Film Makers/Camera Men

[Dangly]

There are lots of photographers in here but I don’t see many video camera posts in here? What hardware/software do you use?

Anyone do it professionally?

Depends how you define professionally. My background is stills and 90% of my current job is stills but I also have to produce the odd video and I like to think they are of a good standard.

I know of three PH's that are in the biz (there's probably a lot more).

Check out www.stevecarter.com/Jackal.wmv This was made by teh Jackal (typo intended) who I think now has moved onto computer graphics... but this is how car vids should be edited!


I've directed a few corporate & charity vids in my time mostly on Betamax or U-Matic (I'm old). I'm also now strictly amateur and use a couple of 3CCD Sony cams and a bullet cam for the car. I edit on either the 'oh so easy' Movie Maker or the 'when will it crash my system' Premier Pro.

As I am a medical photographer - very.

I've done a few videos. Even did my mates wedding, editing 7 hours of footage (2 cameras) really put me off doing any more for a while. That was about 5 years ago!

I've been making vids for nearly 4 years now for the smacs (www.scoobysmacs.co.uk)
My fave so far is the restrospective for 2006 http://www.scoobysmacs.co.uk/Videos/smacs%202006%2...

I use a sony dv camcorder and pinnacle v9 software for all my editing. Still saving up for my own bullet cam

That's more of a photo slideshow than a video
