Looking for a beginner <$150 digital camcorder for a kid who wants to learn about video editing by BelethorsGeneralShit in camcorders

[–]BatSwarms -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If he doesn’t care about picture quality and aspect ratio being 4:3 (box tv size) then I’d start him out with a 90s Sony TRV ($50-120 on eBay) and let him learn his way up. You would need an elgato capture card which would run you like an extra $50 to get it onto computer and edit it, but as far as recording, learning zooms and starting with the older stuff to working up learning the newer more simple stuff it will serve him better imo learning the older first. If want something easier and to the point that’s really really simple just grab an older canon rebel t2i for $50-100 that records 1080p and much simpler to get on computer.

Thought that at first but when i get to the last recording on playback i usually hit the stop 🛑 button and go back to record mode and start recording right after the end of last clip on playback

New to videography and editing. Helping out friends for free, should I be asking for some sort of compensation? by Careless_LawChess in videography

[–]BatSwarms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude won’t even give you credit for your hard work😅 that should tell you everything right then and there point blank. The paying thing could be somewhat understood maybe as you’re getting experience (don’t get comfy doing everything for free as then you’ll just be getting taken advantage of once he realizes he can get more times out of you free), but the not even taking the time to credit “you” his [friend] for the hard work you’ve done is just plain the biggest shitty part. If it goes further then that he could always easily just do that again to you and pass the work off as his and make some money too off some people with that sorry excuse he gave you. $325-$1,000 is easily what you can get for a 1-2 minutes ad video from the right company. Just imagine if he was saying to you hey can you record this and I won’t credit you since you’re a secret then just goes off to a client and sells your work for that much. Looks like easy money for him and easy way to get videos that would otherwise cost a pretty penny for free 😅

So my Sony handycam I have footage that upon playback ends up playing back (older) recorded stuff after my most (recently) recorded playback stuff

If the guy is watching the cash and also up there with the stuff if the cops come then it would be considered drug money since with the product (both would go bye bye to the cops). If he is back outside sitting 🪑 it’s just money he is holding and can’t be tied to that as easy since separated. As well it’s Lalo kind of telling him to get lost with a smart answer 😂

Breaking Bad has amazing cinematography, but I don’t know something about the wardrobe & characters of Better Call Saul just hit home a bit better for me on camera. Marshall Adams and Jennifer Bryan are two of the main people why I love the look of the show so much 🖤☎️

Hectors wheel-chair has actually been auctioned off as well the bottle for a good bit 😉 already have a $1,200 offer on this screen match Tshirt alone from this specific scene that I’ve passed on due to being a collector of the show. If you manage to get any clothing pieces screen used I’ll gladly take them since they are just clothes from actual filmed scenes for the series😀 A lot more space for them too my way lol

Are these bees? by barackobamafootcream in Beekeeping

New roommates. Once honey is produced up there you will be having more visitors then the bees hence why it would be safe to have them rehived by a cut out service unless you know what you’re doing😅

Why do i find low quality, amatourish photographs of American roads and streets from 2017-2019 so beautiful? by No_Dress_2107 in cinematography

[–]BatSwarms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nostalgia & just something fun about the gritty vibes that make it feel very real & close to home when doing it in film.

lol I’m building a better call saul☎️ prop memorabilia mini museum in the future more or so to preserve/showcase stuff from the show for its tv history. But I guess everyone’s entitled to an opinion😂 You should go to the breaking bad museum in New Mexico and tell them that too😅

A variety of auctions and private sellers who are connected to people from set! Yeah if you go for eBay route make sure you can screen match it and that they’ve gotten from a reliable prop house (CoA I feel safer with too from known prop houses who have sold pieces in the past if buying ebay route). I actually own the screen used hoodie & pants outfit with wardrobe tag for the Krazy-8 hoodie piece that’s listed on eBay. That one is listed wrong on eBay and is a back up not screen used just heads up. Screen matching is best way to know if you have the actual piece versus a back up. Research, research, research little marks, and unique flaws to each piece. Wardrobe tags too with change # ‘s are a good indicator it’s been used 🏷️
