Now that we got talent of Ben's caliber posting up multimedia projects, I find myself wishing there was a place specifically for video and video/still photography multimedia porjects...
here's a work (in progress) I'm working on:
I ran into a problem, needing some music for a short I'm working on.
Now to be fair, it is not finished, there is no voice over yet and no foley, and there is still a murder scene no in there...
but the music, is adequet, if not astounding... lol!
it is made from soundloops and public domain in mixed garageband... I can't even read music...

I was sooo excited to see Ben posting such projects, will have even more stuff to share, come tax season... end of year is when I get to go shopping for new gear, and video capable dslrs are on my list!

time to hit the hardware store!
a couple boxhorses, some clamps, a pane of plexiglass (or real glass if you're carefull), some pvc plumbing pipe and T and L connectors, as well as some white material (ripstop nylon for example, light cotton also) and some clamp style worklights the kind with a ceramic lightsocket and metal dish reflector are best, lastly some 23 watt daylight balances cfl bulbs. skip the dimmers they complicate color balancing with most lights anyways... you can diffuse the light or move it back...
set the glass on the boxhorses and make a cube from the pvc pipe and tape/glue/sew the fabric over the cube and have fun!

truth is, a typical video light is gonna be warmer than flash unless it says "Daylight balanced"
so if your using flash, the flash should be set to over power the video light and it won't matter.. if the video light is your main source or fill source then it shouldn't matter indoors under incandescent light.
actually helps to warm up an image shot outdoors in the shade or in overcast light...
so like flash you need to be aware of it's color, and how to work with/around it!

What kind of run time can you guys get doing video, on a freshly charged set of batteries?

WHAT QUESTIONS TO ASK? POINTS TO CONSIDER?
By Gerri Anderson
What does the price include?
Ask for a breakdown of important details, such as start and finish times, number of locations, how many images, and how they will be delivered. Get it in writing. Run, don’t walk, from anybody that doesn’t offer a written contract.
What about seeing the work?
Every photographer will show you portfolio shots but you also want to see a sample of a whole album, to be sure what the photographer typically delivers. That’ll give you more insight into the quality than just the portfolio.
Delivery Dates?
Get them in writing. You don’t want to find out after the fact that while the pictures are wonderful, you have to wait six months to get them.
Better to go with a large company?
A company with a stable of photographers, may not give you the guy who shot the images that impressed you the most. You don’t know for sure if there’ll be a switch. You are hiring someone create something original for you, and should be guaranteed the companies best photographer.
Trust your instincts.
You don’t want to be on the receiving end of a “Temper-mental Artist” s’ bad attitude.
Digital or Film?
Quality wise there is no difference. There is however a huge difference in the delivery, as digital offers way more options for touch-ups, Web, DVD, and other uses.
Negatives/Originals?
If they don’t care what happens after getting the sale, then you’ll never know if it was a lousy photographer or a lousy photofinisher to blame. You may be stuck.

carefully space out your objects and it is easy to do..
tripod mounted camera at table level, first object approximately 1/3 the way between the objects, objects about 1 meter from front to back and framed equally apart in viewfinder..
use a fifty mm
