My first video job directly from twitter!

Who says you cant get direct business from using Social Media? This video is living proof that you can!


It was along day, due to the long drive but it was worth it!

A “Green Screen” shoot is when you light your subject in front of a green screen, then when you edit the footage, you can “blend in” any colour background you like. My client saw my “video for social media” videos on the WTV Media website and were impressed enough to pick up the phone and ask me to come down and film them talking about their work.

Get more out of Youtube

When you upload your videos to be hosted onto youtube (to later embed into your blog as shown here!) you can add “Annotations” and “Close captions” to your videos to make them REALLY accessable to all your viewers. Annotations really underline your points, or give you way to link to other youtube videos, and close captions stop this problem about people either “allowed” to use audio in their work enviroments, or people who have problems hearing.

Sony PMW EX3 Vs Canon XL H1S which one would you choose?


If I had about £5,000 placed in front of me right now to purchase a new camcorder for my work, then it would be a straight choice between the Sony PMW EX3 or the Canon XL -H1S.

I’ve put reviews of both these amazing cameras below for you to watch.. but the question is….

Which one would you choose and why?


Sony XDCAM PMW-EX3
