The NAB Show contains sights sounds, smells and products, that will be yours courtesy of your Videomaker editorial team. We'll do our annual awards to highlight the biggest products to know about, and likely touch on some that you'll simply drool over. The biggest companies will be there, including the ones you might never hear about unless you command a workstation in a master control room.

Technology is getting pretty wild nowadays.
We haven't been able to find out how to do this hack yet, but it's only a matter of time until we write a "how to" article on it. It is more than likely going to be sold as a product in the next six months, so you might as well wait for it rather than doing it yourself and blowing up your camera. Regardless, It looks like an awesome hack and we love the effect you get out of it.
Oh yeah, April fools.

We all try to make the most out of the gear we have, but every video producer hits points in their career where they become limited by their equipment. Anybody who does video seriously knows it can be an expensive venture, and that it takes time to acquire all the gear we want. The world of camera support equipment is vast and can range from relatively affordable to shockingly expensive. A good tripod is worth it's weight in gold and everyone should have a shoulder mount to get basic handheld shots, but eventually, you're going to want to get some more dynamic shots. When it comes time to plunk down some of your hard earned money on another piece of camera support gear, it's important to know what each piece of gear can and can't do.
Jibs
Jibs or Cranes range from fairly compact to huge, but in essence they perform the same function. They give you the ability to add vertical movement to a shot. Of course the bigger the jib, the bigger the move can be. Panning with a long jib arm can also mimic a trucking move, but your shot will move along a defined curve, rather than a straight line. A large jib can also get you some nice high angle shots you wouldn't be able to achieve otherwise, and you can achieve some really artistic shots if you use it in conjunction with a robotic head. Jib or Crane shots are particularly effective when there are items in the foreground that show off the movement.
Cons: Jibs tend to be large, and while they are great at getting those sweeping grand shots or high angle shots, the can be cumbersome to setup.

Who said life on the seas consisted of scurvy and motion sickness? Certainly not the folks at UKSA. Incorporating wicked transitions, time-lapse, and other awesome effects; they show just how fun shredding on a windsurf board can be!

Ever wanted to spend a year traveling Australia in a van? Me too, that's why I live vicariously through this video.
The beauty of the land is undeniable, and the addition of superb editing, eye-popping graphics, and epic timelapses make for a great watch.

Here we have a beautiful setting and a beautiful house, which makes for a beautiful real estate video.
Real estate slideshows have been around basically since the birth of the internet. Though they are effective and show good detail, nothing can show you what its like to walk into your new home like a well made video. Not to say that slideshows are lame or cliche, but a well made video with a DSLR, slider, glidecam, and wide angle lens can do wonders for promoting a house.
If you have the equipment and you're looking for work, pitch the idea to your local real estate agents. They'll be interested in having a competitive edge, and if it goes well, you could have a steady client on your hands.
