Izzy Video 036 – Capturing Fireworks on Video
New to Izzy Video? A few things you should know: I created this site to be a resource to help you get started and develop your skills in shooting video. I've posted more than 100 video tutorials on how to shoot and edit video. Several are free downloads, and I consistently release new tutorials every month. You'll notice that many videos are available to members only.
Finally, I recommend you subscribe to my RSS feed, or the newsletter (the form is in the sidebar) to make sure you get new videos as they're released. Thanks for visiting!
Special Izzy Video for tonight. Happy 4th of July, everyone!
In this video tutorial I demonstrate how to capture fireworks on video, and it’s available to members only.

Wow, now that is exactly what I need to know in about a week. I will be filming some footage in the dark with a lot of race cars going by. I assume these settings can mostly only be done on semi-pro cameras? I have a Sony mini DV, and other then the auto focus, I can´t find anything else to adjust….
But great tips never the less!

Very timely and definitely didn’t see a bonus episode coming. Great job as always and I will try that tonight.

I love the way that this show went but i noticed that there is a function on my camera for fireworks. Can I just use that? Or does that not work well?

Loving your show!!
I was wondering if you could touch upon your workflow with regards to storage. I have plenty of extra hard drives for storage but my filing system is inconsistent. How should one structure his video filing system, such as naming folders and backing up data?

I am loving your work. Simple. Clean and to the Point with just a hint of humor and creativity to keep us coming back. I am trying to figure out where to put my vote about creating a podcast. I looked, but not under every nook and cranny. Also thanks to you I found out about podcast alley which helps me find what I am looking for. However, there is a disconnect in info about how to get the podcast in iTunes. This is one I was interested in and it will come up but not inItunes. http://www.chicagodefender.com/podcast/rss.xml
I’ll keep searching.

Susette,
Thank you for the kind words regarding the podcast.
You can add almost any podcast to iTunes by doing the following steps:
1. In iTunes, click on the “Advanced” menu.
2. Then click on “Subscribe to Podcast”.
3. Then paste the address of the RSS feed, in this case, http://www.chicagodefender.com/podcast/rss.xml.
And TADA! You’re subscribed. Give it a shot. That should work.

I’ve seen nearly all of the videos on this website and it has helped me a great deal. The other reason why I’m pumped/excited is because I believe you and I have the same Camcorder (Canon GL2). So it’s really awesome to see what my cam can do. Its a recent purchase so I haven’t played with all of the features just yet.
Keep up the good work and Thank You.
