ART Okay product video stuff coming up - VIDEO GUYS ENTAR

[Ty Webb]

OKay brotatoes!

Got a video shoot coming up soon for work and i'm not well versed in the latest video shit.

When I owned my 5D2, I helped the company shoot and direct some last minute product installation and in-use stuff, then used iMovie to get it done.

This time, no more 5D2 and I told them it's time to rent or buy what we need. So we have products going into Marcus Hotels nation wide and I need to film the installation and usage of the products.

Should we just rent a 5D2 again, and appropriate lenses for each shot or is there a better way to capture HD video now?

whats the video for? broadcast?

 

[Ty Webb]

not for television. Web primarily. Informational for the consumer and retail buyers.

shoot it with your d3s...

I don't want to use my personal and business equipment for another job that won't compensate me for it. They've used that card up and im taking a stand.

 

[turbodude]

i would charge them rental fees, that way you can make $ some on the back end as well.

I would not use a DSLR to film installation videos. Rent a real video camera. You'll thank me later.

rent video crap from us at zacuto. af100 should be good enough for what you need

Can't wait.

If you can, the best bang for your buck would probably be to rent a tripod and video head
