DIY Music Video – Do it yourself!

With falling prices of digital cameras, and the rise of PC video editing programs, producing your own music video is definitely something most every musician can afford in those days. All you need is a digital video (DV) camera, DV tapes, a shooting position, a computer, editing software (Adobe Premiere ALA), and well, a band! Here are some tips for the information and important pieces of equipment.

First Room - You'll be better off buying a DV (DigitalVideo) camera is best for digital editing later. DV decent go for anything between $ 400 and $ 1200, and the tires are about $ 8 each. A camera, which I personally have used Canon GL2 MiniDV Digital Camcorder. I have nothing but good experiences with the camera. There are also settings for the novice user, and at the same time, it was a very beautiful and well-defined for the experts out there. Make sure the camera will shoot in progressive scan mode. Progressive scan is aparticular method to display images in which the rules of each frame to be towed. This will be the amount of blinking is reduced and when a decision on video recording. Most cameras with microphones attached to them, but probably will not want to sound from the microphone was recorded to be used, as it will be of low quality. I suggest you pick a minidisc recorder, run all your instruments into a mixer, which is located in that mindiscrecorder.

Second Shoot - you can easily add images from a video and hopefully you will use this fact! When you edit the video, you will have a story to tell. So many places would be excellent. If you can storyboard of the video before shooting locations, or exploration. This raises a million times easier, believe me. Another thing I would recommend would be to ensure you have adequate lighting. The ordinary domestic lighting is not captured by the cameraSimilarly, the eye picks it up. Suggest you pick up a book on the basics of video lighting, as you can. But if there is an option, remember one thing, more is better.

Third Editing - Get the videos yourself dragged away from the camera to the computer. Most DV came with a USB cable, you can stop. You can use the proprietary software that came with your computer is doing, or you can editing software they want to buysame thing. Most computers that are running Windows XP comes with Windows Movie Maker. This is a great program for beginners, allows you to drag images from the camera, and then said that the footage to edit. But it comes with a lot of editing features. So publishers more advanced, perhaps a few dollars in cash and Adobe Premiere, which is very flexible video editing program with a very steep learning curve buy. Advanced Mac users out there might need to check Final CutPro

Now that you have your material by which you want to tape or disk. The easiest thing to do is burn it to DVD, many publishers have the opportunity to do so. If you have a video on DVD, the possibilities are endless! I hope this article helped me to understand the music videos is not just for the pros, you can do yourself!
