There was atime that when you went to anexhibition you’d need an extracarrier bag or two just to takehome the various branded pens,gonks, stress balls, key rings andmugs. But alas, with tightereconomies and more places tospread that marketing budgetthose days seem to be driftingaway. Or at least I thought theywere!Having arranged to meet theIOV’s treasurer, Steven Abrams(aka Tight Fist), at the exhibition,it proved to me that you just haveto have a keen eye for theopportunities. Steven certainly hasthat keen eye - and every time wecrossed paths at the event his bagseemed to be expanding. Thoughit wasn’t until we reached theEditShare stand that I witnessedthe maestro at work.He didn’t beg, nor walked upwith his bag open and a sorrowfullook on his face - he simplyThe CookRetortexpressed an interestin the freebee display.Having knownTara at EditShare for some years,he welcomed us to the stand witha cold beer (I guess that saysmore about my reputation thanhis!) - the free tee-shirt and mugwere all Steven’s doings.Anyway, what’s the point ofdedicating my foreword to this?For a start, don’t underestimatethe power of the free giveaway.Quite often the kick back fromthese will come way down theline. The real evidence that thesethings work is the fact that theyare still being used.Finally, if you happen to belucky enough to give something tosomeone like me they’ll feelcompelled to return the favour bygiving you a bit business or, as inmy case, a bit of free press.Cheers Tara!

Industry NewsStreaming WeddingsAfter the successfullaunch earlier this year ofWeddingStreams.co.uk, aunique weddingvideography service whichoffers to broadcastweddings live online forabsent friends and family,WeddingStreams has nowcreated a completesolution for WeddingVideographers in the UKand abroad to enablethem to simply and easilyprovide wedding webcastsfor their clients.“We’ve had atremendous response fromcouples for this groundbreakingnew service. It’sreally captured couples’imaginations and has beenproving especially popular withAsian and ex-pat couples, butalso couples with a limitedbudget who can’t invite everyonethey’d like,” says Andy Pag,founder of WeddingStreams.“We’ve won business that wewouldn’t have, just by offeringwebcasts.”This is the first time WeddingVideographers can webcast livevideo from the weddings they arecovering, without being boggeddown by complicated technology.All it takes to be broadcastinglive is a WeddingStreamsaccount, an internet connectionat the venue, and 10-mins set uptime on the wedding day.WeddingStreams provides thesoftware, training packages(that’s technical, practical andsales training), and they evenhost the website showing the livebroadcast.And the service includes morethan just the ability to broadcastlive video - it’s a tailored packagedesigned specifically forweddings:● The video is presented onwww.your-company.weddingstreams.co.uk● The couple automaticallyreceive an invitation email toforward on to their friends.● There’s no limit to thenumber of guests theyinvite.● The live broadcast ispassword protected so onlyinvited guests can access it.● Online guests have theopportunity to “chat” withother guests during thewedding,● And best of all they canuse their webcams to recorda Video Telegram messagefor the couple. These VideoTelegrams can be playedback at the ceremony as anadded service, or the couplecan access them online overthe following days.“Being a wedding videographermyself, I understand how tightthe margins can be whencovering weddings and we’vepriced the service accordingly,”explains Pag. “Videographersare charged by the hour for thelive video, and there are smallsurcharges for extra services.Webcasting a typical weddingwill cost no more than £150.We’re offering this as a WhiteLabel service so it’s brandedwith the Videographers nameand logo and that meansvideographers can create theirown pricing structure.” Pagexpects Videographers to chargebetween £300 and £500 for theservice as an add-on to theirexisting packages, and says thatjust being able to offer theunique service can be anadvantage when pitching fornew business.For a limited period,WeddingStreams is offering freeaccount set up (usually £200)which includes software andaccess to training material, aswell as a generous £150 worthof credit. The company haspledged that high volume usersbroadcasting more than 5weddings a year will receive asignificant discount.Although a lot ofvideographers may beintimidated by the prospect ofgetting to grips with newtechnology, it seems thatWeddingStreams has created aturnkey solution which makes itso easy for video professionalsto offer wedding webcasts -there’s no reason not to adoptthis new revenue generatingadd-on.

Industry NewsLocal IOV NewsKent & SE LondonBy Anonymous lady memberMembers leaving this month’smeeting, which featured a talk onlighting for videographers, could beheard muttering the mysticalmantra: “KFB, Kent Fire Brigade…KFB, Kent Fire Brigade…”, and forall I know these three wordsremain on their lips to this day as auseful aide memoir for successfulshoots in the future.According to Chris Waterlow,who gave the presentation, theinitials KFB are central tounderstanding the techniquesinvolved in correctly lightingobjects in a variety of locations andconditions. While they do notactually stand for a fire fightingunit in south east England, they dorepresent Key, Fill and Back - thethree major sources of light to beconsidered by anyone aiming toachieve a high quality productwhen videoing a range ofsituations and sets.With more than 20-years ofbroadcast and commercial videoexperience under his belt, Chrisarrived at the meeting with hisarm around an attractive nudemodel, and announced that acouple more blondes and severalredheads were on their way,causing the temperature in analready warm room to soar andguaranteeing instant rapt attentionfrom those assembled to hear hischosen topic.Senior cameraman at QVC,IOV committee member and itspresent assessment officer, Chriscombines a wealth of talent, skillsand technical knowledge with alight-hearted style of delivery,liberally sprinkled with anecdotesand jokes. Hence Dolores, thenaked young lady who so noblyproffered her perfectly posed torsoto the audience by way ofdemonstrating the benefits ofdifferent lighting forms in aninterview set up, was soonrevealed to be a plaster-casttailor’s dummy Chris had rescuedfrom destruction.“Before I discovered Doloresabandoned and unloved in a skip,”explained Chris, “I used to ask oneof the members to sit in duringdemonstrations. It didn’t alwayswork as they kept wriggling,fidgeting and moaning andwhingeing that the time it took toachieve the result I wanted wastedgood drinking time at the pub. Inow advise all videographers keento perfect their technique inlighting to keep their eyes peeledfor dumped dummies as they arethe ideal practical aids to lightingsolutions as they never complainor demand a pint for servicesrendered.”I can report that Doloresstayed stock still throughout hertwo-hour ordeal, retaining adignified air and polite smile to thebitter end. Transforming theunprepossessing setting of an opencrèche area above a Victorianchurch hall in Strood into anattractive set was no mean feat,but Chris managed to illustrateadmirably how even the mostlight-sensitive camera can beprogrammed to produce goodquality 3-D images with subtle andjudicious use of additional lightsources and careful use of props.“What appears unattractive toour eyes can end up lookingperfectly acceptable on cameraonce it’s properly lit,” he said. “Ifyou’re interviewing someone in aparticular place, like school, factoryor office, there’s no harm showingthat setting if you can take a bit oftime and imagination to make themost of what’s around -introducing a few natural propssuch as a vase of flowers, apicture, an interesting piece offurniture or some associated objectthat won’t detract from yoursubject, but will complement theshot by providing additionalinterest to the viewer. Whateveryou do, always remember to keepyour shot simple and never clutterup the space – it needs tobreathe.”Chris showed how it waspossible to blend and matchavailable light with mains/batterypowered lamps – the eagerlyanticipated redheads and blondes -along with pag and cool lights, byemploying a variety of gels, wires,diffusers, snoots, Fresnels andfilters to best effect, bringingDolores almost to fully-rounded lifeby bathing her in warm,naturalistic tones with sensitiveshading.The advantage of today’sdigital cameras is that manyfunction remarkably well in lowlight, but according to Chris thisoften inspires a false confidenceamong some videographers thatthey can get away with using onlyavailable light – plus a bit ofcamera-light enhancement inextremes – thereby ignoring theneed for additional sources ofillumination.“Careful placing and clever useof additional lamps will prove wellworth the effort and outlay, andmake the job more satisfying inthe end. A flat rather dull shotmay be acceptable but it can betransformed into something reallyspecial with a little thought andadditional light. Your clients maynot spot the difference or realisewhat you have done, but you’llknow you’ve achieved aprofessional result.”The extra light will providebetter rendition from the camera,making it possible to lift a flatimage and add a dimension byseparating the object from thebackground, giving depth of focusand vision through a mix of hardand soft light and shade. “Andwhile improving the image, youcan have fun creating differentcolours, moods and atmospheresto liven up the dullest shot,” saidChris. “This applies particularly tointerview situations which tend tobe static and therefore boring towatch for more than a fewminutes, so anything you can do toenhance the shot withoutdetracting from what theinterviewee is saying must be abonus.”Although videographers shouldnever skimp on lighting as it canmake or break a production, theyneed to think KFB – that good oldthree-point lighting mantra - everytime they consider a location.“Think really hard before lighting alocation, do a thorough recce andtake time to assess exactly what, ifanything, is needed – particularlythe suitability of available powersources,” Chris said. “There will beoccasions when no additional lightis required, but they’ll be few andfar between. Don’t forget thatnatural light – like the weather -changes all the time and can’t berelied upon, so having the backupof even the most basic lighting kiton hand is a sensible and practicalidea. Reflectors are particularlyuseful, small, lightweight pieces ofkit that can instantly get you out ofa difficult situation lighting-wise.”Over the course of his twohourtalk, Chris gave a series ofpractical demonstrations using thethree redheads to show how tosuccessfully light a single camerashoot of an individual talking-head,as well as a one-plus-one interviewset up, while keeping up anentertaining running commentary,warning about health and safetyissues, advising on individualpieces of equipment and fieldingquestions from the floor.

Industry NewsLocal IOV NewsScotland SouthBy Tony NimmoFirst of all Imust apologiseto those whoattended for theinitial disruptionwe had whichwas beyond mycontrol, howeverit did not deter us from havingan excellent meeting.Peter Harman, ProductManager, from Vinten(www.vinten.com) gave us an indepth insight into the technicalside of how a tripod works andwhat we should be looking forwhen making a purchase. Peteralso explained and demonstrated Archiving to TapeWhilst I agree wholeheartedly withKevin's thoughts on archiving (FocusJuly issue) the problem obviously alsoexists with the older formats such asU-matic which is becoming critical inmy experience. I have never recordedover tapes and never disposed ofeither originals or masters,consequently I have around 600 U-matic tapes of ages from 10 to 25years in my basement (constanttemperature, dry atmosphere).Naturally some tapes containimages which are of no interest toanyone, however some containnuggets which should really bearchived. My original U-matic editsuite is long gone, consigned when itstarted eating tapes, so I recentlyacquired two second-hand Sony9850s with the intention of archivingto digital tape. Within a short time thetwo machines gave up and needed anoverhaul. I was not surprised to findthat there were very feworganisations interested in servicingthese machines, that Sony had noservice manuals and could offer noVinten’s Perfect Balance systemand I have to admit that afterbeing on a two camera shoot atthe weekend I was fortunate touse a Vision 6 with a Sony 390on top with two IDX batteries,and Sennheiser receiver and itwas bliss! Finger tip control inany direction.A range of five tripods were ondisplay including the latestPro6HDV and the relevant priceswhen the product arrives in the UKin August. Pro-6HDVF (systemwith floor spreader = £540 list,Pro-6HDVM (system with the newmid-level spreader) = £565 listand Pro-6HDV (Head only) = £310list. The new mid-level spreaderon its own has a £150 list price.advice on where to get one.Fortunately an IOV contact, PaulRussell of Paisley, had a manual andallowed me to copy it, but I quicklyfound that the faults were above mypay grade. Another IOV contactcame to the rescue, MVS Video inFolkestone, who were willing and ableto get both machines workingproperly.Next came the tapes. Someworked, some didn't, with nodiscernable logic to the problem.Some of the most aged (low band)would zip through with no trouble, yetmore recent SP tapes would jam ornot play at all.By scouring the internet I foundthat there is something called "BinderHydrolysis" which affects some tapes.This is some kind of drying out of thelubricating tape layer causingjamming. I spoke to the British FilmInstitute video archiving section whosaid they also have this jammingproblem on U-matics. They use atape cleaning machine (veryexpensive) followed by a bakingprocess, which allows recovery of theThis is the tripod that IOVmembers helped develop byanswering the questionnairewhich was distributed some timeago. For those amongst us usingthe smaller HDV and Mini DVcameras this tripod is certainlyworth considering. The pricesquoted above are list whichmeans there will be room fornegotiation with your preferreddealer. Anyone wishing info onthis product or any other in therange can contact Peter atPeter.Harman@VitecGroup.comTwo members have benefitedfrom the meeting because Peterhas kindly offered them a loan ofthe tripod to test in the field beforethey make their decision.

Simple design simply works,and works well! Complicatedweb site design can quicklymake visitors confused, andmake them unclear of thepurpose or message of thesite. Badly designed sitenavigation, which isn’tintuitive, can quickly turnaway a potential customerthat will never return. Goodand simple design solvesproblems in the mosteloquent ways – whether it isthe design of a product, abrochure or a web site.Web design is a mix of visualdesign (the graphics, fonts,photographs and videos) andtechnical design (the coding andprogramming). A good web siteshould be like a swan glidingeffortlessly across the water(while its feet are paddling awaylike crazy under the surface!).The technical stuff should notbecome visible, and shoulddefinitely stay ‘under the water’!It’s a bit like good editing and goodsound on a video - it adds to theviewer’s experience and doesn’tget in the way of the message orstory. Bad web design, like badvideo editing, doesn’t only ‘get inthe way’ it really irritates and turnspeople away.Good web design isessentially keeping to a fewdesign principles: keep itsimple, clean, easy to read andunderstand, and user friendly –which not only has benefits fromthe user’s point of view, but canhelp in getting the site ranked inthe search engines.The design of the site has ahuge influence on the visitor’sperception of your company andits services.

Theworst examples are sites that aredifficult to navigate, or out ofdate, have missing pages, orstrange enigmatic errormessages, or don’t have anycontact details available.So why are there so manybad web sites around? Myfeeling is that in the past websites were not looked upon as thepowerful marketing tool that theyare, but as something that you‘must have’ if you are in business –because everyone else had one!So it’s not surprising that theresults are sites of poor qualitythat don’t achieve anything – otherthan giving a bad impression.Today all businesses have theopportunity to use the web forachieving set goals. It isimportant to ask some questionsbefore the design process evenstarts - “What is the purpose ofthe web site? How are we goingto achieve the goals, and howcan we measure theeffectiveness of the site? Andhow can we measure its returnon investment?”With these guidelines inplace, the designer can worktowards an informed designwhich has a defined purpose andmeasurable targets.Real sales opportunities can bemissed through a site that has nopurpose or function.

Just over two years ago Icompleted my firstcommercial wedding video.The client was related to acolleague at work and Ireceived a modest sum for myservices. I had filmedweddings for friends and wasprobably the archetypal‘Uncle Harry’ except that Iused a tripod and have been‘pottering around’ with thecraft since my first weddingin the 1970s shot on Kodaksuper 8mm film as a student.So you can guess my age!Bringing you up to speed - onSunday 13th May, as the officialvideographer of Truro City FC, Ihad the pleasure of beingsandwiched between Sky SportsNews and BBC Spotlight camerason the main gantry at the newWembley Stadium and I’m in theprocess of releasing a doubleDVD of the weekend.Measuring UpMy journey from hobbyist to,well… professional, is inextricablylinked to my involvement withthe IOV which I joined at thetime of shooting the weddingvideo.I thought I was theproverbial ‘bees knees’ with agood intuitive grasp of cameracraft and video editing until Isent in an edit of the wedding asmy 15-minute assessment forMaster Membership of the IOV. Iwas slated by the team ofassessors and was shocked whenI received my assessment reportwith a mark in the 50s – a longway short of the 70% pass mark.I should say at this point,that I do not own any of theequipment that I use. In myprevious school, a Bedfordshireupper comprehensive, I hadaccess to a Canon XM1 and a PC.Over a three-year period, I madea video diary of my year groupfrom their first day in Year 9 allthe way through to the end ofYear 11.At my current independentschool in the west country, Ihave managed, over the pastthree years, to persuade theHeadmaster to invest in filmmaking. I film all the 1st XVhome rugby fixtures, the mainmusic concerts and theatreproductions using a Canon XL1sand run a weekly workshop for ahandful of pupils. I edit on a G5AppleMac using FCP Studio andDVStudioPro4. The proceedsfrom the sales of DVDs to thepupils have enabled me topurchase accessories such as arain jacket, leads, interviewmicrophone and decent speakersfor my computer.Second AttemptMy second assessment attemptwas six months later and wasjust 2 marks shy of a pass. Thistime I made a short promo videofor the Devon and CornwallConstabulary who use our schoolon a Saturday morning for theiractivities-based programme toget alongside youngsters in thecommunity.The improvement madebetween the two assessmentswas largely due to my attendanceat a 3-day IOV VideoSkillsCameracraft, Sound and Lightingcourse at Coleshill. The courseprovided me with a superbintroduction to the basics, with aninteresting blend of theory andpractice. It was run by formerBBC cameramen (John Williamsand Gerry King) who clearly knewtheir stuff. Their experienceoozed out of every pore.It didn’t take long for thepenny to drop. It dawned on methat all these years I had beenlittle better than a ‘Dixons man’to use Gerry’s term! I had reliedtotally on the auto settings forexposure, focus and whitebalance and was missing out onthe opportunity to film eyecatching,creative shots. Untilthen I couldn’t tear up the rulebook because I didn’t even knowwhat the rules were! I vaguelyknew about the rule of thirds interms of the horizontal, but itnever dawned on me that itapplied to the vertical as well. Ialso had never appreciated theneed to allow for movementspace ahead of objects or peoplein motion. I had never reallygiven enough time to shotcomposition.I left Coleshill with a realhunger to develop my interest invideography and a desire toshake off the hobbyist mantel. Iwent home with some excellentteaching notes under my armand experiences of mini-projectfilming that I hoped would standme in good stead.A bit of One-on-OneHowever, for me, the realbreakthrough came when Isigned up for a one-to-oneVideoSkills course with PhilWilson. There is no substitutefor personal tuition. I wasoffered a bespoke programmethat reflected my work at schooland my desire to embrace thewedding market in Cornwall.Phil was as thorough as hewas professional and we wereable to complete everything thatI needed (and more) into thetime set aside. Like myexperience at Coleshill, there wasan excellent blend of personaltuition and practical experience.16 August 2007 Focus Magazine www.iov.com

ArticlePhil began by looking at myCanon XL1s and made someastute (to me at least)observations about the settingsthat I used, before putting meright. He took one look at mytripod and told me to throw itaway and get a decent one.I then asked him for hishonest opinions on the two DVDsthat I had submitted for the IOVassessments. He was brutallyhonest in his runningcommentary, pointing out how Icould have improved shots,angles and edits, etc. Phil did asimilar hatchet job on my rugbyfilms and concerts.The following day we didsome of the activities that wereset – like filming Phil walkingfrom his house to the town –which proved to be more difficultthan I had anticipated. However,what I really appreciated was Philthen filming me on the return legback to the house and comparingthe two reels.Work ExperienceThe bespoke and flexible natureof the course included Phil’swedding course which coveredevery aspect from filming thehairdressing session at thebride’s house to the finaleshowreel set to music. Weliterally went through everyaspect of the wedding day,anticipating the likely problemsand pitfalls along the way. Itwas helpful to see Phil’s expertfootage montage from numerousweddings filmed over the yearsand edited to reflect the differentstages of the day.There were so many insightsthat I gained from the maestro.My note book didn’t take long tofill. We explored audio andlighting, we spoke about depth offield and story telling, weddingetiquette and copyright. A-Zvideography.The added bonus was theopportunity to film the match ofthe season at the KC Stadiumbetween Hull City and LeedsUnited with Phil and his crew. Alocal derby to end all derbies!The game was all ticket, theatmosphere electric and Phil washopeful of a victory against theold enemy.We set up two hours beforekick off and in Phil’s pre-matchbriefing introduced me as one ofhis students, saying that hewasn’t expecting much from meand anything I got would be abonus. First half I was up in thegantry, second half pitch side.0:0 at half time, my back-uptape would not be required.Second half - a different story.I set up my camera in linewith the 18 yard box, into whichthe Tigers hoped to score, on thesame side as Phil - who wasnearer the halfway line. In theend, Hull City came out victorswith a 1:0 victory. Not only did Iget John Parkin’s (‘the beast’)great header from across on thefar side, but the playerscelebrated right in front of meand I got that in the can as well!Unfortunately, just as Hull Cityscored, Phil was changingcameras and just about to trialthe new JVC camera that KevinO’Malley has loaned him. So Philmissed out on the goal and myhumble footage was used forreplays on the monthly DVD andat the players’ end of seasonmeal. I’d got the bug! Footballalways used to be my first loveas a player (ex Southern League,London University and all that)now I had a vision for combiningfootball and videography.Third Time LuckyTwo months later, during mysummer holiday, I gained acommission to make a short DVDfor the local police on criminaldamage in the community foruse in schools. I used it as mythird and final attempt to gainMaster Membership with the IOVin the October 2006 sitting - andI finally achieved what I wasaiming for. The DVD waslaunched in a local youth caféwith the ITV West Country Newsand the West Briton newspaperin attendance. I think I watchedevery local news bulletin on theday it made the TV.Further StudySince then I have read widely(including the Video Shooter byBarry Braverman which I havefound the most useful) andpurchased a set of Apple trainingDVDs to get my teeth into duringmy school holidays. And,whereas once I was regularly onthe IOV forum asking for help forthe simplest of things, I am nowmore likely to be the one offeringadvice. I have hooked up withPhil at the IOV Exhibition anddone a couple of assists at StMary’s (Southampton FC – myhome team) and Home Park(Plymouth Argyle).The Truro City connectionwas easy to forge. I simplyoffered my services for one ofthe earlier rounds againstNewcastle Benfield havingmanaged to persuade the club toerect a temporary tower on thehalf way line. Trips to Whitehawk(Brighton) and Curzon Ashton(Manchester) followed, butnothing could compare with thelong Wembley weekend. To walkout on the sacred turf with theboys was truly emotional; and tocome out as victors and then filmthem from the open deck bus inTruro the next day, was justunbelievable.I just hope that I am able tochart Truro City’s progress nextseason in the Western PremierLeague and beyond. The dreamis football league status in thenext 7-years. It is not a wildpipedream. We have beendubbed the Chelsea of the nonleaguebecause of our multimillionairechairman KevinHeaney (Cornish Homes), whofeatures annually on the DailyTelegraph rich list.The MoralI guess the moral of this story isthat if you fail your IOVassessment, try and try again!Like me, you will learn somethingabout the craft and, moreimportantly, something aboutyourself. If you have not appliedfor assessment - do it! Don’texpect to pass first time - justuse it as a means of obtaining atruly unbiased and unemotionallyattached critique ofyour work.

Last month, Stuart Little’sreview of the Sony V1 againstthe Sony Z1, A1 and JVCGYHD101E concentratedpredominately on outrightpicture performance, but thisis not the only criteria to beconsidered when choosing acamera. Having used a widevariety of HDV cameras in mycapacity as VideoSkills tutor Iwould like to stress theimportance of ergonomicsand usability.First of all let me come clean.Whereas I appreciate theimprovements to picture qualitybrought about by HDV, I do notbelieve that the cameras beingfoisted on us by themanufacturers are ideal. Thereis certainly one criticism that canbe levelled at all sub £5000camcorders – the poor quality ofthe LCD viewfinders. Anyprofessional videographerworking to high standards willneed to take full manual controlof focus and exposure, but to dothis they must be fed accurateinformation and I am afraid thatthis is universally lacking. Thecombination of black and whiteCRT viewfinder and LCD flip outscreen is, in my mind, the idealcombination, but to get this youhave to spend in excess of £8000and settle for standard definitionwith the Sony DSR 450. Theseare fantastic cameras but out ofthe price range of manymembers - so lets take a look atthe sub £5000 market and thecompromises that will have tobe made.Compromise OneThe ViewfinderBeing used to high quality blackand white CRT viewfinders onbroadcast cameras I find the LCDcolour/black and whiteviewfinders on the sub £5000HDV cameras not fit for purpose.Definition, contrast ratio,brightness and response rate arewell down on what would benecessary to feed the operatorwith sufficient information tomake accurate judgements whenmanually adjusting focus andexposure. Highlights tend tobleach out, shadows becomedarker than they actually are andany sharp camera pans(particularly when zoomed in)will result in blurring. As mycore business is football, wheresome teams wear white, halfthe pitch is bathed in sunlightwhile the other is in shadowand where fast panning tofollow the ball is the norm, thispretty much means thesecameras are useless.Compromise TwoThe Viewfinder (again)With the exception of the CanonXL HI that has a large (highlymagnified and blocky) viewfindernegating the need for a flip outscreen, the HDV cameraviewfinders are designed in sucha way that you cannot seeanything unless you press youreye tightly into the rubber cup.For most applications this isnot a problem but, once again,as far as football and other fastmoving sport is concerned thisintroduces difficulties, as much ofthe match will often be spentwith the eye 2 or 3 inches awayfrom the viewfinder. Thisenables the cameraman tosearch for the ball in a widerframe than that afforded by theviewfinder. A flip out screen is of18 August 2007 Focus Magazine www.iov.com

Articlelittle help in this situation beingdifficult to see in sunlight, havinga narrow viewing angle and isoften fixed to one side of thecamera that makes it impossibleto view at certain times.Compromise ThreeFocus GearingThe JVC GY HD 100/200 seriescamera is unique in having aproper, professional lens withfocus, zoom and exposure ringsexactly where a professionalwould want them to be. Withregard to focus, there aredistance markings on the lensbarrel and manual adjustment issmooth, quick and easy – orrather it would be if theviewfinder was of sufficientquality to let you see when youare actually in focus! This is aproblem exacerbated in the otherHDV cameras by the fact thatthere are no distance markers onthe barrel and the only distanceinformation you will get in theviewfinder will disappear onceyou stop adjusting the focus ring.If this was not bad enough, thegearing of the focus ring makesaccurate adjustment extremelydifficult taking several turns, forinstance, to go from 0.5 metresto 10 metres, but merely theslightest twitch to go from 20metres to infinity. If you findyourself on full zoom in low lightwith a shallow depth of field,quick, manual focusing becomesalmost impossible. The cameramanufacturers make great playof various gimmicks to help youto focus, e.g. focus assist,peaking, zoom focus, etc. but,frankly, these tend to work inideal conditions when you leastneed them and not work at allwhen you do!Compromise FourBalanceWith the exception of the JVC GYHD 100/200 series that is a verywell balanced shoulder mountedcamera, the sub £5000 HDVcameras are designed as handheld units. Almost universallythey are difficult to hold steadyfor prolonged periods and theplethora of different supportsystems offered as accessories istestament to problemsencountered by users.The worst offenders are, notsurprisingly, the larger models,the Z1 and the Canon XL H1 -but the Sony A1’s audio modulealso makes this relativelylightweight camera front heavywhen compared to the domesticversion of the same camera.Compromise FiveErgonomicsIn relation to broadcast cameras,these cameras are small andconsequently the placement ofcontrols is a problem for themanufacturer. www.iov.com Focus Magazine August 2007 19

Articlelenses with the Canon having theability to use stills camera lenses- but beware! The JVC’s abilityto use ½ inch lenses (via anadapter) does not extend to thelens found on the popular SonyDSR 300, and the lens sold asstandard on the Canon EOS 400Dstills camera will not fit theCanon XL H1.In some instances, controls thatshould be readily accessible aremoved to menu operations andin other cases they are scatteredaround the body in an illogicalmanner that invites errors fromeven experienced operators.Even the relatively large JVCGY HD 100/200 is not immunefrom this with its audio controlsspread over 3 locations and withthe volume controls situated fartoo close to the record button onthe left hand side of the body(and, yes, this has alreadycaught me out when Iaccidentally turned off the soundas I hit record!).The number of similarmistakes being made by peoplecoming on the VideoSkillstraining courses indicates thatthis is an area that themanufacturers really do need tolook at. Do we really need allthose ‘assign’ buttons? And whaton earth is the point of that bigauto-iris adjustment wheel onthe Canon XL series?Compromise SixPoor Low LightPerformanceEven in HDV mode thesecameras produce poor images inlow and difficult lightingconditions. Vertical smearing islikely off bright objects (even ifthey are not in frame), coloursare washed out and definition willdeteriorate quicker than with anequivalent standard definitioncamera. Auxiliary lighting willhave to be introduced at a muchearlier stage.Compromised ChoiceSo after venting my frustrations,which sub £5000 HDV camera,would I choose? If I was settingup a part-time wedding businessI think the Sony A1 represents agood value for money choice andwould make a good sparecamera when the time comes toupgrade. If I was going into fulltime videography I would regardthe Sony V1 a good startingpoint.I prefer the V1 to the Z1 as it issmaller, lighter, easier to handleand has a 20x as opposed to a12x zoom. Any difference inpicture quality is, in my opinion,so marginal as to be irrelevant.Ergonomically the V1 is better.For serious work it has to bethe JVC GY HD 200 series overthe 100 series due to its ability torecord HDV in 50p rather thanthe jerky 25p of the cheapermodels.I regard the Canon XL H1 asoverpriced and unwieldy, butCanon do at least offer a highquality black and whiteviewfinder as an option -although the price is guaranteedto put most off buying. Bothcameras boast interchangeableMy ChoiceMy own money has recently goneon a JVC GY HD 200/E, butdespite being HDV it will remainmost definitely third choicebehind my standard definitionSony DSR 500 and 570. The twoSony cameras out perform theJVC by a considerable margin ineverything other than thenumber of lines the picture ismade up from. They are easierto control, have all the featuresyou will need, have 2/3 inchrather than 1/3 inch chips,produce more vibrant colours,better contrast, perform better inlow light, produce extremelysharp standard definition picturesand take 3-hour tapes. If I had£5000 and needed a singlecamera to cover all aspects ofvideography, then my moneywould go on a good used SonyDSR 570 or, better still, a DSR450 if I could find one.Frankly, the hype surroundingHDV annoys me. Too manycompromises have been madewith regard to manual control ofkey functions and members aresuccumbing to the temptation toswitch to auto. This could beinterpreted as the manufacturersleading a ‘dumbing down’ of ourindustry and I for one see this asa lack of respect towards IOVmembers. Hopefully, the newIOV qualification system will gosome way to rectifying this. Therevolution in the perception ofour industry will not come aboutthrough HDV, it will happen onlywhen members take full controlof their cameras and acquire theproduction skills necessary to reproducebroadcast standards ofcamerawork, sound, lighting,editing and above all - storytelling. To help us achieve thismulti-tasking nirvana I feel thecamera manufacturers couldserve us better!

In Issue 150 (July 2007) Ireviewed Sony’s Cinescore1.0 - a piece of music creationsoftware that automaticallygenerates complete customsoundtracks forvideographers who requireroyalty-free music to enhanceand enrich their work. It wasapparent to me as I rereadthat review that I reallyenjoyed working with thisprogram, and subsequentlyreviewing the Theme Packshas also been a pleasure.The five packs are:‘Pass the Ring’ (The WeddingSoundtrack library); ‘IncredibleVistas’ (Visual and EmotionalPanoramas); ‘The IdealVacation’ (Music for Life); ‘HighTech World’ (Kinetic Tracks); and‘Adrenaline Surge’ (High EnergyLifestyle). In this issue I shall belooking particularly at ‘Pass theRing’.A Reminder of HowCinescore WorksVideographers select a basictheme; either a preinstalledtheme or one from the fiveavailable Theme Packs and thenthe Cinescore music generationengine creates music that can beshaped to fit. Once activatedyou can then select and adaptyour Sony Theme Packs musicalofferings almost infinitely. Themusic’s time and tempo,intensity, variation and repetitioncan be easily adjusted down toframe level accuracy to createthe necessary soundtrack untilyou are happy with thearrangement of the piece andhave timed it to fit your videoproduction.So What do you getfor your Money?A quick search of the Internethas priced each of the ThemePacks at £65. For that you getten different themes designed tocomplement wedding videos.‘Pass the Ring’ contains classicalcompositions by Bach,Mendelssohn, Pachelbel,Schubert and Wagner, andcontemporary selections bySabre Entertainment artistsLoren Gold, Michael Summ, OlegSchramm and Dan Solovitz.Here’s a little more info on the‘Pass the Ring’ compilation.Air on the G StringOne of the most recognisable ofBach’s masterworks, “Air on theG String” receives a multiinstrumenttreatment on thisvery flexible Cinescore Theme.Choose from organ, strings,piano, harpsichord, and musicbox variations, or select a host ofensembles for a more full bodiedcomposition.Ave MariaNo classical selection provides amore glorious entrance for thebride than Franz Schubert’s “AveMaria.” Piano and woodwindvariations, along with 10 Moodchoices, provide you with subtleand enchanting options.Cut the CakeSweets to the sweet. The soundof authentic 1970’s style discogives “Cut the Cake” that classicparty vibe. Dial in funk guitarsand a number of alternate drumand percussion combinations andachieve the precise energy levelneeded to score your reception.Double Plus PolkaStrike up the band and preparethe dance floor. “Double PlusPolka” is an up-tempo ditty thatfeatures traditional polkainstrumentation like tuba,accordion and woodwinds in awide array of variations. Theperfect Theme for your video’smore comedic moments.Here Comes the BrideThe bride’s processional is thevisual and emotional high pointof any wedding video, so it’simportant to have many differentmusical options at the ready.This rendition of “Here Comesthe Bride” comes with fifteendifferent variations to fine tunethe moment and give the brideexactly what she’s looking for.Jesu, Joy of Man’s DesiringAnother standard for the bridalparty processional, “Jesu, Joy ofMan’s Desiring” reveals itself inthis Cinescore Theme with smallgroup, large group and soloinstruments. Choose fromharpsichord and pianofoundations, and then build upadditional textures to dramaticeffect.Last DanceComplete with glockenspiel,harp, flute, and piano variations,“Last Dance” swirls and buildswith romantic majesty to deliverjust the right music for yourvideo’s tender interludes. Perfectfor slow dance montages andpost-ceremony highlights.Pachelbel’s Canon“Pachelbel’s Canon” has longsignalled the commencement ofthe wedding ceremony.Cinescore allows you to shapethis essential wedding piece inways you never thought possible,with fifteen variations and fivedistinct Moods.The ProposalSmooth sax breaks and electricpiano melodies make “TheProposal” your go-to Theme forblack tie moments andchampagne toasts. Call up oneof the ‘live’ moods to add a bitmore energy to your soundtrack.Wedding MarchOnce the vows and rings havebeen exchanged, it’s time tohead back down the aisle and offto the reception. The ceremonial“Wedding March” is thesuperlative choice for yourrecessional music - no videoshould be without it.ConclusionI believe that ‘Pass the Ring’ hassomething practical to offer,whatever your weddingproduction experience - as thissoftware can provide you with asound score with the flexibility tomodify unique, royalty-freecustom soundtracks very quickly.The multiple variationsavailable allow you to adapt eachselection so thatyou canaccentuate thegrand momentswith crescendos,or soften themood right down.Once again it isworth noting thatwhile Cinescore is a standaloneproduct, when someone has itinstalled on a machine along withSony Vegas, it will act as a 'plugin'in Vegas.Cinescore is a powerfulmusical composing tool, but forme it is the Theme Packs thatbring it to life. ‘Pass the Ring’does was it says on the box - itproduces high quality royaltyfreemusic for weddingproductions!

Part 13 - NetworkingI hope last month’stechnically-based articlewasn’t too much for you.Anyway, I’m getting back tomore familiar Cookie-territorythis month with a look atnetworking and the role thatit plays in developing yourbusiness.In previous articles you’veheard a lot about ‘networking’from me, but what does it reallymean? It’s generally commonsense, but there are aspects ofnetworking which might not beimmediately apparent.Nevertheless I’m going to dealwith all aspects of industry-basednetworking. You might betempted to skip this month’sinstalment - but please don’t.It’s probably those that thinkthey know all the opportunitiesthat are missing the chance tocapitalise on this easy way toexpand your business.Sole TradersOne of the drawbacks ofvideography is that you’ll oftenbe working in isolation.Camerawork is not somethingthat you can do whilst happilychatting away with yourworkmates or colleagues.Editing is the same, in that it’ssomething that you have toexclude yourself from externalinterferences to enable you toconcentrate on the job in hand.The truth is that videography,in its purest form, is a solitarytrade. The end product willgenerally be created by anindividual or small team ofpeople. Compare this to abuilding site – where allcraftsmen work alongside eachother (though not alwaysharmoniously) and generallybenefit from their contact andexchange with each other. Youdon’t even have to move that faraway from videography towitness a collaborative market asboth the film and TV productionindustries will be made up ofliterally hundreds of associatedcraftsmen brought together toachieve a single end product.They will often cross-promoteeach other or at the very leasthave a team of complimentarytradesmen that they would preferto work with.Videography simply doesn’thave the same networkingpotential. It’s therefore verydifficult for the videographer tonetwork on the job. There are, ofcourse, exceptions to this (multicamerashoots and collaborativeprojects) – but generally speakingthe only occasions where you’llget the opportunity to networkare industry-based events andmeetings – plus some of the lesspersonalised methods coveredlater on in this article.Can’t Mix – Won’t Mix!The videographer’s almosthermitic existence is not onlybecause of the nature of thework. There are some whochose not to mingle because ofan inherent distrust of thecompetition. The fear of havingtheir clients stolen, or havingothers tap into what someconsider as unique knowledge orinformation, keeps some of youfirmly locked away in your ownlittle world. I’m not saying thatevery videographer is like this –but I’m also sure that there willbe some reading this that’llrecognise themselves and others.I’m also sure that there aresome videographers who are thisway not because of any fears ofbusiness espionage, but morebecause they are the introvertedcreative sort who find socialinterchange far too intrusive ordemanding. Again, not allcreative people are this wayinclined, but there’s astereotypical type who will findface-to-face communication alltoo much.Having now completelydecimated the good character ofmost of the industry, I hope toconvince even the most lost ofcauses that networking withothers in your trade can deliverboth financial and creativerewards.There are opportunities tomix – you just have to putyourself out a little. www.iov.com Focus Magazine August 2007 23

ArticleKnow your Enemy!The competition-fear factorkeeps quite a few IOV membersaway from local IOV events –and indeed any event whereothers in the industry gather. Ipersonally think this is a shame –and not only because it stopsmembers from benefiting fullyfrom their membership. Acommon objection to going toIOV meetings is that they are fullof newcomers wanting to drainevery last drop of information outof those with more experience.To be honest, you can’t blamethem. As long as they start toshare that information withothers then the ‘big’ wheel keepsturning. After all – who did youlearn your skills from?If you feel this way and don’tmix because of it, please thinkagain as you are missing anopportunity. These ‘sponges’ aregoing to be soaking up theinformation from other sources,if not from you, so you might aswell position yourself in theirminds as some sort of industryguru. My experience is thatthese people are likely to passwork your way when they comeacross something they can’thandle. You will also find thatevery now and then you’ll have ajob that requires extra hands -and extra cheap hands that areeager to learn!Above all, the benefit ofinteracting with those with lessexperience is that you’ll get theopportunity to guide them downa path which ultimately willbenefit your business. Sharinginformation with them on whatyou charge is especiallybeneficial because at least theywill know what fees they shouldbe charging once adequatelyexperienced. They’ll only get thisinformation from other sourcesanyway – such as posing as apotential client and prising it outof you that way. Be upfront withit but also take the opportunityto explain why you charge whatyou do. The more videographersout there charging a realistic feethe better it is for all of us.At the very least, knowing alittle more about yourcompetitors’ businesses shouldenable you to improve your own.So you Think youKnow it All?Whilst I can sympathise with thevideographer who does notnetwork through fear of losingbusiness, what I have greatdifficulty in understanding is thevideographer who believes theyhave nothing to learn fromanyone else. The dreaded knowit-all!Probably even morefrustrating are the know-it-allswho do network and constantlyshare their opinion on just abouteverything – regardless ofwhether it’s wanted or not.These people have the capacityto make me lose the will to live!Believe me you don’t know allthere is to know about thisindustry and I doubt there isanyone who does. Everyproduction will present you withdifferent challenges – be ittechnical, creative or business –so at some point you willdefinitely need to lean onsomeone else. You have ears soplease use them sometimes!Online NetworkingAs there were fears that TVwould kill off Radio, there’s asimilar fear that the Internet willkill off the need to have face-tofacecommunication. I mean,why travel to an event just tomeet people when you can sit onyour backside and get the samething? Sorry guys – but youcan’t.I’m a great believer in theInternet and all that it does. Ithink support forums andwebsites are great for gettingand sharing a range of opinionson technology and the craft. TheIOV’s forums are themselves agreat example of how an industrycan interact and exchange ideasand experiences. The IOVforums prove time and timeagain that they also provide anexcellent means of sharing work.But are they the be all and endall of networking? I don’t thinkso. They are just one of thenetworking tools available to us.The strongest bonds betweenpeople in the industry are bornthrough social interchange. Youwork and share work with peoplewho you like, respect and trust –and whilst the Internet is great forbreaking the ice and making initialcontact, its drawback is that it’s afaceless medium. A clearerunderstanding can be gained byconsidering online datingagencies. Whilst these agenciesare rife and, so I’ve heard,successful in bringing peopletogether, eventually you are goingto have to face that online profileacross a breakfast table!Before you think thatwebcams will provide for thisshortfall, think again!Teleconferencing facilities havebeen around for donkey’s yearsand whilst they have their place,they have never caught on to theextent that they replace the needfor real-life exchanges. Skype isa great example. Lots of peoplehave Skype, and many of themhave a webcam attached – butmost only chose to engage theirwebcam with those who theyalready have a good socialrapport with.Getting back to purekeyboard or text networking overthe Internet or even mobilephone text, one of the commonproblems with it is that it’s soeasy to be misunderstood. Atleast half of your communicationwill be achieved by your bodylanguage and facial expression.This shortcoming has seen thegrowing use of Smilies andEmoticons. According Wikipedia,an Emoticon is “a small piece ofspecialized ASCII art (usually twoto five characters, always on asingle line) used in textmessages as informal markup toindicate emotions and attitudesthat would be conveyed by bodylanguage in face-to-facecommunications.”Call me old fashioned – butisn’t this just an admission thatthis type of communication doesnot always achieve the desiredresult? After all, goodcommunication is all about the‘Message Received’ and not the‘Message Sent’! ;o)Networking RoundupSo, what can you do to increaseyour networking activities? Theanswer to this is anything andeverything that extends yourcontacts within the industry.Get online and participate inforum discussions – but at thesame time understand theirlimitations. Go to local andnational trade events and mingle.If you discover that a newvideography business has sprungup in your home town orneighbourhood, make contactwith them. Find out if they areoffering something that you don’t– or vice versa – and suggest abit of cross-trading orcollaboration. If you are a guestat a wedding or an event andthere’s a videographer workingthere – say hello!I’m sure that most of you doall of this and more, but I alsosuspect that there are some inthe industry who are happilytucked away under their hoodiesoblivious to the opportunitiesthey are missing! Kevin Cook F.Inst.V.Next month: I’ll be looking atCustomer Care next month, andhow to exceed your client’sexpectations. I hope to revealhow a tug of the old forelock cando wonders for your bottom line!24 August 2007 Focus Magazine www.iov.com
