Question for you…
Hi again!
I’m having a hard time deciding which of these subjects I should cover next, because I don’t know which one you want to see most.
So, I thought it would make sense to ask you. These are the topics I’m considering for the next Izzy Video tutorial:
- How to shoot video in small rooms.
- How to shoot video in low light situations.
- How to use the Zoom H4n audio recorder.
- How to dramatically improve family video without buying more gear.
As you know, my goal is to make stuff that’s helpful to you, so I really want your input.
Which one do you want me to cover next? Please let me know in the comments…


June 10th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Definitely #4. It’s the main kind of videos I get to shoot.
Keep up the good work!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
#2 would’ve been quite useful!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
low light situations please
June 10th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
#4 of course! although #2 is really interessant too (many of the low end camcorders have severe problems in low light situations, delivering footage that is too grainy to be usable)
June 10th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
4 seems to be a good bet. Unless I can just vote for all of them?
June 10th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Izzy: Number 2, low light, would be great. And it would be good if you could address HDSLR (Canon and Nikon) as well as camcorder tips. thanks, Bob
June 10th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
In order of my preference I say: 2,4,1,3.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Please do # 2! I am faced with that right now for a big event this weekend!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
I’d go for the Zoom audio recorder. I’m trying to utilize this with my Canon 5D mkII to capture better audio for my videos with the VDSLR.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
#4 is a good one.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
Can we vote for all four? :-) I just bought the Zoom H4n, so that would interest me.
Thanks for all you do.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
For me either 1 or 2 would work best as I actually often have to do both at the same time.
Thanks Izzy. Love your work.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
I think the biggest problem is shooting in small rooms.
I wish I could set up a permanent studio.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
small rooms and low light would both help.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Either #2 or #1.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Zoom h4n please! I really would like to learn to use it better!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
I would love more information on #2….#4 would be my second choice.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
how to shoot in small rooms and low light, but not for members only, for the poor struggling aspiring film makers like myself :)
Keep up the good work!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
#4
June 10th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
# 2 would be good.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
#4… #2 would be great as well. Thanks for all your great tutorials!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
I would say number two would be my top choice. Poor lighting conditions are at the base of so many issues with home projects. No matter what kind of gear you have going, bad light can totally change the quality of the shot. I would also put number one as my second choice–seeing how small rooms and low light seem to come in pairs. :-)
June 10th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
All of them are great, probably my order of preference would be 4-1-2-3.
Number 3 is last because after watching your vid I’ll probably have to go out and buy one…. :-)
June 10th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Small room shots would be great please.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
I’d really like to hear more about the H4n
June 10th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
I like 1 and 2.
Thanks , Billy
June 10th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
#2 – without having to purchase a ton of new lighting equipment! Some times it’s just not convenient to tote along a huge light kit.
#1 would also be helpful. I often have to shoot faculty in their small offices. #4 – always can use help! Thanks for asking!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
3. How to use the Zoom recorder please
June 10th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
#1 and #2 often go hand-in-hand for me, so those would be of most immediate benefit, but I have been considering the purchase of the H4, so that would be helpful as well. (Be sure to mention settings for getting it’s audio to sync with that of other recorders, please).
It goes without saying, but I think ALL of your members likely get stuck behind the camera at during family outings, so that, also, would be greatly appreciated.
I look forward to them all!
(Starting with 1 & 2)
June 10th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Low light situations.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
I think I’d be most interested in hearing your thoughts on #2 but they all look good.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Hi Izzy, First thank you for it all. I may be the oldest working member (or not) but what I have learned has been so so good in my work. Just starting (2 years) to shoot video for clients and your work is my main man!I vote for #2. Thanks for keeping in touch with all of your loyal students.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
I would definitely go with #2. if I had to choose a second place it would be 4!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
#4, then #2. :)
June 10th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
#4
June 10th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
#2 Low Light for sure
June 10th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Zoom H4n for starters, though you couldn’t go wrong with any of your choices
June 10th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Dear Izzy,
Numbers 1 and 2 are my biggest challenges when I shoot my videos, since they represent my real conditions so far.
Although you have made a tutorial about chroma-keying, It would be great to also know how to light “green screen” when having 2 separated lights environments are not possible due to room-size restrictions.
Well, that’s my contribution today. Hope to see the new tutorials,
Cheers from Miami,
JL Galvis
June 10th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
I’am also in for the Zoom H4n recorder topic. I bought one myself a couple of months ago, but so far used in only for recording ambient sound and interviews (no video). it wouId be helpful to learn some tricks for recording audio in video projects.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Izzy-
I’m an architectural photographer making the conversion to video with my Canon 5d mark 2
Small and large interior spaces is what I need help on.
Using the zoom recorder as compared to a hard wired mic would also be helpful
Thanks for asking.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
I’m currently shooting all of our training video in a small room, with poor lighting. So, it is somewhat crowded with the light boxes and all…
So, my choices would be either 1 or 2.
You’re the best,
Alain
June 10th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
shooting in small rooms is definitely my pick. I shoot too many things in tight spots and would love to learn how to make my videos look better.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
I guess I take number 2 among those.
Thanks again
Mo,
June 10th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
How to dramatically improve family video without buying more gear
If you want all of then in order it would be 4,2,3,1
Thanks — Jeff
June 10th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
I’ll vote for #4 :) who wants to buy more stuff – unless of course… you just have a bunch ‘o money :)
June 10th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
In order of preference…
2 – 4 – 1 – 3
Thanks for asking!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
I like all of them so can’t choose. Sorry!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
All four topics are great. My vote in order below.
1. How to shoot video in low light situations.
2. How to use the Zoom H4n audio recorder.
3. How to shoot video in small rooms.
4. How to dramatically improve family video without buying more gear.
Ahmed
June 10th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
they’re all great topics, but my #1 is improving family video, followed by low light, then small rooms, and last Zoom H4n audio recorder. izzy, thanks for letting us have input! very cool.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
I would go for # 2 also, but it don’t really matter to me
June 10th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
I would like to see all four eventually, but since I just purchased a Zoom, I’d like to see that next!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Izzy,
I suggest you cover 1,2 and 4. Without even knowing what it is I know I don’t own the Zoom recorder, so device-specific instructions don’t really help me out. More generic tips and tricks and techniques, rather than how to use a particular bit of hardware or software, are more useful to me.
Thanks for all you do!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
#2 would be the most useful
June 10th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Definitely #2!!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
#4 and then # 2 & # 1
Thank You
June 10th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
Hi Izzy,
I would like:
Number 3:the ZOOM H4n
Number 4: Improve family video
Number 2: Low Light
Number 1: Small rooms
Cheers and keep up the great work. I look forward every week to something new.
Bryan
June 10th, 2010 at 2:58 pm
I would prefer the small room shooting or the low light situation
thanks for everything
June 10th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
I would like to see them all also. Any order would be great.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Izzy, how about how to shoot family videos in a small room with dim lighting.
Actually, the only one pertinent to me is #2, low light without the dreaded gain!
Cheers,
June 10th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Low light! Next is H4n (I just bought it!)
June 10th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Low light. Always a challenge, chiefly because of the grain buildup.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
Low Light for Me
June 10th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
Izzy .. I have not seen any bad tuts you have made so all will be great .. that sid amy pref order would be 4,2,1,3
June 10th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
I’d like 2. I’m guessing you’re talking about combatting low light situations, which would be great, but I wouldn’t mind tips on deliberately creating low light scenes, too. Thanks!
June 10th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
Small rooms are always a problem for me because I use an HV30 and a Flip Ultra HD and their widest angles are never wide enough.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
#2 please. I have the DVX and the HVX; great cameras but they don’t do well in low light and I hate adding gain!
June 10th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
My biggest struggle is sound. So anything sound related really helps. Your videos are great.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
#2 Will be great with me.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
Number 2
June 10th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
#1 Please :-)
June 10th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
I vote for #2, always a challenge. Would love your take on number 4, your family work is always fabulous.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
The order I would rank them is: 3, 1, 2, 4. Thanks!
June 10th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Definitely number 3. I have one sitting on my shelf, but haven’t had time to dive into it. I would love to see what you have to say about it!
June 10th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Number Two followed by Number Three
How to shoot in low light situations without cranking up the grain and having the video look like someone poured sand all over it would be awesome.
I have a Zoom H4n but would love to know how to use it optimally.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
#2 as low light is a pain, particually on hdv. Use of gain is shocking!
June 10th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
I vote for #2.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
Low Light… I always have trouble in low light.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
#2 Low light would be very helpful, but the Zoom recorder is also intriguing. Go with Low Light, first though.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
I vote for low light….
June 10th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
4 please
June 10th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
#2 please!
June 10th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
Please do them in the order you have listed. Thanks.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Hi Izzy
I would have to vote #1, #2, #4 then #3. For anyone with the Zoom H4n there is a good instructional DVD from ProAudioDVDs.com that I got myself a few months back. It does cost a few dollars but it’s very thorough.
Looking forward to your decission
June 10th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
In order of desire… #4, #2, #1, #3. Thanks for asking.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
I vote for 4! (Next would be 3)
June 10th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
#2 – I had some issues last weekend at a wedding reception that had extremely poor lighting. I was using a Canon 7d. So it would be helpful to have some options for the DSLR’s especially.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
First I wish no. 2. The rest in this order: 4; 3; 1. But all of them are very interesting and useable.
Thank ylu for a very interesting site.
Michael M
June 10th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
I would vote for #4
June 10th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
#2
June 10th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
low light
June 10th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
low light please
June 10th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
…and the winner is #3!
June 10th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
Hi
Low Light situations, also just a suggestion as i,m struggling a bit with audio cut off between clips (over the shoulder conversations) i,m using imovie 08 at the moment, tried fading down slightly and back up between clips.
Thanks for the tutorials, really helpful.
Alan
Liverpool
June 10th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
My preference 1 and 2
Thank you.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
All good subjects.
But I must chose one.
OK. No 4.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Def #4! Thanks for asking!
June 10th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
#2 would be a good choice.
Thank you :)
June 10th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
First Pick is #4
Second Pick is # 2
June 10th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
#2, low light situations, followed by the small room options
June 10th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Low light PLEASE
June 10th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
2-3-1-4
June 10th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
2143….also i hope you do the second course on final cut express. thanks for a great website.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:51 pm
#1 Small rooms; second choice #2 Low Light
June 10th, 2010 at 3:51 pm
#4 please. Keep up the good work :)
June 10th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
#4, #2, #1 #3.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
Primary: How to dramatically improve family video without buying more gear.
Secondary: How to shoot video in low light situations.
Keep it up Izzy!
Oh, and thanks for the continuing iTunes MS feed – with a busy life it’s nice to NOT have to remember to go and download the latest goodness. Now if only I can convince my iPhone to load them… (heh)
Cheers,
Wayne
June 10th, 2010 at 3:53 pm
just do 1-4, they all sound interesting!
June 10th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
First number 4, and then number 2
Thanks and good luck
June 10th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Todos los temas me parecen importantes, pero el orden de prioridad para mi seria el mismo como fue propuesto.
Gracias por tus aportes siempre útiles y muy didácticos.
June 10th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
I say #2. Low light is sometimes a problem. Second choice would be #4
June 10th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Definitely #4.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
#4 has my vote
June 10th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
My vote is for number 3, as I plan on buying a Zoom fir use with my DSLR.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
#1 or #2.
I don’t shoot family vids and have no recorder.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
4. How to dramatically improve family video without buying more gear.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:21 pm
you are an amazing instructor !! #2 please.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:21 pm
Order of preference 1,2,4,3
June 10th, 2010 at 4:21 pm
To solve this bickering how about a lesson on shooting a family video in a small room with only one small window using the Zoom to record all the audio?
All those in favour raise your right hand …..
June 10th, 2010 at 4:22 pm
I would like # 3
Thanks
June 10th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
2 & $ please
June 10th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
#3, using A Zoom recorder (why not the H2) and how to sync the audio with the audio track of the camcorder would be terrific.
Terry
June 10th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Just got the Zoom H4N this week so I’ll vote for that
June 10th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
The order in which you listed the videos works for me. 1,2,3 then 4.
Thanks and look forward to seeing them.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
4 !
Second choice: 1
Great customer focus. Keep up the good work !
Meindert
June 10th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
Number 2, please. Most kit seems to be able to cope with good light, these days, but it is a different matter with low light and shooting with no opportunity to do much pre-planning to make the most of what is available – how do the pros do it?
June 10th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
Please, please,please, I need help with shooting in low light situations. I am editing a wedding video right now and my video looks like I used a bronze filter. I have to do a lot of correction in post. I can’t get a handle on shooting in low light. I would greatly appreciate a video about this, thanks Paul
June 10th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
#2, followed by #4. I have problems shooting in horse arenas – stark outside light against dim interior. Horse moves across the splashes of sunlight then moves into shaded side of arena.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
My choices: # 4, then #2. thanks for asking.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
My first choice would be #2.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
#2. I do a lot of wedding receptions and spend loads of time fixing the footage with Neat Video plugin.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
#2
June 10th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Low light situation, without using gears at $5000+ please :)
June 10th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
I wold love to see #4 then #2.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Choice 4 would be really good.
June 10th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
My choices two,four and one.
Keep up the good work. I don’t use Final Cut Pro, since I use a windows machine. I appreciate your tips that apply to general video editors.
I use mainly pinnacle studio but, also have a older version of AVID Express pro (ver4.0). Its more affordable upgrading Pinnacle.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
They are all great topics. I am most interested in the following in order:
Low Light Shooting
Zoom (especially as a live shoot backup audio device)
Small Rooms
As for low light shooting, I have demoed the Neat Video plugin and its amazing for correcting gain noise from my V1U – a camera that I love, except for its low light performance.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Low light!
June 10th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
Low Light shooting–thanks Izzy all of your work is so helpful!
June 10th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Amazing, I am looking forward to all of the tutorials in whatever order they are presented.
You have some great insight in to my needs.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:23 pm
#2 is so important :)
thanks
June 10th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
#3 the Zoom would be my #1 choice.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:26 pm
Low Lighting
Zoom recorder and syncing without PluralEyes (windows here – Edius Edit)
Family shoot
small room shoot
June 10th, 2010 at 5:26 pm
#4 then #2
June 10th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
I would like tom learn to shoot in low light. Thank you
June 10th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
#4 works best for me :-)
June 10th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
#1 for me. Trying to set up a small studio type of affair in my woodshop.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
#2 please
June 10th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
#1 & #4 please!:)
June 10th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
Please eventually do all of them! But for immediate release, I’d love to see #1. I often have interviews with individuals and feel that I am “in their face” and would love to hear your approach to these kinds of situations. Keep up the great work, Izzy! I learn so much from you and appreciate your service.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
1 and 2 I live. In a small home low head romm most of my shots are done sitting down.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
#4 because I think it could include multiple tips on bettering footage for even work situations. Then #2 because I find myself in darker than ideal situations when recording video and interviews.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Ummm … #2 first, then #1 second.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Low light tips for sure.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
Definitely #4 but I would like to know if you could add a little more to it. Like what would you suggest for us people that have bare bones and want to go to the next step without spending a fortune. Like what’s the next gear for someone who already has a $400-$800 mini dv camcorder from a few years back. What’s the next step up from that?
Thanks
June 10th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
Thanks for your GREAT tutorials. Much better
than Lynda.com (easier to understand)
choice: 4,1,2,3 inthat order.
Thanks
Duane
June 10th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
How to shoot video in low light situations.
June 10th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
My order is 3, 2, 1, 4. Thanks very much.
June 10th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
#4
June 10th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
No#4 would be good:)
June 10th, 2010 at 6:26 pm
1 or 2 would be helpful as we are going to start doing interviews within various locations for our website. Both would apply.
Thanks
June 10th, 2010 at 6:37 pm
#4 followed by #2 :-) At least with all the responses, you definitely know folks are listening to you!!!
June 10th, 2010 at 6:39 pm
I vote for ALL of them. But #3 would be my choice to be first. How is that new studio coming along?
June 10th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
#2 please.
June 10th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
I have an idea, this is something nobody talks about and that will be how to behave in this business . lots of people don’t show respect for their clients and this give us a bad reputation. And also I noticed this type of people talk more than the client they are not good listeners . what do you think?
June 10th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
Hi Izzy,
My preferences (in order of) would be: 4,1,2
Thank you for the chance to provide input!
June 10th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Lighting…..come on really ya got to ask
June 10th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
#2 please. Great work, thank you.
June 10th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
#2 low light
June 10th, 2010 at 7:22 pm
Two, by far
June 10th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
#2 for me as I’ve just (reluctantly) invested in a “Pro 183-LED light” for my Canon XHA1 to avoid grainy footage in future. Keep up the good work!
June 10th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
#4 and then #2 #1 and #3. Thanks for your effort to help us best.
cheers, Wim Hotke
June 10th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Izzy,

Ah, the Zoom of course! Good sound is so important.

I vote for 4, then 2, then 1. I don’t know what 3 is so maybe I should vote for it so I can learn about it! :)
June 10th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
My vote would be how to improve family video using the H4n while in a small room with low light.
June 10th, 2010 at 11:49 pm
#3 Audio is everything!
June 11th, 2010 at 12:26 am
id say all would be great,
i myself in need of some tips on recording a video with proper lighting( ie recording a product review)
June 11th, 2010 at 1:10 am
#4. Because I think it could be useful to every body
June 11th, 2010 at 1:10 am
Hi

June 11th, 2010 at 1:15 am

June 11th, 2010 at 2:23 am
I am more interested in your post production (FCE 4) tips & tutorials – which have been so helpful but #2 would be interesting. Thanks for asking & keep up the excellent work x
June 11th, 2010 at 2:44 am
I would like to see no4 but think they would all be good as most family films suffer because of small rooms,poor light and sound.
June 11th, 2010 at 2:44 am
They’re *all* great topics – but I’m thinking of buying a Zoom H4n audio recorder, so I’d like that one 1st!
June 11th, 2010 at 3:32 am
Why not a video about how time consuming video hobby and pro is.
This for showing family, friends, all people whom believing this is made on a coffiebrake.
Showing from planing ,taking footage , editing etc.etc..
I think all who are in this need a relief in order to be appreciated a little bit.
Thanks for all your excellent lessons

Definitely 2. Always a problem when shooting inside and can’t be well corrected in post I find. (Probably due to my lack of knowledge though).
June 11th, 2010 at 4:39 am
My choice first 2 then 1 then 4 and last 3.
How to shoot video in low light situations is my winner.
June 11th, 2010 at 4:47 am
#1 and #2, I am going to make a document and I shoot it mostly in these kind of situations.
June 11th, 2010 at 4:58 am
2 and 4
June 11th, 2010 at 5:04 am
Hi Izzy,
your insight into using the h4n would be my choice for you next tutorial. I’ve been using it professionally now for a couple of months together with Pluraleyes and whilst it really chews up batteries and is extremely awkward to use it certainly enables hq sound recording with the Canon 7D / 5D.
thanks
June 11th, 2010 at 5:11 am
1 and 2 would be interesting for me. Kind regards, Doris
June 11th, 2010 at 6:06 am
#1 Small Room. There is no other subject that has more inherent problems requiring multiple solutions. Lighting in a small room, sound pick up of close proximity recording, video composition in a small room while shooting HD. So very many issues so many Izzy solutions ready!!!
June 11th, 2010 at 6:16 am
Definitely how to shoot video in low light situations.
Thanks IzzY
June 11th, 2010 at 6:43 am
#2 then #4
Thanks.
June 11th, 2010 at 7:07 am
Shooting in low light situations would be of most value to me.
Thanks!
June 11th, 2010 at 7:10 am
They’re all relevant topics to learn about, I can’t prioritize these great choices.
June 11th, 2010 at 7:48 am
#2 or #4 please!!
June 11th, 2010 at 8:15 am
#4 will be good for me.
June 11th, 2010 at 8:36 am
I would like #2 How to shoot video in low light situations. My video seems grainy unless I use flood lights!
June 11th, 2010 at 8:40 am
ALL THE 4 TOPICS YOU NEED TO SEND TO US
THANKYOU (FRIEND FROM ZAMBIA)
JOHN
June 11th, 2010 at 8:56 am
I would say #4 would be my choice.
June 11th, 2010 at 9:33 am
#4 would be absolutely awesome!
June 11th, 2010 at 10:52 am
I’m voting for how to shoot in low-light situations.
June 11th, 2010 at 11:28 am
# 3 is my favorite. But all 4 is welcomed!
June 11th, 2010 at 11:29 am
Thanks for asking…
My preference is either #1 or #2.
June 11th, 2010 at 11:46 am
Hi Izzy
Tricky question. For me the first two subjects would be of most use to me personally, and if I were to choose between them I’d say Nr 2 – how to shoot in low light. Having said that the first one is a very close second.
Hope that helps!
regards
Darren
June 11th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
My vote is for number two, shooting video in low light. All the subjects listed are immaterial if you cannot acquire a good picture. I deal with most of my low light level shooting with a camera-mounted light. Most of the time it is inconvenient or impossible to use a key light, fill light, or etcetera. I would be most appreciative if you could cover this subject at length. Thank you for addressing theses video subjects.
June 11th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
# 1
June 11th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
# 4, without any doubt ! It is what I need most
June 11th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
#2 please
June 11th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
2d character animation(human movement, facial expressions, birds, animals, etc.) in Motion
June 11th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Hi Izzy,
My order of preference is 2, 1, 4, 3. Hope that helps. As always, thanks for your wonderful videos.
June 11th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
#4. I think most people could use this information.
June 11th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
2 please
June 11th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
My vote is for #4
June 11th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
#4, family video, then #1 small rooms, then #2 low light.
Thank you for asking.
June 12th, 2010 at 1:40 am
Every year my students want video of their formal but they are not willing to have the room well lit, so I definitely would like some hints on #2.
June 12th, 2010 at 3:03 am
I’d like to see number 4, please.
June 12th, 2010 at 5:01 am
3 and 2 for me Izzy. Love the videos and love Gizmo and Gatsby too!
June 12th, 2010 at 7:36 am
How to shoot video in small rooms.
How to shoot video in low light situations.
How to use the Zoom H4n audio recorder.
June 12th, 2010 at 7:44 am
all of theme is soo good thank you man
June 12th, 2010 at 10:08 am
low light is always difficult with digital video. i would like to see some information to help with that.
June 12th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Definitely #2. Then in order of preference: 4; 1; 3
Thanks for everything,
Cheryl
June 12th, 2010 at 11:56 am
1+2+3+4
June 12th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
No 4 please
June 12th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
#4 at first and then #2
June 12th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
#4 would be helpful
June 13th, 2010 at 9:11 am
Low light yesyesyes
June 13th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Number 2: Low Light… but, they’re all very good topics.
June 13th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
All the topics are very good. I think my preference would #1 and #2
June 14th, 2010 at 12:42 am
Izzy, after reading some of the many comments and suggestions I thought of something perhaps you can cover in a future training lesson. 30 second commercials would be interesting and to learn the many steps needed to put one of those together would be fantastic!However, it might be too much for one lesson.
June 14th, 2010 at 5:59 am
I would say #4
June 14th, 2010 at 8:18 am
Izzy…..my first choice would be Zoom H4n.
Thanks for all your great info.
James
June 14th, 2010 at 9:16 am
I think I’d be most interested in hearing your thoughts on #2 but they all look good.
June 14th, 2010 at 4:12 pm
All topics look good, but casting my vote for #2 or #1. Thanks!
June 14th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
#2 low light is always a challenge. I’d love to hear what you have to say about shooting in dark places.
June 14th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
#2 (low light) is my top choice, followed by either #1 (small rooms) or #3 (Zoom H4n).
June 14th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
# 4 PLEASE.
June 15th, 2010 at 7:33 am
Hi
I think the use of a off-camera sound recording device would be very helopfull. I am using the little brother H2
Best regards
Jorgen
June 15th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
I would like option #2
June 15th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
#1 Please
June 16th, 2010 at 11:50 am
No 4 would be great. Then no 2. Hope that helps
June 17th, 2010 at 12:40 pm
How to shoot video in low light situations. Plz
June 17th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
#2 of course, low light is a very common situation
June 20th, 2010 at 10:24 am
Actually 1, 2 & 3 would be great. All apply. With low light also talk about how different cameras will react differently.
The Zoom recorder would be nice for a quick set-up and use of built in and external mics with and without. The small rooms would be interesting with one camera vs additional cameras plus lighting. These are all great ideas.
June 22nd, 2010 at 12:49 am
Low light. Yes.
June 22nd, 2010 at 8:09 pm
3. Using Zoom would be incredibly useful for me!
June 28th, 2010 at 4:22 pm
Izzy, I have another topic I would like to see. A universal way for clients to view your work. Youtube does not work and most people don’t have quicktime or flash. Is there a universal method?
