It's a safe bet that I am absolutely the least knowledgeable person here when it comes to video production. I've been shooting concerts for a few years, first with a Sony DCR SR40, and lately with a Sony HDR SR12. I started filming because I'm a huge music nerd and I wanted to be able to throw in a dvd and watch the show again. Recently I've decided to make a doc on the early days of one of my favorite bands. I plan on buying a NX5 within a few weeks and getting started.

As far as what I've previously done, it's novice to be sure, but you can take a look here if you're interested in bootleg concert video's.

No tripod, not sure what I'm doing, shaky concerts of my favorite bands. But soon, soon I shall make amazing things.












I hope.


And sorry in advance for the massive pile of rookie questions I will unleash upon you all.

You've been warned :)



**EDIT** Oh, and the only thing that I've filmed and edited myself is this video for some friends band. If you enjoy metal, then take a listen. And keep in mind, I've never made a video of any kind before this. I just filmed and edited it and threw it out there. I don't think it was terrible, but I know I have a LOT of room to grow.

Hello Ryan,

Welcome to DVInfo.net.
You have found a great source of wisdom. :)

Good luck with your film project. Sounds interesting.

Thanks! I plan on utilizing this forum to the fullest extent!

**EDIT**

Oh, and if someone could let me know why I can't post in the Private Classifieds section, I'd appreciate it. I read through the FAQ and I imagine I missed it. Do I need a certain post count? I'm looking for a docking station for a DCR-SR40 is all. Thanks!

Do I need a certain post count?


You do, indeed, need a certain post count, or is it time from first posting, hmm, simply can't remember, anyway, one or the other, it will happen automatically when it happens.

Enjoy DVinfo.

My Nx5 came today. i've been shooting a little bit of test footage, trying to get used to it. I thought I'd shoot our dog in the yard......first thing he did was take a crap. So that's how I broke in my new cam! Doggy duece!
