Actually, now that I think of it, I don't think I need a boom pole, and think I can just use my hand to carry it. (I can't afford the boom pole at the moment). Will holding it ruin the sound quality? I figure by holding the rode ntg-2 in my hand, it will create a very directional microphone.

Thank you so much, Alcove! Would this be a reasonable boom pole for the NTG-2? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/392860-REG/Rode_BOOMPOLE_Boompole_for_Rode_NTG_1.html BTW, I would be filming short films, so is getting a wind protector necessary for outside shots?

So there is no extra accessories I need to buy for a Rode NTG-2, since I think this is the most appropriate mic. Also, are you allowed to carry the shotgun mic while filming, as well as mounting it on my camera?

Yeah..I guess it was pretty windy... I could had some plywood or cardboard to block the wind in addition to the wind covered mic.

Really? I had one. It was that bad?

Haha thanks! We had a lot of fun filming it. Any constructive criticism? Thanks!

Here's our homecoming video. We made references to Cast Away, LOST, Baywatch, Old Spice, and Inception. It's not really something that is super strong filming wise. (Toward the end, I wasn't expecting my lens to get dirty because of the sand), but I just want you to watch and enjoy. Feel...

Yeah, this all makes a lot of sense. Thanks. I am using After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4 for my movies, and am pretty decent in using them, but I'm not using it to its fullest fullest fullest potential. If that makes sense. I am able to do basic motion graphics, and know how to edit...

So, I go to high school, and I am making movies frequently, and, I think, getting better at them every time. However, I'm not SUPER strong at editing, or motion graphics kind of guy. Is that okay? If I want to major in film in college or do film when I'm older, can't I use/hire other people...

I'm no expert, but I thought that was a really good film! Good job. However, even though I'm an amateur, I have some constructive criticism. For example, for Greg to be a drug addict and an alcoholic, I would expect Greg to be at least a little reluctant, when the man asks him to come with...

I am filming with a Canon HF200, with a canon dm100 external microphone. Thanks!

Haha, yes, we were inspired by Inception...Thanks for your advice!

Hi, This was a short random action movie that my friends and I made. It started out as a joke, but we thought it turned out "okay." Think of it as a comedy, more than an action movie. Thanks, and enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0XFwZ301EI

How do I adjust the shutter? Thanks. BTW, in most cases, I want the iris to be opened all way, right?

Is adjusting the iris the same as adjusting the exposure?

Hi, In this tutorial, he tells you to "open up" the iris, or increase it. How would you do that on a consumer camcorder like the Canon Hf200? Is it possible? Will it actually work? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZA9r0iWbdw

Haha, we know. But we believe the reason he would decide to enter my video was to get exposure among Oprah's producers, and it would also serve as a sneak peek to his upcoming web series that he was going to launch soon anyway.

Hi, I am thinking about purchasing a Jag35 student bundle soon, but I read that when you film, it actually views upside down. Is this true? How do you fix it? Is it easily fixable? Is it worth it? How does it affect you when you're actually filming? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am looking into buying an external microphone for my consumer camera (Canon Hf200). In my research, I found many, but this one stuck out to me: Rode NTG-1 Condenser Shotgun Microphone. I know this offers great sound quality, but I don't know if it will work on consumer cameras. Will...
