You Need Better Music.

What do you recommend?

That will give you plenty of good music.

It seems rock is always a good choice for Paintball Videos. If its a fast paced video with fast paced play, Find a fast paced song.

Rap is never good.

I am in this. :)

where are you?

If you're going to try and market your videos or expect pay then I suggest use of either a tripod or monopod. You could also use some work on your angles. While snake 50 will almost guarantee action, you have to do too much panning to get all of the action in, and you're going to give everyone massive headaches trying to follow the action back and forth in that manner. If you aren't taping in HD on strictly digital media that will also bring down the interest. As for music, try to pick a selection that actually goes along with your video, some thing where you can match the high points of action with the more exciting parts of the song. Try looking at more of the original scores for movies than for main stream artists.

Truly at this point: Your video quality is average. Mom and Pop can do this with their cool new camera phones or PnS cameras. Work on making it look more professional and refining your technique before considering trying to market. If you push out too soon word will get around that this is your level of ability, and even when you start improving in the future, your original reputation will follow you.

Need more angles, less panning, and a tripod.

Not bad though

Thanks for the advice... I will bring a tripod next time but my only problem is I only have a sony handycam... it says its hdd i dont know if that means it can tape in hd... also the handycam wont work on windows movie maker so I use a program that converts the file and that cuts off some of the video... lmk what I should do about that and what program I should use for editing.... I only use windows movie maker because im familiar with it... just lmk what program I should use to edit movies and any advice on a new camera and stuff like that. Thanks

Some suggestions for Video Editing Software would depend on what price range you're looking for. If you're looking at less than $100 for working functional software I'd suggest the Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum. Depending on where you get it from I've seen it as high as $75 and as low as $65 new.

But if software isn't in your budget right now, you can still work on refining some of the other things (using a tripod/monopod, camera angles, and finding music selection for your videos) :) But I'd work on those things before looking at a new camera as well. You'd be surprised how with the right eye and the right software almost any camera can look good.

ya i think my dad has that sony vegas software on his computer is their a way to transfer that to a laptop because his friend is a real film director (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0493425/) that is one of his movies you might know about it but anyways he lent sony vegas to my dad to use on his computer... is their a way to transfer it to another computer?

It's possible, but there is the chance that problems may arise from directly copying it over to your laptop. Your best bet is to directly install is to make sure the program runs properly.

Otherwise it can be done, but you have to make sure to completely copy every file. The Operating Systems would need to be the same and it would need to be copied to the Mirror location (If it got installed to the D:\ drive then when you copy it over you would need to install it to the D:\ drive on your machine as well). You can always try it then uninstall it if it's not working properly.

ok thanks

[spyder_013]

It was ok... Turn the music volume levels down, especially with the first song, and let us hear more of the yelling and shooting.

Keep more of the footage steady and focused on one player that is giving you action, if that player doesnt give action, move on, but keep it steady. moving from one guy running to the next guy shooting in .5 seconds makes me dizzy.

Amanda pretty much covered what you need to work on, looks good for just a handy cam though. Glad I was in it :) The guy in the Vicious jersey at 50 snake around 1:30, lol. Too bad you all got to see me spill a pod.

Keep it up bro, I would like to see more local video footage come out, since we already have Photography covered, *cough* Ben *cough*

[krazyswagga57]

thanks for the tips, I would come out and video tape the 3 man but i dont have a team right now... and I would bring a tripod this time haha
