Behind the scenes - Craig's Kitchen

I have been receiving requests to provide information about my video and audio setup that I use for my videos. Since I was filming a Craig's Kitchen, I thought It was a great opportunity to show some of the things that I do before I shoot these videos, and how I set up my video, audio and lighting equipment. The actual Craig's Kitchen video will fallow shortly.

Equipment list:
Panasonic GS-500 Mini DV camera (3 CCD)
Velbon Stratos 480 Fluid head tripod
Flip Ultra HD (used to use a Canon PowerShot SD-750)
Audio Technica 200 Series wireless mike, transmitter and receiver
Various florescent cool white lighting fixtures (only one shown here)
Laptop using Audacity audio software
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3Ghz with 1.5 terabytes of storage, 4 gigs of ram.
Sony Vegas Pro 8. 9, 10.
Samsung Syncmaster 275r LCD monitor
A generous supply of home brew!

Wicked video Craig I must admit I have no idea with filming and need to learn! my wine videos were shot by just putting my digital camera on to video, I have a video 8 I got from a carboot sale its like new about 20 years old I look forward to using it you have to start somewhere take care Ian UK ps Craig my dad has a camcorder that takes tapes but records in DV my video 8 is tapes what is the differnce? they both use tapes but his says dv Digital video my knowledge of video is poor cheers Ian

[CraigTube]

@sandydogy Your camera is analog and his is digital. That means that yours records like a VHS recorder does, and his digitized the signal and records it as binary code, like a CD vs a record.

Cheers!

Nice Video Craig! I'm probably the only person on YouTube that has actually been in "Craig's Kitchen" lol

@weirdbeer You've also been in the brew dungeon, but only once, cuz it's a mess. We need to get together Fo and talk All Grain. Let's pick each other's brains over some beers.
