Thanx Johnx... I tested it on my site for the iphone and the safari browser, some people using firefox and ie have found no issues...
I'll have a revised version of the video clip up soon and will open a new thread to follow John's advice about polling the results...
I'm wondering if I should hold off until I got the other videos ready... this clip is more of a welcome clip.... there are more, 15 sec clips for specific products to be added to other pages yet...

I have rode video mics...
if used properly, the rubberband shock mounts work great... but.... if you are shakey with your camera, little tiny squeaky/crunch noises get picked up from the rubber bands moving... other than that they do great at isolating noise.

Apart from the speed, as you are advertising wedding and corporate services I wonder whether you should be showing images from these areas of activity rather than a statue in a garden/park.
One way to find out if it hits the spot would be to run a poll asking whrther or not the video would entice people to contact you or not. After all, this is its only function.
'll try to answer all the above comments (so far) with this:Apart from the speed, as you are advertising wedding and corporate services I wonder whether you should be showing images from these areas of activity rather than a statue in a garden/park.

The peice isn't finished yet.
There will be a little more work with one voiceover (rushed at the end) removed and two more added (Gerri has today off and will be doing her voice overs today.
the slow tranquility of this peice is meant to be the cover on a new website.
that means we'll be doing ONE promo peice for EACH service with links to stills and movies on each page, this will allow me to have one promo peice dedicated to specific markets/consumers.
thank you keep 'em comming..

Fair enough comments. I agree that most people work indoors. Some rooms are very sunny and it is better to fit the monitor to that than to have to lower blinds. Although- I doubt that you do your photoshopping whilst your subject is being lit to your taste in your studio?
yes and no....Fair enough comments. I agree that most people work indoors. Some rooms are very sunny and it is better to fit the monitor to that than to have to lower blinds. Although- I doubt that you do your photoshopping whilst your subject is being lit to your taste in your studio?
I have 4 computers I use to work on.
two in my den (mixed lighting)
one in a bedroom
one in my studio.
so I do review my images/video in studio but often work where I can watch my youngest child during the day. it is most important to get the clients approval on a project BEFORE you tear down any lighting or sets....
almost anywhere you work, you'll find glare, and ambient light to be affecting your viewing screen, so it is best to set up your workspace in a way that allows you to control the ambient light and keep your workspace comfortable. a system like the Huey does adjust to the ambient brightness and color throughout the day and makes workflow easier. I can't imagine the headaches I'd have to endure if I had to work in bright, or florescent light or with sunlight glare on my monitor...
So I'd say lowering the blinds would more oft than not, be a better solution than cranking up the brightness of my monitor...

Why do people make the comment "too bright"?
It, surely, depends on the ambient light level. Is there any reason for doing your colour work under dim conditions other than the fact that you can't get bright enough monitors and people have simply got used to it?
It used to be the same for Colour TV monitors in the old days. Domestic TVs were always brighter but y ou couldn't get the colourimetry, convergence and sharpness without sacrificing brightness. Modern monitors manage to be brighter, Ideally, you should be able to do your colour wor out in the garden on a sunny day. It's heading that way for TV displays.
Because some manufactureres send it out from the factory set up for maximum brightness and contrast, and to be honest that has everything to do with meeting "Advertising" claims, and not end user needs...Why do people make the comment "too bright"?

I buy it intending to use it indoors under Normal lighting conditions, it would be nice if it came out of the box set up in that range, but it is nice to know, that if I choose to move my office out to the Garden, the monitor can be adjusted to that purpose.
as far as my studio is concerned... it is dark. all the walls but one are matte black, with one wall painted on with a greenscreen, covered with a black curtian. the only light I want, on a subject, in my studio is the light I decide to put there, I don't like ambient or reflected light bouncing or scattering around...
