Get a Room!

By that I mean, get a media room.
No need for big, expensive equipment anymore
Nowadays it’s so much easier to have a studio near where your executives or your clients are so you can easily shoot video without taking away a lot of their time. In a time of crisis, this allows for a quick response.
In this post some suggestions on the equipment to buy:
- An HD Camcorder: A great choice for a good HD camcorder is this JVC or a cheaper option could be this Canon
- A few Flip Cams: I’d suggest to buy a few of Flips for the PR team (in-house and agency) so they can easily shoot some good footage (at trade shows, during interviews, to prep spokespeople, etc)
- Computer: Go with a Mac. A Mac Pro with a beautiful monitor or the 27 inch iMac 3.06 GHz if you are on a budget
- Software: You will already get iMovie included in your Mac, perfect for easy to use editing. If you want more features, you can get Final Cut PRO 7 or at least Final Cut Express
Happy Shooting!

Great post, thanks for the tips. Do you have any suggestions for online file storage that can handle HD video files (ours tend to be between 2GB to 8 GB). We’ve tried megaupload.com and iDisk and they don’t work. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Good question, Gabriella. We tried other services and solutions but so far couldn’t find good ones. If you do, let me know!

Gabriella - you always use the basics like YouTube, but I prefer Vimeo.com for my HD video files. You can make them private only viewable by a select number of people. I’ve also found 4shared.com and Adrive.com to be useful - some of these sites required a subscription.
I’m sure you already know about these sites, just thought I’d share in the event - for some reason - you didn’t know.
And, Luca, I think it’s also important to stress that in this evolutionary stage of online video, it’s never a bad thing to consult a professional for help in producing videos. Even if it’s just a basic consultation on Production 101…your viewers/readers will THANK YOU!
Cheers,
dave
