Digital Media, video and photography. I'm mainly a home-hobbyist, but have gained a lot of experience and knowledge over the past 5 or 6 years. Most of this I attribute to what has almost become an addiction to providing help on Corel User to User Web Board. So I've decided to share some of the knowledge that I've gained. How to..is a recurring question when it comes to video, and photography. I hope that I'll be able to provide some sensible answers to them.
When talking about videos, I don't just mean videos that you purchase or rent to view. I mean the actual art, science and process of producing them. Not that I don't watch movies or videos, I do watch some, however anymore I find my self paying more attention to how the movie or video is being produced.
While watching them, I'm asking myself questions (not aloud, wife would think I'm nuts), like how did they compose that shot, or what effects are being used? Is this something that I could reproduce?
Yep, videography, editing and producing videos is hobby of mine. I'd love to make it my occupation, yet I fear in doing so will take the fun out of it. As an occupation you're faced with deadlines, trying to please the clients. I think this will have an adverse affect on creativity. So for now, I'll just be satisfied to leave it as one of my hobbies..
