EventDV archives from September 2007
Life in the fast lane.(field of vision)
September 1, 2007... As an event videographer, I've done concerts, dance recitals, and sports as well as weddings and bar mitzvahs. I think of "event video" as coverage of any situation in which you can't call "Cut!" and do a retake. This, of course, extends to...
High fidelity.(studio time)
September 1, 2007... The year was 1980. The place: Land O' Lakes, Florida. Vance Hohenthaner picked up a video camera to capture the memories of his son and daughter growing up. What started as a hobby grew into a passion, and by 1983, he had obtained a business...
Suite home Chicago.(the reel deal)
September 1, 2007... In the April edition of THE REEL DEAL, "Home Suite Home" (p. 30), I wrote about the advantages and disadvantages of working from a home studio, and how to make it succeed as a business strategy. This column will delve further into that topic....
Editing audio for video in Adobe Soundbooth: 5 key tasks.
September 1, 2007... I'm a big Adobe Audition fan, and when I heard that the powerful multitrack audio editing program found in Adobe Production Studio would be replaced in the upcoming CS3 bundle by a more feature-limited version, I was less than pleased. That...
Hone your message with adobe VC3.(the amen corner)
September 1, 2007... As we've seen in several of the most recent issues of EventDV, improved versions of video and graphics suites from Adobe and Apple began shipping recently. These tools allow recording, editing, and distribution of video, audio, and graphic...
My dream HDV camcorder.(hd today)
September 1, 2007... Since I saw Sony's prototype HDV version of the DSR-250 at NAB, I've been envisioning the features of my dream HDV camcorder. For me, it's not a shoulder-mount but a handheld FX1/Z1U-sized model. Some available handhelds have one or two of...
Macintosh software: field monitors.
September 1, 2007... In this article I'm going to take a good look at three of the most practical video production software products on the market for the Macintosh platform. They are what I call "field production software" or "software monitors"--my own terms for...
Life's high points and low points.(making history)
September 1, 2007... As video historians, we are always asking questions about the life and times of our clients. Recently, I did an interview for a client's grandfather, who was turning 98 years old. I usually ask questions about specific milestones in my...
The DVD invitation: paper or plastic?(Cover story)
September 1, 2007... A few months ago I was chatting with a 13-year-old bat mitzvah client and she began talking to me about 50 Cent, Bow Wow, and Notorious. No, we weren't talking about money, her dog's name, or any Alfred Hitchcock movies; these were her favorite...
Your 2008 vacation.(stage to screen)
September 1, 2007... September is here. Summer vacations are over, fall is around the corner, and the busy wedding season is coming to a close. I remember my first days back at elementary school after summer break. We would get a new teacher and she would ask which...
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for Mac.
September 1, 2007... SYNOPSIS:
Premiere Pro CS3 brings the Adobe NLE back to the Mac as a polished-looking product capable of handling most editing needs with ease. Editors who demand deep capability and minute control may find a few features lacking in what...
Video professionals who also do weddings.(cradle to grave)
September 1, 2007... Recently I met with a young couple who were looking for a wedding videographer. One of the first things I said to them was, "I am not a wedding videographer--I am a professional videographer who enjoys videotaping weddings." I went on to...
The exposure ballet.(the moving picture)
September 1, 2007... I have a confession to make. Though I manually control exposure in much of the shooting that I do--in interviews, tutorials, training, and even wedding ceremonies--I usually default to auto-exposure settings for staged events. This is...
Soul and the sale.(the nonlinear editor)
September 1, 2007... The first time I met the 4EVER Group's Tim Ryan at NAB 2005, I recounted the peculiar history of EventDV's predecessor EMedia, a history that culminated in scrapping the whole thing and launching this magazine. Mostly, EMedia had fallen prey to...
New camera support for rock-and-rollers.(gear & now)
September 1, 2007... Many wedding and event videographers just won't shoot without a solid, shoulder-mount professional camcorder. They like the weight, the resistance, the steadying nature of a full-size package.
Others love the free-form handycam approach,...
