Beach Walk 637 - How to Complainlt;/a> Complaining is very popular these days. Surprisingly, I am not altogether against it. It has a role to play in giving each other feedback on what's not working. I think we are more effective though when we apply a little consciousness to the task, instead of unfettered reactions. There are some funny commercials on DirecTV, though the one I just saw complaining about the customers doesn't appear to be posted just yet. I also blogged about messy customers too; "There is magic and millions in those messes." Bonus: Sunrise footage, Please welcome and check out our show sponsor, Primo Water.

Beach Walk 636 - Turn Off the Pressurelt;/a> One of my Twitter friends, @Akelatal, pointed me to a funny video the musician John Mayer did - a parody of himself. That led me to discovering that John had planned a tour this summer, expecting to have a new album. Well, no new album, but he is "still doing the tour"http://www.johnmayer.com/blog (see May 4th video), and seeing the one door closed is going to explore what might be behind another one. He didn't freak out and succumb to the pressure to create for some arbitrary reason. I just love that. Please welcome and check out our show sponsor, Primo Water.

This week, Christine (aka iheartmoustaches) breaks it on down and shows us how to use #6 plastic to create miniature moustaches! (Christine has made a bunch of these in the past, as she is a lover of the moustache in all its various forms.) #6 plastic is not recyclable in New York and so this is a great way to upcycle those strawberry containers and Chinese take out containers and keep them out of the landfill. This project is awesome for people who need a moustache on the go. MP4 | Youtube | Blip.tv | Subscribe in iTunes She s also open sourcing two of her moustache designs. You can download The Professor and The Lady s Man in this pdf We did some measuring and the moustaches started out 6 inches wide and ended up 2 1/4 inches wide. That means it shrunk to almost 1/3 its original size! Music by Barry London
There is something special about video that you can t get from writing or photographs. Seeing someone on video is more personal. I really want to see more links to videos on the Etsy site, so I m starting up this tutorial series to get you started making your own videos. Making videos gives the world a chance to see the personality and process behind the things you make. Let s start with some super cheap cameras. If you re wanting to make video on a budget, you have a few options. The simplest option is to use what you ve got. You may already have a video camera. Did you know that most digital photography cameras have a movie mode that takes great video? If you ve got one of these, you re done looking, start shooting! A lot of time you can even set these to 640 480 resolution which is good enough to make great web videos. If you re buying something, the cheapest option is to use a flip camera. These are pretty inexpensive and they are easy to use. The resolution isn t fantastic, but they are small and light and easy to carry around and shoot things with. If you re looking to step it up, the next level of video camera is a DV camera.You can find these for around 200-300 dollars. When you re looking for a camera, check to make sure that it s got a microphone jack and a headphone jack so that you can hook up an external mic and listen to the level of the sound as it s recording. Make sure your computer has a firewire port before getting one of these or you won t be able to transfer the video over. If you re feeling fancy, you can get an HD camera. You can get a camera like the Sony HC1 which records HD video to DV tape (little mini digital video cassette tapes). But my recommendation is that you skip recording to tape. I m in favor of using cameras that record straight to an SD Card, which is similar to the little card your digital still camera uses. If you ve got somewhere between $600 and $1000 to spend, I d recommend, the Sanyo Xacti HD2 which is a great little 720P camera or the Canon Vixia HF10. I ve also played around with this Panasonic HSC1UP camera which is a bit more expensive, but has 3 chips in it which means the colors are a little snazzier. All of these record to SD cards. If you are going to be using iMovie (the video editing software that comes free with Macs), you ll want to get the Sanyo Xacti which records to an easily convertable MP4 format. The Panasonic and Canon SD cams both record to AVCHD which is a wonderful format allowing a lot of hi-res info to fit on a card, but it s not compatible with iMovie 7 at this time. If you ve got a serious budget and you re thinking about shooting broadcast HD, you can get the Panasonic HVX200. We shoot our Handmade Video Portraits on this. This is a professional level camera and it s awesome.There s a bit of a learning curve to dealing with P2 cards though, so be prepared to spend a day or two reading the manual.A great place to go and learn more about cameras is creativecow.net. The forums there are really helpful and the community is great. No matter what camera you get, I recommend getting an extra battery and separate battery charger.There is nothing worse than running out of batteries when you are shooting something special. If a wide-angle lens is available for your camera, get it! I love wide-angle shots to be able to show lots of a room in your frame. Again, the best thing to get started with is what you ve got. In the forums I asked for camera recommendations and got this message. My next video is about tips for shooting video. If you ve got an idea you can leave a comment, or leave a note in the forums or leave a message at 917-720-4197 and maybe I ll post it with the next video.
While Etsy engineer Jorge Lopez coded Alchemy, he was daydreaming of the his ultimate Alchemy request. As soon as we released the new site feature on Etsy, he was the first one to post a request! He ended up choosing artist Emily Balivet s bid and getting the most amazing painting. Watch the video to learn more
Today I m on Blip on Blip which is Blip.tv s video program about the creative folks who publish videos there. We were going to shoot it in a white room, but decided instead to keep it fresh and show you NYC! Thanks to Justin for the interview and Bill for the awesome shooting and editing! MP4 Link
You ve got a video camera what next? The basic idea is to put something in front of the camera and push the red button, but there s a lot more. This video is just a few tips and tricks to get you on your way. The main thing is to just start making videos and then each one will get better and better. If you re going to go handheld, you can improve your stability by holding your elbows in. A tripod will keep the camera steady. If possible have the camera at eyeline or above because people just look more beautiful from above. You don t need to see up my nose. Jump cuts are when you see lots of cuts without a change in camera position. I use these a lot. It also helps to plan some things out. I make a bullet list of things that I want to make sure I say. When working with other people, I find it s easier to ask them to talk about a list of topics rather than memorize things. Don t be afraid to shoot it again and again and again. A few people called in today and I m going to respond to their questions in future videos. If you ve got tips for shooting video, leave a note in the comments or leave me a voicemail at 917-720-4197 and I might post your message in a future post! MP4 Link
So you ve got your camera and you re shooting some special footage. How can you make it sound good? MP4 | Youtube | Blip.tv | Subscribe in iTunes If you keep your subject within arm s length, you can use the onboard (built in) mic to get passable audio. If you re recording to tape, you ll get some tape sound, but it s likely that it will be usable audio. Photograpy cameras in movie mode sometimes have decent audio. Test what you ve got and see how it sounds! If your camera has audio monitoring levels, you ll want to watch those as you record, too. Improving your audio is as easy as getting a microphone. Even a $10 computer condenser microphone will improve your audio. A small mic gets closer to the subject and that s always good. As far as sources for audio options, I shop at B ve got another spot you like to shop, leave a note in the comments. Here s the breakdown of some of the microphones we use for the Storque. Lavaliers: Here on the Etsy Media Awesome Team, we use a wired Audio Technica Pro 70 and a wireless Sony mic and they both work well. They are XLR, so if your camera doesn t have an XLR input you re going to have to get a converter cord or a Beachtek adapter. XLR is a way of hooking up mics that gives better quality sound than 1/8 inch jacks. Shotgun: We use two Sennheissers. One is tiny and one is big. They both work great. (The price I quoted for the big Sennheiser in the video is wrong. It s more like $450. If you need a cheaper shotgun, I ve shot with the Azden, and it s fine, too.) To learn more about shotgun mics, check out this article. Although it s not in this video, if you re looking for a basic old-skool handheld mic, I ve had a good experience with this Shure. If you ve got a mic you re happy with, make sure to leave a note in the comments! For more videos about making videos, keep reading our Getting Started in Video series!
Gabe Molnar of 1AEON says his designs often come from his dreams. The fantastical imagery includes lions, dragons, skulls and owls. Working non-stop in his small kitchen in Brooklyn, this Hungarian-born artist is driven to be the best at whatever he does and to push the boundaries. But his passion and ambition hasn t made Gabe lose sight of his humble beginnings. We were very inspired to meet the maker behind 1AEON and hear his story. MP4 | Youtube | Blip.tv | Subscribe in iTunes I love this video. This shoot really came together magically. Shooting at Coney Island was surreal.
