Thanks,:) Hopefully it'll get me some where someday.

It's

"Beirut"- Nantes
off their album "the Fly Club Cup"

Thank you!
Please do check out my "newer" version of my demo reel.
I feel a little more comfortable with that one.:)

Thank you.
Hopefully i'll get better, eh?

i wouldn't be surprised. ;)

Aw. Thanks!
I'm sure you did though, when you were 16.
Your videos are amazing by the way.

When I was 16...let's see....I was...in a punk band, skateboarded all the time, thought liberty spikes were cool, hung out with boys, wanted to study psychology? hahaha. Oy vey I feel like such a geezer...that as like 6 or 7 years ago. haha.


you're going to make it.

seriously. :-) have a good day sir.

thanks, i use a
Canon HV20

I use an HV20, with a 35mmpro adapter with a Nikon Nikkor f/1.8D, that's it for lenses.

I then use 500watt lights you buy from home depot stores or hardware stores. With window curtains as diffuses.

Also i of course have a DIY dolly, and as for editing I use Adobe Premiere and Vegas Pro 8.
No CC. Except on the two still film shots of the chess pieces and dominoes (done i Vegas). Every other clip has no CC or Curves or anything, just raw.

All i can say is learn white balance haha
helps out alot to add different tints of 5600 and 3200. It gives it CC effects but is naturally raw.

Also the clip of the crib with the baby in the corner is a naked HV20, no lens, no CC, all raw.
Some people are amazed at the look from a naked HV20. So you can create good footage without lenses as well. I've seen some amazing footage without lenses.

And thank you so much but i am the farthest from pro, haha. Thanks though.It's nice to hear that.:)

and goodluck filming in Paris! Do post i would love to see your footage!If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Take care and goodluck Anthony.

Yes, Final Cut Pro is a very good choice. I find FCP and Adobe Premiere pretty much equivalent but i guarantee a hardcore Mac video fan would debate with me how adobe isn't as good. But to me they are same. From interface, to CC, editing, to exporting, etc. I use both and love neither. I hate rendering every small change you do to your video. That's why Vegas is another personal choice of mine. Vegas edits and handles footage with so much ease. It's all about personal preference when it comes to your equipment though, I use each software for specific reasons. If it gets the job done, and in a comfortable way for yourself then go for it. Have you used FCP?

I highly recommend FCP though. so good choice.:)
I would love to see some of that zoo footage sometime.

Take care Anthony.

Yes, it is a Static adapter. Thanks you Artofclip!
I appreciate you viewing my video. I did do a final edit though. If you see my videos i did a longer and finalized version of this video. Once again thanks.

Thanks Viperos. It's really motivating to hear that.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it! :)

yes all of it was shot on the hv20..Thanks Skyler!

Thanks man,
and yeah it's the adapter your seeing. Alot of this demo reel doesn't have the adapter though. Like the shot of the virgin mary, time lapse of cars, baby crib, chess & dominoe pieces,the guy walking at night, the girl holding the mandolin, and i think that's it. But yeah, it's the shallow depth that looks different.

And the adapter i use is a Twoneil 35mm Pro.:)

I use a 35mm adapter that does similiar things but not the M2. I use a DIY Twoenil 35mm Pro.But i do use Nikon lenses.:)

I think it may be hardware problems. How fast is your processor?
My laptop runs fast enough to edit with ease and no issues. I edit on a laptop. A HP Pavilian DV2000,with 4gb ram, 2.1 ghz AMD, with 64bit Vista.
My laptop doesn't hesitate one bit at all. So it may be your computer. I wish the best of luck to you.
