Your marketing video is not successful unless someone watches it! The ultimate success is a video that someone watches and then watches again. What are some of the best personal touches you can utilize to achieve this? Remember that your video is artwork. Video is a series of moving, talking pictures, so let’s talk about what makes up good pictures.

First, obtain the proper equipment and know how to use it. This does not refer to a specific brand. If you are buying a camcorder, just remember to look for an aperture ability or f-stop number around 2.4 or so, and you want a smooth multi-step zoom. You also need to have a tripod. You can purchase a lightweight, fluid-head tripod for under fifty bucks. Another item you must have is a good light source. A reliable lighting umbrella kit, again, can cost less than fifty dollars. Otherwise, make certain your room is well lit. For outdoor filming, be sure you have bright daylight for at least a couple of hours. Whatever light source you utilize, do not place it directly behind the person who is talking to the camera!

Practice with your equipment. Where are the buttons on the camera that will zoom in and out, cut in special effects, and so forth? How do you manipulate the tripod so that you can slowly pan back and forth? Can you switch focus smoothly? One of the most effective techniques is to begin your video tight on your speaker-a nice close-up shot of a clean, smiling face-then zoom out slowly. Just in case you’re holding the camera instead of using a tripod, be certain not to walk around unless you’re dispensing motion sickness medicine! Pause the camera if you have to move.

Next, frame your shot. What is in the background? Don’t rig up a cloth backdrop if you cannot make it look professional. If it’s a kitchen item, use a clean, well lit kitchen. If you are selling business services, make certain the background shows a professional office setting. Are the books evenly spaced? Can you see dust on the shelves? Put a plant in the background. If you are outdoors, avoid windy days. And before you press the red button on the camera, center your subject squarely against this nice background.

Your subject should know the script, but memorizing sounds unnatural. Write a script, and then reduce it to keywords listed on index cards. The subject should practice his lines as he flips rapidly through the cards. If he cannot remember the script without them you can use a table- or desk-top item to conceal the hands, or just don’t zoom out far enough to show them. Also, your speaker should practice speaking slowly. When people talk, their voices always sound slower to them than they do to other people.

Don’t use graphics or music unless you are really good at editing them into your video. If you do, however, it is useful to time any changes of shot with the beat of the music-the visual cut seems smoother when it takes place with the beat.

Now that you actually are filming, this is the hardest personal touch: keep it short. This video is your baby, but anything longer than two minutes will lose your viewers’ attention. If you really believe that you need five minutes to describe your product or service fully, break it up into several one- or two-minute segments that you can rotate on your website. And by keeping it short, you give your viewer time to watch it again-the ultimate success!

You are going on holidays and you want to avoid getting lost like last time. You go to put the address of your holiday destination in to your Satellite Navigation system but it cannot find the address.

This problem can occur if you have an old Sat Nav and you have not been getting Map updates. This is not uncommon as updates can be quite expensive.

If you have ever had problems finding an address in your Sat Nav then there is another option that you can use.

Google maps are regularly updated so by putting the address that you are trying to find in to Google maps you will be given the physical address and Coordinates. You can then input these Coordinates in to your Sat Nav and away you go!

Follow the 3 steps as follows:

1. Open the Google Maps website and enter the address details in the search box at top of the page. Press return and a red positioning image shaped like a teardrop with the letter ‘A’ embedded will now be shown pinpointing the location of your address.

For example if I enter the physical address of the City of Cork in Ireland like this: Cork City, Ireland in to the search box it will pinpoint the address using the red positioning image with the letter A.

2. Using your mouse right click on the red positioning pinpoint image with the letter A until a drop-down menu appears. The drop-down menu contains this list:

directions from here,

directions to here,

zoom in,

zoom out,

center map here,

whats here,

report a problem.

3. From the drop-down list select ‘whats here’ and the coordinates will now appear in the Google search box!

4. Now take these Coordinates and input them in to your Sat Nav and it will now show your destination location on your Map using the GPS Coordinates that you entered.

It is an advantage to be able to input the GPS Coordinates in to your Sat Nav but be aware that If your Sat Nav maps are out of date your Sat Nav will not be able to show you the correct turns on each road as you come closer to your destination. For example you could be in the middle of a field according to the picture on the map! That is okay as long as you are aware of this. The Sat Nav will still guide you in the right direction.

You may not agree with the order in which they are in, that’s personal preference.

But you have to agree that these are some pretty stupid game names.

1. “This Is Football”

Trust me, it is. Really.

2. “The Thing”

Where you shoot at the what-sits with the um stuff.

3. “Sweet 16 Licensed To Drive”

Unfortunately Mary-Kate and Ashley miss the true legal significance of this birthday

4. “Go Go Golf”

This is like calling Gran Turismo 3 ”Zoom Zoom Cars’.

5. “WWE Shut Your Mouth”

They should have included ‘You Lycra Wearing Macho Meathead Freak’ on the end

but they forgot.

6. “Rugby”

It surrrrrre is.

7. “F1 Championship Season 2000”

Has a championship in which you race the 2000 season, in F1.

8. “Speed Freaks”

A game full of freaks that are on speed. Don’t bother playing this game, just go

downtown and you’ll find the guys who inspired this game. Both kinds that is…

9. “Gitaroo Man”

Maybe the Japanese guys who made this game invest in a slightly higher quality

English translator, as obversely it wasn’t working too good.

10. “Z”

Zed … or Zee? The most basic game name ever and most people will say it

wrong!

10-2. “Final Fantasy X-2”

Sorry, couldn’t miss this one out. For making a mockery of Roman Numerals. Look

out for the sequel ‘Super Final Fantasy X-2-7-4 Turbo Ultimate Gold Limited

Edition.

A long time ago Nike revolutionized the shoe industry with their Nike Air. The Nike Air technology often featured a section of see through material that acted as a cushion on the rear outsole of the shoe. Since its release in the 1970s this technology has spawned a high-tech running shoes industry.

With several other brands competing in the same space Nike has led the way in developing technology for running shoes since the Nike Air.

We will go through the most popular technologies that Nike has developed some thirty-years after the original Nike Air.

Shox Technology

All road cars have shock absorbers meant to give a smooth ride. Nike took this concept and applied shock-absorber-like columns on the heel area of their shoes featuring this technology. This gives the runner something very similar to an independent suspension of a road car. The effect is more traction and cushioning that adapts to where it is needed.

LunarLite

The Nike Lunarlite foam that has just gained popularity is Nike’s inner material of choice among their top running shoes. The Lunarlite material was meant to give an experience very unique to Nike running shoes.

Zoom Air

The Nike Zoom Air is a thin material that provides cushioning inside the midsole of the shoe. Depending on the application this can be segmented into the heel and toe, lay flat on the entire stretch of the shoe, or even just be present in the forefoot portion of the running shoe. Nike developed this technology to provide cushioning while maintaining extreme responsiveness.

Flywire

This is one of the newer technologies introduced by Nike. The Flywire technology tries to eliminate slippage of foot during running. It does this by using fibers placed around the shoe to ensure that the foot is kept in place.

Choosing a handy-cam to buy for you is a tough job. There are so many models available in the market that it is easy to get confused and end up making the wrong choice. After all, every brand out there promises to provide quality at the best price. If that was the case, you could walk into a shop and buy the first camcorder that lay on the display. In this indecisive situation, you cannot do better than go for a reliable and proven brand. Sony is considered to be a world leader in appliances and their digital video cameras have earned the praise of users all over the globe. The Sony DCR SR68 handy-cam is one of the best cameras for a beginner. Here are some reasons why this camera proves to be a good buy.

Economy

The Sony DCR SR68 costs $329 if you purchase it online. Considering the usual pricing of digital video cameras, you might have to spend over $500 on a modern high-end camera. This makes this model an exceptionally inexpensive purchase. This is a great job on the part of Sony to bring the camera to the common man’s reach.

Quality

Despite being moderately priced, the camera offers exceptional picture quality. The professional level Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar lens allows you to capture high-resolution visuals without any blurs or other noise. The picture quality available at this price means that you get more than you pay for.

Zoom

Perhaps the best thing about the Sony DCR SR68 is the zoom option. Providing up to 2000X digital zoom, the camera offers outstanding clarity and crispness even if you are shooting from a distance. You can easily take close up shots without having to stand close to the person.

Sound

The camera has Dolby Digital sound quality. Every sound in the video is captured clearly without any distortion. There is a built-in zoom microphone that captures every sound made in the shooting radius. The Sony DCR SR68 gives great sound to the memories you capture on video.

Memory Space

The SR68 has an 80GB built-in disk drive which gives you the luxury of storing up to 61 hours of recorded footage in the long play format. You can always transfer the files to your computer to free up space in the camera or get an additional memory stick to increase the space at your disposal.

Ease of Use

The Sony DCR SR68 is an entry-level camera which is designed for people not adept at handling digital cameras. The features are easy to use and the menus can be accessed through the touch screen. The user manual provides a detailed guide as to how to use the camera properly.

Reliability

Sony is a household name. When you buy a Sony product, you can be sure that it is reliable and durable. You can say that there is a feel good factor about purchasing from a renowned brand. This reliability isn’t duplicated by any of the newer brands in the market. These are some great reasons to buy the Sony DCR SR68.

Stay tuned for some camera reviews by myself ” Kyle Summers ” your professional photography source.

I really love getting into genealogy research. But one thing that has always bothered me was the size of the images that I wanted to take pictures of for my own records. That’s when I came across the Olympus digital camera 740. This camera has some of the best zooming capabilities on the market and when it comes to value for money, well it’s hard to beat.

With a 10 x optical zoom and a 3 x digital zoom, the 740 is a handy little unit. Some of the newer cameras on the market only come with a 3 x optical zoom. I know this is great news for me taking pictures of those old photographs. I just set up my Olympus digital camera 740 on a tripod, adjust my lighting and take the shots – it’s all as easy as 1, 2, 3! Now we have detailed digital records of our old family pictures to hand down through our future generations.

But taking pictures ins one thing, being able to download them easily is another. I just hook up the USB cable to my Olympus d740 and move the images to my pc or laptop. You have the added bonus of a memory card so you cans tore and record all your shots in one go.

When it comes to genealogy and recording our family treasures, the Olympus digital camera 740 certainly gets my vote. It has exceptional zooming capabilities and easy to master manual controls. With a 3.2 mega pixel resolution, these pictures transfer nicely to print, and are a very easy to transfer size for sharing via email. The Olympus digital camera 740 is a great tool when it comes to tracing your ancestry and I highly recommend it.
