Izzy Video 061 – Light Modifiers

Light modifiers, just like they sound, are tools you can use to modify your light source. For example, you might use them to change the color or shape of your light.

In this installment of Izzy Video, I briefly discuss barn doors, color gels, and a snoot.

Izzy Video 060 – Spinning an Image

izzyvideo60

This weekend I’m responding to viewer requests. In a previous tutorial, I included a shot where my website was spinning against a graphical background. Many of you asked how I made that shot, so this week I’m showing you how.

Once again, this tutorial is inside Apple’s Motion, but I’m sure you can create the same effect in a number of different applications.

Izzy Video 059 – Cam Twist

izzyvideo59

This weekend I’m getting extremely informal by doing a quick demo of a free application called “Cam Twist” (Mac-only). It allows you to add special effects in real time using your webcam. As you’ll see from the video, you can also use it to capture your computer screen as if it were a video source.

It’s a fun app to play with!

* Note: A special thanks to Leo Laporte who mentioned he was using Cam Twist on his radio show The Tech Guy. I discovered the app from him. No surprise though. I’m always learning new stuff from that guy!
