Why build a cheap steadycam ?
Steadycams (or camera stabilizers) are attachments used to capture smooth looking video even when the camera and camera operator are in motion. The camera
operator may walk (or even jog), move through tight hallways and doorways, and even climb up and down stairs without shaking the camera. A two camera view of a hallway walk through scene at a radio station. The top view is from a camera using a Poor Man's Steadycam. The bottom view is an observer camera watching me use the steadycam. The bottom camera is partially stabilized using a tripod with its legs folded together. You can see the difference in quality of stabilization, particularly in the stationary moments and the tripod also makes a "clacking" sound you can hear in the recording when we move. This is from the loose legs hitting each other. Tripods can help a little to stabilize moving shots, but they have a lot of shortcomings.
Homemade Steadicam Costs About $24,990 Less Than
The Real Thing [DIY]
There are few things that make handheld video look more polished and
professional than the use of a Steadicam. And this homemade version is seriously cheap to put together.
This contraption is actually a gimbal mount, using a skate bearing, three sections of PVC piping, some wood and some nuts and bolts.
Compared to a real Steadicam , which can set you back $25,000 and up, this is a pretty great setup.
Just look at the video he shot with it below!

Night Light Tutorial - How to turn the light of day into the dark of night Fri, 24 Jul 2009 22:51:47 PDT - The technique of shooting outdoor night scenes in broad daylight has been around since the early days of film. It is commonly called Day for Night (DFN), and you can spot it in films like It's a Wonderful Life, Planet of the Apes and Jaws ; documentaries like The Creation of the Universe ; and, of course, the French film, Day for Night . At times, the effect is obvious; at others, it is not.
But today's camcorders are able to shoot in very low light. Those with infrared capabilities can even make some subjects visible in pitch black. So why would you want to fake it by shooting in the day to simulate the look of night?

Burning Down The House Tutorial Fri, 24 Jul 2009 22:41:27 PDT - I like to use Visual FX to enhance the story I am trying to tell.

A few years ago, I was one of those people. However, by learning some Visual FX, I am now gearing up for my next film - a story I've been wanting to tell, but previously could not because I did not have the budget or knowledge of Visual FX. By learning a few Visual FX, I can now tell this story while keeping my budget extremely low. Therein lies the beauty of Visual FX: helping you tell your exciting story while keeping your budget low.

A bleak look at the life of a working stiff. If you've ever felt like your weeks go by faster and faster as you get busier and busier, you will definitely sympathize with Taylor's character in Working Nightmare.
Grand Prize - Carbon Nation Wed, 01 Feb 2006 08:00:59 PST - Riley Harmon
1st Prize - Beijing Golf Video-2005 Polar Classic Wed, 01 Feb 2006 08:00:58 PST - Mark Wickham
A smoothly-animated composition of high-resolution still images taken at a golf tournament comes together very well.
2nd Prize - Le Combat du Samourai Wed, 01 Feb 2006 08:00:57 PST - Keith Feeney
A Flash animation ports to video nicely in this samurai warrior fight with brilliant, saturated colors.
3rd Prize - Speed Wed, 01 Feb 2006 08:00:56 PST - Jason Adair and Jon Guthrie
Adair and Guthrie produced Speed as a school project. Shooting took 2½ days. Color correction was performed with Adobe After Effects, and the music was composed with Apple Soundtrack.

Best Drama/Action Video - Unplanned Wed, 01 Feb 2006 08:00:49 PST - Stephen Strosin
Unplanned is a tragic, cautionary tale of what happens when someone is too quick to judge what is really going on. The shooting took place over a day and a half.
Best Training Video - Theatrical Lighting Basics Wed, 01 Feb 2006 08:00:48 PST - Kade Mendelowitz
A well-executed training video that concisely illustrates the best way to set up lighting for theatrical productions. The use of picture-in-picture closeups clearly shows the procedures to use to get the lighting effects you need.
Best Documentary - AKA Donut Dollies Wed, 01 Feb 2006 08:00:47 PST - Jack Schell
A tribute to the Donut Dollies, a corps of female Red Cross volunteers who served in Vietnam. The documentary consisted of many still images, which were touched up using Corel PhotoPaint. The project took about three full weeks of scanning, photo editing, video editing and compositing.
Best Commercial/PSA - Tallberg-Respect Wed, 01 Feb 2006 08:00:46 PST - Richard Hartwell and Mike Harrington
This commercial was both shot and edited by Hartwell, who used his friends and family as talent. One zoom effect was facilitated with a remote lens control, and the audio was provided by a local audio producer. The :30 spot appeared on local cable in northern Michigan.
Best Young Videographer - Sorry Wed, 01 Feb 2006 08:00:45 PST - Hodges Usry

Grand Prize Sun, 01 Feb 2004 08:00:59 PST - Title: The Order
The basis of a class project depicting a war short, The Order was shot in wintertime on Super 8 film and Mini DV. The well-executed video includes split screen editing for the climax scene, which was composited to allow one person to play the part of two brothers who are fighting on opposite sides in a combat situation. We congratulate Watson and Camerota on an outstanding and poignant video submission.
First Prize Sun, 01 Feb 2004 08:00:58 PST - Title: The Ending
How do you know it's time to panic? When the video that you just rented from the corner store features video of you, on the couch, witnessing some very strange goings on. The Ending depicts such a video. A second camcorder, mounted above the television, is the secret to the surreal submission.
Second Prize Sun, 01 Feb 2004 08:00:57 PST - Title: The Road Kill Grill
A great cross between a Videomaker Workshop video project and a classic MAD TV skit, The Road Kill Grill marries a novel product idea and some smoothly-rendered graphics into a winning video. While the utility of a Road Kill Grill may be limited depending on whether one was in an urban, suburban or rural area, the video does a great job of 'selling' the product.
Best Drama/Action Video Sun, 01 Feb 2004 08:00:56 PST - Title: Critical Mass
The first of two warfare-related winners this year, Critical Mass depicts two acquaintances who find themselves on different sides of a small nuclear device. A last-minute surprise seals the victory. The project was submitted as DivX, and audio was edited with GoldWave.
Best Comedy Sun, 01 Feb 2004 08:00:55 PST - Title: A Fistful of Diapers
A great choice of music that conjures images of the Old West sets off A Fistful of Diapers . Dale Whiting worked with Michael Fleming on last year's Second Prize winner, Acron7m . It's a very funny tale of two dueling dads who find themselves at opposite ends of a changing table, tending to their respective infants' needs while competing with each other.
Best Music Video Sun, 01 Feb 2004 08:00:54 PST - Title: Tears in the Rain
Here's a case for the use of video as therapy: Rob Roy is a singer-songwriter who wrote Tears in the Rain to express his feelings after his father passed away. A chromakey effect was utilized for some shots to enhance the appropriately dark, yet sometimes dreamlike video.
Best Streaming Video Sun, 01 Feb 2004 08:00:53 PST - Title: The Breakup Film
The Breakup Film is a parody of 1950s-era instructional film on "Losing the One You Love". The use of black and white really helps to set off this very funny video, which includes such disparate things as a rabbit with surgical bandages, a floating clock, and self-deprecating voice-over talent.
Best Documentary Sun, 01 Feb 2004 08:00:52 PST - Title: Christmas in Shanghai
David Ozmun, mass communications faculty member at Ouachita Baptist University, chronicles a trip made with a University singing group to observe the remarkably Western Christmas festivities in Shanghai. We also found it striking that Ozmun reported having no problems traveling with video equipment or shooting in China.
DVD-Video Bonus Sun, 01 Feb 2004 08:00:51 PST - Title: Malignant Night

can create 2D & 3D special effects and can work in two modes - as a standalone
application which would appeal for home users/beginners, and as a "plug-in" to

Currently Wax can work as a plug-in with Sony Vegas®, Pure Motion EditStudio and
Adobe Premiere® and work for integrating with various other NLEs is in progress.

Image experts Group, JBIG. As well as our members'site, it offers other useful
sources of information about the JPEG and JBIG committees and their standards.
JBIG is short for the'Joint Bi-level Image experts Group'. This was (and is) a
group of experts nominated by national standards bodies and major companies to
work to produce standards for bi-level image coding. The'joint'refers to its
status as a committee working on both ISO and ITU-T standards. The'official'
title of the committee is ISO/IEC JTC1 SC29 Working Group 1, and is responsible
for both JPEG and JBIG standards.
MPEG
(.mpg) (pronounced M-peg), which stands for Moving Picture Experts Group, is the
name of family of standards used for coding audio-visual information (e.g.,
movies, video, music) in a digital compressed format. The major advantage of
MPEG compared to other video and audio coding formats is that MPEG files are
much smaller for the same quality. This is because MPEG uses very sophisticated
compression techniques.

interface that you can include very easily into your image or document processing software. In addition, JBIG-KIT provides ready-to-use compression and decompression programs with a simple command line interface (similar to the
converters found in netpbm ). JBIG1 patent information .
By Markus Kuhn.For many years, the doubts about the patent situation have
prevented the JBIG1 standard from becoming widely used on the Internet (e.g.,
not a single web browser has support for it integrated). As the author of a
freely available JBIG1 implementation ,
I'm investigating the current patent license requirements for the JBIG1
standard, and this page summarizes what has been found out so far.
