Videography 101 - Intro to Video (DSLR Video)

Whether you want to direct the next award winning screenplay or simply document your vacations or children first steps, this class is made for you!

Video 101 is an Introductory Class that teaches new techniques to start using the video mode of your DSLR. The Video capabilities of your DSLR are now better than most video cameras that are meant for solely that. Once you are introduced and comfortable with it, you will have a fully loaded weapon around your neck, catching every photo and funny memory with camera and video! No more shaky videos!

This is the introductory class and it will cost $69. It will be a 3-hour introduction into videography. The purpose of this meetup is to learn useful techniques to improve your image taking abilities, and get a first-hand insight into the world of DSLR video.

Class time will be spent on covering the various aspect of videography with great tips and techniques to help make your story powerful!

After this class:

-You will know how to compose your image and deal with depth of field, movements or focal length.

-Understand the video settings of your camera.

-Get all the tips and tricks to create amazing videos!

Please make sure to join us for this upcoming event. I promise you will walk out with a big smile on your face.

All our welcome to come. Point-n-shoots , compact cameras and DSLRs as long as they have a video mode.

    found this blog about 24p vs 30pand found this interesting

    I, for one (recognizing I'm in the vast minority here), really like to work with 30p. If I'm working on a project destined solely for the web, I'll work in 30p probably 90% of the time; it creates really nice images that don't require deinterlacing for the web, preserving much more visual quality, and I think the cadence of 30p in the web world tends to look better than 24p. The stuttered look that you get from 24p (which is largely unavoidable--it's part of the "magic") really gets accentuated to an almost unpleasant degree, and the blur caused by the slower frame rate can also result in the compression for the web having to work a little harder--this usually necessitates a slightly higher bitrate to deal with the more dramatic differences between sharp parts of an image and blurred parts of an image.

    I've also used 30p for DVD and even broadcast work. What can I say--I just like it. Not every project calls for the "film look" (which goes way beyond just shooting in 24p), and sometimes its just inappropriate. I'd really suggest doing some shooting tests at the various framerates (24p, 30p, 60i) and comparing them. There are differences, but in my experience, the web tends to mitigate those difference a bit, particularly when working with video-sourced material versus film-sourced material.

    Is this a very basic class, or would someone with experience also benefit?
