How To Get SHARP FOCUS - Manual and Remote Control Tricks and Tips
Here's two methods to get sharp focus every time - manually and with a remote. I also fail miserably at yet another subscribe message. *** p.s. If you're watching this and it looks bad (color), YouTube decided to add color correction to my Video. No!!! It should be undone in the next couple of minutes? Gesshhh! :) ***** p.s.s. Wow. I was able to undo YouTube's "helpful" edits. But now I have a weird glow around me. I used their editor as I wanted to trim the end down. Lesson learned - NEVER EVER USE THE YOUTUBE VIDEO EDITOR!

Stephen, a beginning filmmaker, really wanted to know how to shoot a YouTube episode. So, I flew across the country and showed him! :)

You might be just making talking head YouTube videos, soooo, why not keep it simple? Here's my simple color tip for videos: Use a color chart, look at the video in a scope, adjust camera settings, and once you've got it nailed, quit screwing with it and MAKE SOME VIDEOS! :)

Was being interviewed by Curtis Judd and his question stopped me in my tracks. Here's how to save a bazillion (is that a number?) hours, get back more time than you can shake a stick at, and GO CREATE SOMETHING! TON of info and stuff to spend money on in the description below! https://bit.ly/SubscribeToBasicFilmmaker
#basicfilmmaker #gear #wars
So there I am, being interviewed by Curtis Judd (sound and audio guy extraordinaire) and he asks me this question: "Mac or PC?"
Off I go into a rant (he was kind enough to listen for 10 minutes - seemed like 2 hours to me) about this whole subject. I hope when he posts this interview he cuts it down, but it's his video, so he'll do whatever he wants.
It occurred to me that maybe it hasn't occurred to other people who partake in this game of ME vs YOU, how much time they blow on arguing about what the other person should use (that they use) instead of just using all that time to get other stuff done.
DON'T PLAY THE GAME! :)

IF you're wondering why the heck I would send people AWAY from Basic Filmmaker University and somewhere else, it's because THIS IS THE COURSE I WANTED TO MAKE, and, IT'S JUST AWESOME.
I'm using this to teach my voice to be better, and the Voice Over Freedom course really did blow me away.
From a "I want to be a voice over artist" point, why would you NOT learn from someone who has 10 years in the business. It's simple, no B.S., straight to the point, and WORKS!

The Deity Microphones W.Lav Micro first look. In this quick test, I just slap the lav mic on. Will it sound good? What do you think? What do you want me to cover in the actual review? https://geni.us/PwjML

I've been really excited about Deity Microphone's new series of lav mics since I heard them last year at NAB 2019. I did a review of the Deity HD-TX Part One and have been holding off on doing a review of the Deity Connect kit until I could get my hands on these.
Having purchased 20 or ore lapel mics and not being satisfied with any of them totally, I was very impressed with the W.Lav Micro's low noise and GREAT sound quality.
Stay tuned as I'll be producing a HUGE video covering everything Deity has to offer in this line covering the entire Deity connect kit, the W.Lav micro and the W.Lav pro.
