Israel: I too wish to thank you for all the great help you’ve given me in becoming a better videographer. You mentioned you were running out of ideas for tips, I’d like to suggest a couple. First, many of us video our kids in dark places (theater, gymnastics, plays, etc) and I’ve always had trouble getting the exposure and lighting right in these settings. Also, how about sports video (soccer, karate, gymnastics, swimming) What exposure settings would work well in these settings? I’m assuming of course the camera has some manual settings. Mine is a Sony PD170.
Thanks,
William

Frank, no thanks necessary! I enjoy making these, although I don’t do it as often as I used to. I’m starting to run out of ideas that aren’t overly complex.

Thanks for the kind words, though.

I would like to add my thanks to you for making these Podcasts, as a long time “Stills” man They have helped ease me into “Movie”! I am pretty sure that here in the U.K. we do not have anything camparable, keep up the good work.

Best Regards Frank Baker

Izzy- I have been in the film/video business for 27 years. I enjoy stopping by and watching your common sense, “how to” pieces.

I have been working on DOF with my Canon XL2 for the past few months and although the lens has a 2 fstop ND setting, it still does not give me good control of the focal planes. I have tried using heavy ND filters with the lowest fstop but still can’t get the shallow DOF I need. I know the small CCDs are primarily the reason and had seen the P+S Technik Mini35 but it is too expensive. Is there other options I’m not finding?

Another great job of explaining the F-stop/depth of field concepts. I liked it better that you’re actually on screen explaining the concepts rather than the black screens with text you had previously. You may have wanted to demonstrated what an image looks like with the different F-stops and the lighting differences.

Keep them episodes coming, they are very educational.
