A very standard question that many of us are always asking is “What camera shall I use?” Because once you’ve captured your video content like what I’m doing right this moment, you’re going to have to move it over to your video editor. And there’s really two solutions. One, using a very basic camera for individuals who are on a low cost which I’m going to share with you soon. Or two, utilize a bit advanced camera which is the current one that I’m using today to document on. And both is really depending on your budget and also with regards to the excellence of the video that you would like to take out there.
The first one that I’ve used for quite a while before I personally replaced to this camera that I’m currently creating on is a Kodak Zi8 camera. This is a good, very small and very light camera that I’ve used and I had a 32GB card in here so as to record all my high definition videos. Now the explanation why this is an excellent camera is one, it has an exterior microphone which you can just plug in onto the side right over here. Then if you have seen a lot of my videos, I had no less than about almost 100 videos that I documented using the Kodak Zi8 camera. And it’s an excellent camera because it records in high definition and the video sizes are very small in distinction.
Now the second option which is a bit more advanced and also too, it records very high quality and you can see just from the filming is referred to as the Canon T3i Rebel. And I’m not planning to take the credit that I identified this. It was actually advised to me by my good friend Gideon Shalwick. And merely again, it does have an exterior mic so the great point is I can connect this mic that I’ve got on attached on me directly into the camera and begin to share with you.
Now, watch out, these cameras, these specific Canon cameras document very large files and there’s little trick that I’m sharing in the coming video on how so as to get this sent to your video editor in a more compact file format and I think unsurprisingly at this time it records up to about 300MB per minute so if you’re planning to do a 10-minute video, it’s planning to be about 3GB which is actually big. While in consideration, the Kodak Zi8, for approximately a 5-minute video that I used to capture, it will simply be about 200-300MB so it’s a fraction of that size so you simply have to take that in consideration when you’re outsourcing it to your video editor internationally.
Be sure that whenever you’re getting a camera, you’ll also buy a lapel mic which is what I’m now holding at the moment, you can sort of see it on me. But simply it’s just a mic that just clips onto you and connect it straight to your camera and it provides much better caliber of sound.
