Hello guys,

On my blog site, there's alot of articles and websites that I have recommended to help us all in regards with pre-production, production and post production. I'm new and i'm trying to create a community within my blogsite so that we all can learn from each other and compare opinions. My only dream is that someone will push us towards a newer era in film/video creativity. Let's start now.

Anyone with me?

I have shot our first inhouse corporate video and the faces are way overexposed. There is not enough detail in the image to color correct it properly, plus with the amount of videos we need to produce in such a short period of time, I'd like to minimize the amount of color correction we have to do in post. So, how should I be lighting the subjects to avoid overexposed faces? I have 4 lights, and can put up to a max of 500 watt bulbs on two of them, and a max of 150 watts on the other 2.

It's been a while since I've put anything up so here's a vid from Still Motion with some good intermediate tips on how to make adjustments for shooting with a DSLR outside in bright sun. Now, the lessons talked about also apply to dedicated video cameras as well concerning apeture, shutterspeed and Neutral Density Filters as well.

I just launched a new site - www.DVculture.com. Check it out let me know what you think?

Anyone have experience with the regulations on doing a documentary in this country?

Thanks,

Steve

Some time ago, EarlC brought up a post concerning when do you feel you're successful as a producer? In this discussion of 'Film Fellas' Director's of Photography from feature films, television series and corporate videos discuss their viewpoints on when one feels they're a success at the business of shooting. I think the discussion applies to both seasoned pros and for those who are venturing out on their first pay shoots.
