WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i'm on youtube.

[robert stubbs]

Which Camcorder did you go for in the end Derek as I'm looking for one myself.


Regards Rob

[derek west]

panasonic sdr-s26 in red.
cheers for the help mike.
derek

this one
zoom is great but hard to keep still even on a fixed object, but it is 70x zoom.
easy to use, make sure you get a high quality sd card.
not brill in dim lighting but as i found out, anything under £500 and your gonna struggle anyway.

got some great footage of me and my worker and all though struggled at first, i now find it easy to get onto youtube. created using sony vaio story maker.

£249 from curries if your interested, i'm sure its cheaper on the net but i needed mine asap so curries it was.

its as small as a normal camera so fits in ya pocket.

i would recomend this camcorder but  ive never used any others.

Cheers Derek some good reviews on the sdr-s26, plus a pal of mine has had one and was going to let me know how it was on his holiday when he returns next week.

I have a Sony DCR-SR75E 60GB HDD and its terrific! Cost me just over £300 and worth every penny. As ive said before Windows movie maker is ok but very limited when you see what 'professional' editing software packages can do! Power Director is easy to use with a little practise and can produce material in high quality AVI or DVD if you want to burn your stuff on to disk which is what I presume you want to do???

If I was you Id forget windows movie maker and get something more professional.

Derek

Whats it under

Not that home made stuff

[derek west]

just done another one but it won't be in search yet.

the first one?
type in "affordable cleaners carpet cleaning".
should be top, i think the start picture is someone cleaning stairs.
when its running you should see some fat git in a pink jumper.
and a skinny guy that looks like me, thats brian, he's my dogs body
derek

any comments will be laughed at, cos its my first attempt, so i don't give a poop.

[derek west]

my second ones just appeared, its 2nd on the search for "affordable cleaners carpet cleaning"

derek "speilberg" west

[Ricky M]

looked at the 1st one but yes with a lil fine tweaking and your looking good
nice music
smooth and calm
maybe to long in between txt to visual result 

you already know some ( web guy ! )  that can pro edit your vids and give you some tv commercial type style to your pro mo vids .
yes its a great idea and not that many would try this marketing hook
but I would of kept it close to my chest till you had pulled enough ££££
you need to get a list of the prequirement managers in your local area

[Steve Barnett (Carpet Care Plus)]

Just watched them both Derek and for a first attempt I think they are pretty damn good, certainly beyond my capability - I wouldnt even know where to start.

Get that t-shirt tucked in fat boy ! 

Steve

[derek west]

steve
it won't tuck in, and ive just had a kfc so might need a bigger one.

i'll be honest i didn't really do much, the software does it all for ya.
the first one was done with vaio story maker, just import the clips and hey presto it merges them all for ya, just type in your comments and its done.
the second one (done with just pictures) was done with windows movie maker, bit harder but still the same process.

hoepfully john will help me out and i'll have a better one next week when i film the pub job tomorrow morning, practice makes perfect, so they say.

derek

ps... the camera adds 10 pounds and there was a lot of cameras pointing at me
