It’s Noell’s Birthday today. Because I’ll be spending the day focused on her (and on keeping the kids from driving her nuts), there will be no new Izzy Video this weekend.
Also, I’m trying to come up with ideas for #50, which so far I’m struggling with…
If you’d like to join me in wishing Noell a “Happy Birthday”, please consider popping over to paperclipping.com to leave her a comment.

Even when we’re trying to do otherwise, sometimes we all shoot bad video. This installment of Izzy Video puts my flaws under a spotlight. This is an opportunity for you to learn from my mistakes!

Lifehacker must be one of the best blogs on the internet. Their range of subjects varies wildly, but I frequently find their posts interesting. And I’m addicted to it. I read it every day.
Today I enjoyed the article on shooting video titled, “8 Ways to Shoot Video Like a Pro.” More great stuff.
The article presents old concepts in a fresh way. Almost all of the steps are ones that I’ve covered extensively in Izzy Video. But one of them - the first one, in fact - is one I’ve never mentioned. What is it? It’s “Read the Manual.” Such a great sense of humor too! Great writing, great fun.
The article is short, but worth reading.

I’m starting to feel a little burn out over the video podcast thing, so I think I’m going to take a short vacation.
I won’t be putting a show up this weekend, and I might take the next weekend or two off as well.
For now, my intention is to return with new content in the near future, so I appreciate your patience.

Reposting as a smaller version:
My camera is still off at the shop, but I found some footage in my computer that I decided to use for this installment of Izzy Video. Try not to pay attention to the expression on Noell’s face. She was listening to a serious scientific talk via the internet, so she was hardly even aware that I was working around her.
:-)
This week’s installment of Izzy Video introduces the idea of four-point lighting, instead of the more frequently covered three-point lighting.

Once again, the small version. This time it’s episode 47.
The original text went like this:
Because my camera is broken, I have no choice but to do more screen casts.
This installment of Izzy Video is for newcomers to Final Cut. In it, I show you how to use the “Fit to Fill” editing option. It’s extremely useful for timing video to music.
Please pardon the technical problems. There are a couple of audio and video glitches in this Izzy Video which I couldn’t get rid of. I believe it might have been a bug in the software I used to get the screen movies, Snapz Pro X from Ambrosia software. Usually it works great, so I’m not sure if I did something wrong. However, if I wait until everything’s perfect, I might never get this out!

I received an overwhelming audience request to post small versions of all the videos, so I’m doing just that.
This is Izzy Video 46, only much smaller.
The text from the original post went like this:
Time for another screencast. I had someone ask me this week how to do the “Pleasantville Effect” in Final Cut Pro. This installment of Izzy Video shows you exactly how to do it.

I received this email yesterday:
Hi Mr.Hyman, I just want to say great podcast show.
I take your show every where I go in my iPod, and when I have down time, I turn to Izzy Video.
I work at the White House as part of the White House press so we travel with the President a lot.
But the good thing is that other camera and sound techs…who have 30 years under their belt, notice what I’m watching on my iPod.
So now there are other members of the Press who are watching your show and say its a great show.
So keep them coming…
C.Anthony Miller

I’ve been really busy this week, so I won’t be able to create the smaller versions of the most recent episodes until this weekend.
