That's a great tip. I will look for that shoulder mount. In the mean time I'll use my mono-pod that came with my tri-pod. It does help with lowering the shakiness.
hmm, I think I may be missing something here but....why is he covered in tape? (btw no hate, this is the first video i saw of his tips, it was a link from his knockout video of jesse)
you can have a steadycam with vest and everything and the image could still look like crap, or do what i did, run trough a 200 feet corridor with your tripod and some specialized running and boom as steady as in the movies! as joe said it's not the gear it's how you use it! :)
Haha I used to do the same thing with the tripod before getting that shoulder mount. Best 30 bucks ever spent! Although, one of the extra attachments for the mount broke, but now it's just shorter.
ahah i thought i was the only one that used my tripod as stabilization. i was thinking about getting the cowboy shoulder rig but it looked really cheaply built. sooyeah.
Well I guess, considering the lesser dollar value it'd be 57 euros which is still a very good deal considering how good it looks, I still might invest in it sometime. Thanks for this Joe, this is gonna help me out loads!
@YossariansBane yeah exactly that's why i said, it's still a very good deal, but as I said in the comment before this, the shipping to here is 50 dollars which makes it 80 dollars, which is 57 euros :P but, this is still less than 1000 haha..
ahahha i have that tripod! except the stupid winder doesn't bring my camera up anymore it just clicks when i spin it.... but damn i want that shoulder mount! thanks joe!!!! and i can't wait to see the lighting!
@WhoTheHellsJoeNation I absolutely LOVE these videos!! They have proven to be quite helpful- especially this episode!! Thank you SO much for sharing with all of us!! Keep it sexy ;)
man all people need to know about this cause we aren't all rich here
thanks joe
QUESTION!!! - you said on amazon but how much was shipping i know it will be different since i'm in canada but i just wanna know just to know a ball park number thanks :)
Hey joe I just got a 7D and have a question. When you change it to Live Mode is the camera suppose to make a sound from the inside, it sounds like its alive
@JoeNationTV doesn't that only happen when you take a picture? also how can I get rid of this sound, do I get a microphone like the rode or a shotgun mic because I tried to remove it during post production but I was having problems
I'm just curious about the sound capturing I'm looking at a cannon t2i it has an external mic input but I'm not sure if I will need it what do you think
that's the mount i am getting, this is the only one that even makes sense. i can't see forking out over $700-$1000 for something i could build myself for pennies on the dollar. I found the Velbon 687 tripod like you have there before but it looks like you have a different fluid head on it. most of the velbon's are pan head which is why i never chose them before not a fan I'd rather have a fluid head that i can put on a slider if i wanted to later on personally
Woo! the cowboy studio shoulder mount i got mine last month, works amazingly! Joe- im sure you have reflectors but i thought id tell you, theres a 5 in 1 reflector on amazong, one side is a flag, gold reflector, silver reflector, white reflector, and the center piece is a scrim, bout 3.5 feet in diameter, and only $15
Thanks a ton for making these types of videos. You have no idea how much it means to amateur video makers like myself who slave over the internet and Google trying to find what works. Hearing results from someone who's done in successfully is awesome.
the cowboy mount is great, I was looking for something more sturdy and came across the rigs on Jag35.com . no spam here, just thought I'd share with some fellow filmmakers
What about low budget software to use (video and audio).
Or how to start working a little on some projects (what type) to obtain the necessary money to buy someting more professional (Premiere, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, etc...)
@mariomatosmeb as to freeware, i can recommend imovie. a great little program but only works on mac. if you have a pc look for pinnacle studios editing software
Hey, I love this series of videos,it is going to help a lot because I want to start a youtube channel,with skits,parodies and characters when I move to Los Angeles in two years. I love it and I think it is a great job, a video you should do if you do not mind, is the sites where you got the lights,cameras,brands. Green screen,editing software. If you could say what brand your tripod is, thanks.
Joe, when I shot my stuff on the 60D I had problems exporting in FCP. The video quality turned out terrible even though I tried several exports and even H.264.
Maybe talk about the editing part and how you import and what you export your final footage as after colour correction and effects are added?
Would be greatly appreciated and keep them coming.
Thanks for that! :) You're the best example that the quality (with that i mean the awesomeness of you're filming talent) depends on how you use you're stuff, not on thousands of expensive equipment.
I love the pro tips! Lighting and sound would be great. I always just turn on all the lights possible but I'm sure that's not the best method. Thanks joe!
best image stabilization is tripod. Any time i can use a tripod i do, unless the shot requires alot of movement or the handheld movement is an effect it is always the worse option using a handheld setup and its also extremely lazy if you ask me!
@Tweek5470 no, rolling shutter has never really been an issue for me. I find I try to avoid it while shooting but when editing i discover that I never really end up using any footage that has rolling shutter issues.
these vlogs are really interesting and cool :) could you talk about how you make the picture so professional looking? being all soft and shady at the right parts, i mean. is it just the lighting or do you do some color correction or something? keep these how-to vids coming, you're great! :D
I really like that this wasn't just about using a tripod in the conventional way or software image stabilization, but using an affordable shoulder mount and a different way to make use of a tripod, which most amateurs will have.
It's just crazy how expensive the photography and filming gear is. And I'm not talking about the cameras or the lenses, but about the rigs, steadycams, dollys and other stuff. They are quite often ridiculously overpriced.
@WhoTheHellsJoeNation It would be cool to learn about what dollys and stuff you use. Keep up the great work, in my Directing Class this year we have access to check out a wheel chair for a dolly. :D Love these little episodes.
