Absolutely great tips! I've been thinking I need a wide angle lens for my camcorder for years... but to hear a professional say it, finally gives me the confidence to buy one.

Also another tip is to not only tun off auto white balance, but to also turn off auto focus. This may not be much of an issue with larger shots, but with the skewed angle you suggest, the camera's autofocus may shift on you mid shot. Very annoying.

@AllenKll Thanks my friend, although I am far from professional LOL! I was amazed with the wide angle not only for working in close quarters (which is primarily why I bought it) but the wide shots outside are stunning, a real film feel. They usually come with a ring to fit on your camera if they are not the same size fitting and are relatively inexpensive, having said that you can spend a fortune on a good lens. Mine came from an online retailer called digitaltoyshop... Great tip about focus!

Hi, Rich. Can I make a request?

How do I transplant the Dance Dance Revolution FX where arrows scroll up the screen in tune with the music onto another video?

[richw4]

@Germania9 I think you would have to create the shapes and manually move them to the beat...would be tricky and time consuming unless somebody else knows of an easier way?
