Question for you...

Published June 10, 2010

Hi again!

I'm having a hard time deciding which of these subjects I should cover next, because I don't know which one you want to see most.

So, I thought it would make sense to ask you. These are the topics I'm considering for the next Izzy Video tutorial:


  1. How to shoot video in small rooms.

  2. How to shoot video in low light situations.

  3. How to use the Zoom H4n audio recorder.

  4. How to dramatically improve family video without buying more gear.

As you know, my goal is to make stuff that's helpful to you, so I really want your input.

Which one do you want me to cover next? Please let me know in the comments...


A quick update on the forums

Published June 2, 2010

I just logged into the members-only forums and saw that we're up to 475 posts on 127 different topics. Most of the topics are questions where a member needs help, and then other members and I try our best to answer them.

And the questions cover a wide variety of topics, such as:


  • Gear

  • Lighting

  • Audio

  • Editing

  • Operating a Camera

  • Online Video

Why am I telling you this? I think this is another valuable resource for the members. If you're not an Izzy Video member, and you have an interest in video, you should look into becoming one.

Obviously I'm biased, but I honestly think a membership is a good resource for people who like video.

And the forums are just another reason to do it. :-)

Are you new to video?

Published May 3, 2010

People might disagree with me about this, but my opinion is that if you're new to video, you should NOT get caught up in the highly technical aspects of video.

I see video as being two things at the same time: technical and artistic.

The problem with focusing on the technical aspect …
