Canon XL2s and 1D Mark IV, Sony’s NEX VG-20, Adobe CS5 editing suite on HP EliteBook 8760w workstations , and lights, mics and accessories from Videssence, LitePanels, iKan, Manfrotto, Marshall Electronics, Sennheiser, Azden, and much much more.
The Intensive Lighting class will learn the basic 3-point lighting setup, of course, but also more intense specialty lighting techniques like lighting for greenscreen, lighting products, day-for-night tricks, using reflectors, gels and DIY setups, working with Magic Hour and specialty lighting for people.
We started doing a Show-n-Tell session a while back and it’s been a great hit. We have all this gear that many of our attendees read about but often never get a chance to see in person. Unless you live in a major metropolitan area with brick-and-mortar production gear stores like B&H Photo, you can’t find most of our specialized equipment at your average electronic store. Attendees get to see products we’ve reviewed and take notes and pictures and get a hands-on feel of some specialty gear they’d like to find more about like under-water housing, suction-cup car mounts, and all sorts of lights, mics and stabilizers.
If you want to learn more about Video Production, you definitely need to check out the Videomaker Workshops! We have another workshop coming up in a few weeks in June, and, as always, space is limited.
This workshop also covers the Basic of Production and offers and Intensive Editing workshop running concurrently. [meaning you can’t take both at the same time.]
If you take the June class or are considering the September class, come early for our popular Thursday Night Market event in Downtown Chico is a weekly fun spring-to-fall event that’s like an outdoor Farmer’s Market combined with a “Small Town Main Street” feel that includes music, food, craft fair and kiddie activities. Mainstreet America doesn’t get better than this!
Below is the schedule for the rest of 2012 – Hope to see you soon!

Video production is such a wide and varied field, from hobbyist and amateur producers, to Lone Wolf business people and full-fledged production facilities. Is your interest in editing video production or video production service? Are you a wedding video producer or a newbie looking for advice? Are you making online video or educational video? Video producers come in all flavors and inquiring minds want to know: who ARE you? What kind of video work do you do? Let us know, we’re curious about what type of video you make, and for what purpose.
Recently, EarlC, one of Videomaker‘s moderators, posted a Videomaker Forums Survey looking to answer some questions about the type of video producer who reads Videomaker, either online or in a paper edition, and who reads our forums and who is active on them.
As many of you might know, Videomaker forums are chock full of advice from real video professionals working in the trenches – and best of all, they’re FREE! How many places can you get service for free, huh?!?! Read the rest of this entry »

JVC has a follow up on the 4K camera they showed at CES 2012, but first, two new cameras, the GY-HM600 and the GY-HM650. Both have a small form factor, and can be handheld, so first we’ll cover the GY-HM600.
This ProHD camera features a 23x zoom lens and combines it with great low-light performance. The GY-HM600 ($4,700) goes for versatility by working in multiple file formats like XDCAM EX and Final Cut Pro (MP4 and MOV respectively.) It will make use of SD cards and can relay them for continuous recording even after they fill up. A second function here is to simultaneously record to multiple cards so as to provide a client with an on the spot copy or give yourself a backup.
Viewfinders with 1.2MP color and 3.5-inch LCDs make for clean monitoring in most situations. The built in handle has a trigger and servo zoom control, and if that’s not enough to get you to shoot while holding the handle consider the Pre Rec feature that continuously records and stores a max. of five seconds to help cover the head or tail of a shot that you missed. The GY-HM600 is rounded out with three 1/3-inch 12-bit CMOS sensors and a Fujinon 29-667mm lens, three built-in ND filters, two XLR inputs, and one input for a wireless receiver.
GY-HM650 ($5,700) seems accurately touted as a mobile news camera. Video can be set to record to two codecs, one at full HD and a second at 1/4 HD for the Internet. By the way, if the camera could talk it’d mention that it’s got built-in FTP and Wi-Fi so no more running back to the news station just to drop in footage – no satellite or microwave connection needed.
Much like the HM600, we see a Fujinon 29-667mm lens with zoom as long as 23x. This also gives it good light sensitivity, F11 at 2000lx. These two cameras also share resolutions at 1920×1080, HD-SDI and HDMI outputs. The same mic input compliment puts the similarities to rest, the main difference is the connection to the Internet and $1,000.
The GY-HM650 is also available a few months later than the GY-HM600 which will debut in Fall 2012. As promised, the news on the GY-HMQ10 is that, it’s shipping – as of today! The first handheld 4K cameras (GY-HMQ10, $5,550) are now reaching video producers as you are reading up on NAB 2012 news.
Please discuss on the Videomaker forums.

When was the last time you experienced that Blue Screen of Death? March 31st is World Backup Day and is a reminder that anything that can go wrong with your computer, will go wrong, and backing up is an important step in protecting your precious files. There are many ways to backup your files, from hard drive to CD/DVDs and cloud storage online.
Hard Drive: if you have room on your hard drive, create a copy folder of your essential data. This not only gives you a second copy but is what you can use to copy out to CDs, DVDs or other media.
CDs and DVDs: if your computer has a CD/DVD burner, you can create your own CDs and DVDs to store data.
External Hard Drive: an external hard drive can connect to your computer via a USB connection and they can hold 1 TB at a relatively cheap price (some under $100). What’s also nice is the size: some can fit in the palm of your hand.
Online Backup Services: there are a variety of sites that allow you to backup your data some even for free! Read the rest of this entry »

We’re always interested i
n stories of up-and-coming indie movie projects. One such project that caught our eye was Sledgehammer, an Aliens-inspired science fiction film about a group of space marines marooned on a distant planet full of hostile monsters. The design of the monster was what really did it for me. The concept art, by 3D artist Wesley Griffith (who also worked on Dan Trachtenberg’s Portal: No Escape) shows a nasty spiny insectoid, something like a giant sand flea, sure to inspire the heebie jeebies in any arachnophobe. Science fiction is one of the most difficult genres in independent film, for obvious reasons: Science fiction means special effects and special effects cost money! So we had to know, how do you make a critter like that on a budget?
The man behind Sledgehammer is 15 year veteran 3D video game artist Frank Silas, who has worked with Rockstar Games and Activision Blizzard; he previously directed the award-winning short film Box on a shoestring budget of $2000, but Sledgehammer promises to be a more ambitious special effects extravaganza. He’s using Kickstarter to raise the money to make this film a reality.
Frank spoke to Videomaker about the challenges of putting together an independent science fiction movie, sharing some tips about finding funding, recruiting actors and creating special effects on a tight budget. Aspiring sci fi directors, take note!
VM: What have you learned from working on Sledgehammer?
FS: I learned about being an Executive Producer. If you are able to bring in active investors at the target amounts you need per film then you can make any film you want. That’s the rub, because those two things are directly proportional. So in most cases you will not be able to make exactly the film you want. I’ve learned to be detached from the details just as long as I like the outcome. I write the script that I want to write, then we shoot what we are able to shoot based on locations, crew, cast etc. Then we edit what we have to turn that into the best possible film it can be. Even in post production it depends on how many people or how much time we can put on to it, but that keeps each stage of the process an adventure, somewhat experimental which frees me to not only shoot more films, but to enjoy the work more. I could see the struggles of other directors who have a crystal clear vision that they want reproduced from their mind’s eye with complete fidelity. I don’t want to struggle against the film making process. I want to enjoy it and I want my crew to enjoy it.
VM: Besides Kickstarter, what other alternative funding options have you explored?
FS: I brought on a couple of friends to help me pay for the live action shoot. That’s what allowed us to shoot the film in the first place. It’s tough to be an Executive Producer on your own film as a Director. Our purpose on Kickstarter.com is to raise funding to create the visual effects for the film. Our studio normally shoots DSLR on Cannon 5D Mark ii and Cannon 7D. With this film we were able to get our hands on a RED Epic from one of the same companies that supplied RED Epics for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. So now we need to do vfx at a very high resolution, which means insurmountable render times unless we acquire the proper software and hardware tools to deal with that.
VM: What advice would you give to other aspiring filmmakers?
FS: The advice I would give to other film makers working on low and micro-budget films is to be a bit more Depak Chopra about it. Your careers will last longer and so will your crews. As for the Sci Fi Film aspect, you’re really going to need to love it. It is the most difficult kind of film to do. It also takes the longest amount of time to make. It cost more than any other type of film to produce, but if you can hit a home run there…those fans are forever. I know, I am a sci fi fan thanks to George Lucas, Ridley Scott, and James Cameron. Sci Fi raised me.
VM: How did you find the ri
ght actors for Sledgehammer?
FS: We screened over 30 actors to discover the cast we have on Sledgehammer! We were very selective about those 30. I promised all of the backers of our Kickstarter to tell them first exactly how we found the actors and what we were looking for. We’ll even show you the process we went through to get them ready in the feature length documentary we are shooting on the making of Sledgehammer, provided our Kickstarter is successful!
VM: What was your idea for how the alien should look? How do you build a good alien when you’re on a budget?
FS: Building an alien on a bu
dget really comes down to what you are trying to accomplish with that character in your film. For us, we knew that there wasn’t just going to be one alien and since I’m a 3D Artist with 3D Artist friends creating our aliens in 3D just made sense. Not everyone can do that on a budget, but we already had that background coming into this production.
With the alien design, I wanted to create something that people have not seen before. It needed to look believable, but not quite like anything else. I call it a cross between JJ Abrams, Starship Troopers, and Avatar. I want the audience to feel scared, intimidated, grossed out when they see it. The thing is the size of a mini-van. Here’s a spoiler, that’s not the only monster in our movie.

Austin Texas is the place to be next week with the South by Southwest Music, Internet and Film Festival. Better known as SXSW, beginning on the 9th, people from all over the world will join together for a fabulously good time with great music and inspiring movies.
Besides the Festival events cinematographers will have the chance to attend several meet-n-greet events and seminars. Nikon is partnering with The Bui Brothers who are going to be running a session on how to shoot a music video. What’s cool is that it will incorporate Nikon’s latest gear – the D800 and D4 – and will feature a live band, a local group from Austin called The Statesboro Revue.
The check out MAXON’s free show. Motion graphics company MAXON along with Austin Motion Graphics Meetup is sponsoring a free event with presentations from motion graphics rockstars Nick Campbell and TRON: Legacy VFX artist, David Lewandowski.
NewTek will be delivering many of the live events through their awesome live production and streaming process at the event and to the web with broadcasts of SXSW itself along with the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, Gibson Guitars, GeekBeat Live and TechCrunch.
The festival started in 1987 as a music festival to draw headliners to the eclectic music scene in the middle of Texas. In 1994 they added film and interactive elements and the SXWS has become one of the major film festivals to show, attend see and be seen on the levels of Sundance Film Festival, the Chicago International Film Festival and Cannes in France.
Many films have their debut screening at SXWS before moving on to other festivals and, for the hopeful, commercial success.
Among this year’s films are 8 documentary films competing from more than 800 submissions, 8 narrative features from more than 900 submissions as well as a showing of festival favorites from other premiere, animated, documentary and narrative shorts, and what looks like a fun event: “Midnighters” – scary, funny or controversial movies playing for a night owl crowd.
To find out more about the many film festivals nationwide and a few throughout the world, check out Videomaker‘s Festivals and Event page: http://www.videomaker.com/community/festival/. If you are having an event, festival or contest, or knw of one not lsited, you can add that yourself – we welcome all entries, our mission is toe spread the word for video producers to find new places to showcase their work. Learn about entering festivals here: www.videomaker.com/article/14945 and find out what the judges are looking for in video contests here: http://www.videomaker.com/article/12760/
The SXSW festival runs March 9th through the 17th and it’s not too late to register , although access to all events will hit you at more than a thousand dollars, you can still get tickets to the Film Festival for $595. (Of course, accommodations might be difficult if you haven’t booked yet!)

Whether you’re just starting out in video production – or have been into cinematography for years, taking a video production course can help you break out of a rut with new ideas as you meet-n-greet with people who share your interest in video making. 
People from all over the country – and all over the world, come to our small town of Chico California – 70 miles north of Sacramento, 2 hours east of San Francisco – for our three day workshop that includes lighting, shooting, editing and audio techniques as well as production planning and location and studio setups. they learn to work with a crew, and study the many crew positions in the video production process including directing, audio mixing, lighting design, and, of course, shooting. 
From our basic workshop that covers a bit of every aspect of being on a crew to our intensive courses that include Intensive Editing, Intensive Lighting, Advanced Shooting, and Advance Lighting – we enjoy teaching our workshops and these tight-knit groups always leave on Sunday exhausted, but with a new knowledge and understanding of the field of video production.
this week’s Videomaker workshops includes Basic Production and Intensive Editing.
People from all areas of video production come to our workshops: those in video advertising and starting a home business; those interested in possibly moving on to specialized cinematography schools, making online documentaries or looking for television production jobs in the future. We get teachers and hobbyists, career-changers and those looking to enter festivals, contests and film competitions.
Videomaker is a good place to learn – and connect, and we recently added more dates to our 2012 lineup:
May 4-6: Basic Production Workshop and Intensive Lighting Workshop
June 1-3: Basic Production Workshop and Intensive Editing Workshop

One of the most common questions we get from beginning video producers is “how do I get my video to be more like what I see in movies and TV?” It used to be that everyone was looking for that 24p, shallow depth of field look that film has, but with modern DSLRs that look has become so common it’s no longer an issue for most people. While there’s a lot that new videographers can do to increase the professionalism of their video, the number one thing that separates the amateurs from the pros on the web is audio. You could (successfully) argue that good lighting, editing, and composition is also very rare on YouTube, but in the age of guerrilla filmmaking, even the pros are neglecting many of the fundamentals. If you ever watch reality TV, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. On YouTube, and sites like it, you’ll find videos with varying degrees of production quality. The line that separates amateur from professional is drawn between good and bad audio.
One thing that you will hardly ever see (or hear) from a professional production, however, is bad audio. Why is this the case? Why is a medium that is so heavy on visuals so reliant on audio? The big reason is that humans are very good at absorbing information from a visual source, but not as good with audio. If we see video that’s lacking details, but can easily hear what’s going on, our brains will fill in the blanks where the visuals are lacking. That’s why whenever you see grainy, pxililated dash cam car chases on Silliest Police Chases 19, you can hear every police siren, tire screech, and metal crunch (these sounds are all added in post, but that’s another story). The video itself is ugly and hard to make out, but by being accompanied by good sound, our brains complete the picture for us.
Because we use sound so much to interpret video, bad audio, or audio that is difficult to hear, is extremely frustrating for the viewer, even if the picture is crystal clear. Consider a talking head recorded with the on-camera microphone. It doesn’t matter how great the lighting is, how emasculate the set is, or how crystal clear the picture is; if the viewer has to strain to understand what the person is saying, you can bet they’ll click to the next video. Conversely, if the same person is recording to VHS, in their garage, with natural lighting, but is wearing a lavalier mic, and every word can be heard clearly, the viewer is much more likely to continue watching.
So why is good audio so rare on YouTube? Let’s ignore the videos of cats and planking, where sound isn’t really an issue, and focus on scripted content. Firstly, YouTube directors just don’t think about recording sound when they’re planning their production. This goes back to humans being visual creatures. Just remember that that only means that we need extra help when it comes to audio. Secondly, recording good sound is an added cost on top of the cost of the camera, tripod, lights etc. Thirdly, YouTube directors may simply be inexperienced with audio equipment and be unwilling to invest time and money for a tool they’ve never used before. If that’s the case, there are some great resources out there to help you learn the ropes.
Good audio won’t make up for bad content on YouTube, but if you’re confident in your production, having good sound will elevate your production quality to a level above most everything else on the web. If you pick up an affordable mic and shoot once or twice while capturing good audio, I’m confident you’ll find that it makes such a big difference in your production quality, that you won’t even consider shooting without it again.

In 1985, Marty McFly [Michael J. Fox] and Doc Brown [Christopher Lloyd] went back in time to 1955 then forward in time to 2015 and then farther back in time to 1885 through the 3-part Back to the Future trilogy. I’m a great fan of the trilogy, and I love to watch the entire series with the director’s commentary that explains how a lot of shots were done. But a Back to the Future 4? What do you think? Should they make a sequel?
Rumors? Or Fact?
Rumors of a Back to the Future 4 have been flying around for years, but as we approach Marty and Doc’s 2015 ‘future’, people are resurrecting a Back to the Future 4 idea. A couple years ago, on the 25th anniversary of the first BTTF movie, a Blu-ray edition of the trilogy was released, causing a new flurry. And no wonder, the original Back to the Future stood 8 weeks in the number one spot in 1985 and was the highest grossing film of that year. Plus, the sequels did equally well – a rarity in sequel-dom.
This being 2012, the year of the end of the Mayan calendar that has triggered apocalyptic predictions of the end of the world, might also be triggering some Back to the Future 4 ideas.
Personally, I don’t think it’s a good idea. Michael J. Fox is clearly no teenager anymore and has chosen not to continue an acting career, and although some rumors have stated that the BTTF4 movies would have Doc Brown with a new side-kick, I think it’s a bad idea; you just don’t touch a classic. To make a sequel this late in the game will bomb at the box office, I’m sure. Remember The Sting 2? What about Staying Alive, the sequel to Saturday Night Fever? Or one of the biggest sequel jokes: Scarlett a 6-hourTV mini-series about Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler following the events after Gone With The Wind. That was downright embarrassing. Help me with this – what other Sequel Flops do you recall?
Re-Makes: Love ‘em or Hate ‘em?
Most classics should be left alone, but technological advances in the movie industry have allowed movie creators to make some amazing realistic scenes using special effects that weren’t even a concept way back when. Sometimes a remake of a classic can introduce a new generation to the story, or make the story so much more realistic. Planet of the Apes is one such re-makes that come to mind. Not only did Rise of the Planet of the Apes explain how apes really could take over the world in a few generations better than the first series; the reality of the chimpanzee – Caesar - played magnificently by the amazing Andy Serkis of Gollum [Lord of the Rings] fame, was unmatched compared to humans in monkey suits of the original 1968-’70s-era series. But these well-produced remakes and sequels are rare successes. the 2001 attempt at a Planet of the Apes remake bombed. Usually a remake or late-hour sequel seems to be someone’s attempt at making a few bucks on the unsuspecting public. [Pirates of the Caribbean 4, anyone?]
What sequels do you recall that were good, not just in how they were made but in how they continue the story, maybe merging storyline seamlessly?
Just for Fun Editing
What i DO like, though, is watching some of the “Mash Up” trailers that many people have been making, just for fun, about what they envision Back to the Future 4 might involve. From well-produced trailers showing Marty and Doc in prehistoric times and messing with the “Time Continuum” to cheesy low-quality trailers that have mixed BTTF footage with that from The Terminator, Juristic Park or other futuristic or prehistoric movies, these “Fake Movie Trailer” editors are having fun doing what we all love – editing.
So what do you think – Back to the Future 4? While we have the technology to make some awesome effects now, it would have to be one heck of a cast and the producing and directing needs to be spot-on, or else it’ll get subjected to the same criticism of the prequels of Star Wars – The Phantom Menace, which is now being re-released in 3D – anyone going? I know I will – I am, after all, a Star Wars fan, even though I didn’t like how the prequels were presented – the joviality and spark just weren’t the same.
I say: Leave the Classics alone! Tell me, what do YOU think? And tell us, what’s on your “Worst Sequel List“?
