Okay here's a really neat little camera for those on the go videos.  The video is brought to you by our friends at B&H camera.  The results are stunning, and the size of the camera is even more remarkable.  You can use it with you're smart phone as well, or just alone by itself.  It's a lot less encumbered when not using your smartphone, but when you use your smartphone you have a better viewer to frame your shots with.  Either is good. It also can take still pictures, so it makes for an excellent on the go camera for blog posts, and web based applications.  I am blown away with the quality too.  I'm sure sound isn't that great, but from what I saw for simple set-ups it sounds okay.

She's the whole package. I'd kill to work with actors of such caliber. I was fortunate to work with them in my film. It is that privilege of working with such creative spirits that compels me forward. There is no high better, and there is no substitute when a...

The following YouTube post is pretty informative. Sara Pollack describes an interesting way to use YouTube for filmmakers. The landscape has changed drastically, and instead of having a one way conversation with your audience you can now have a very interactive conversation with a prospective fan base. This would have helped me a lot when I was cutting my film. It's always a GOOD thing to get constructive criticism, and in a way it's how YOU become a better artist. Just thought I bring it to everyones attention.
