I generally have my right hand in the strap, and my left underneath the camera so I can use my middle finger to adjust the focus/zoom/iris rings. I have a Steadicam Merlin plate attached at all...

Just curious, what do you use for the rubber pads? I was thinking maybe cut-out sections from a bike tire tube, but that may be to thin?

I'm excited to watch your video, but I have to leave to...

Nice job. Have you ever experimented with getting shots of the wedding party from different times during the day? I think that would make it even more interesting.

Talk to a government auditor and an accountant before you make any decisions. It's not worth risking fines and fees for doing it wrong.

Lesson learned for both of us. I've always just worked with whichever one seemed to be "in charge". After your story, I think I'll be sure and talk to both in the future. Good luck!

I'm curious about the part "because I didn't really charge much". So was this something you did at a reduced rate so you could try it out and have something to show future clients? Or are you...

Well, saying you hate Indian food isn't something I'd worry about your client seeing. I mean, do they like EVERY kind of food? Probably not. As long as you aren't saying bad things about people, I...

I guess I'm still confused. People keep mentioning "all of the problems" selling the raw footage can cause, but I'm not hearing any specifics. Honestly it sounds like a lot of irrational fear to...

I guess I make it a point to watch what I say if my camera is rolling. I would recommend you do the same just to be safe.

Without a straight-up test it's hard to say, but I haven't had time for that. I would guess that the Bescor is maybe still a bit brighter on the 20w setting, although it's probably very close. On...
