what is the best video camera to use to make professional movies?

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:33:38 +0000

I am 14 and I want to be a Movie Director when I get older. I have been looking at cameras for a while now and have bought quite a few, but none have worked well enough. My friends and I make videos for contests and I’ve been trying to introduce myself to the directing world.

Im looking for a camera that is within a reasonable price range, also any video editing software tips would be nice too. I would like to buy a camera that takes pictures and records video, but a camcorder would be fine too.

you can consider buying Sony HDR-FX7 3-CMOS Sensor HDV High-Definition Handycam Camcorder with 20x Optical Zoom

What is that attachment on the end of camera lenses?

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:33:28 +0000

It looks like 4 black flaps that are hinged. I see them on telephoto lenses.
What are they for?

A petal style lens hood. There are also plain, round hoods. Both are designed to keep light from coming into the lens from the side. The petal hoods are generally lens specific.

You may see actual hinged flaps on a larger, studio flash units, or on theater style continuous lighting. These systems are called barn doors, and are used to keep the light inside a certain area.

Onward we go to the compact cameras that I’ve found with a built-in interval timer (intervolometer). Please add to the list in the comments! I’m always looking for more compacts that have timers. Sorry that I lingered on the almost impossible to find Epsons but they served some other important points.

Into the Lens by Yes

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:31:10 +0000

From Wikipedia:
“I Am a Camera” is a synthpop song by The Buggles from 1981 of “Video Killed the Radio Star” fame, from their second album, Adventures in Modern Recording. Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes started writing the song before joining up with Yes. A version of the song was released as “Into the Lens” on the Yes album Drama. When Horn and Downes continued with the new The Buggles album, the song was completed as “I Am a Camera”. The two versions feature slightly different lyrics, notably “I will never let you go, and you always let the feelings show” (Yes version) compared to “I will never let you go, if you only let the feelings show” (The Buggles version).

In the music video made for the song, during the beginning, there are a pair of Horn’s trademark glasses. On one of the lenses is a video and the other is glass. Horn comes out of the video side of the glasses (as illustrated). There are scenes involving Horn singing, broken glasses and opticians’ tools. The video is seemingly set in a dollhouse. Towards the end, Horn is seen lying on the floor passed out.

The title is a quote from Christopher Isherwood’s Goodbye to Berlin (1939). The full sentence reads, “I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking.” There was a play (1951) and subsequent film (1955) based on the novel under the name I Am a Camera.

Lyrics:
Memories, how they fade so fast
Look back, that is no escape
Tied down, now you see too late.
Lovers, they will never wait.

I am a camera

Take heart, I could never let you go
And you, always let the feeling show
Love us all, how you never broke your heart
You lose them
If you feel the feeling start.

I am a camera, camera, camera

And you, may find time will blind you
This to just remind you
All is meant to be.

Here, by the waterside
There, where the lens is wide
You and me
By the sea
Taken in tranquility.

Taken, taken so easily
To pass into glass reality
Transform, to transfer, to energy.

Taken, taken, so easily
To pass into glass reality
Transformer, transferring energy
