Wednesday Workshop <= Thank You!
That had to be the most interactive Webinar I’ve had to date with a 100% participation from everyone that attended.
Thank You!
What better way of starting a Monday than by saying “thank you”!
I was sooo stuck on Wednesday morning and for the past few weeks for that matter and it was nice to show off what ProjectE was about and some of the work that had been completed so far.
I had been caught in the self-doubt stage and you reactions were superb to the whole idea behind it and where it could be taken. It needs more work, but I’ve got to draw the line somewhere and I’ll let you know when.
Video
Hey why just use written words when I can now use video? More on this in a moment…
Video Quality
You may have noticed that the quality of the video is slightly better. I’ve bought a pair of huge daylight light boxes (they’re monsters) and a new camera.
The new issue I have is that the Kodak Zi8 camera has a high pitched whistle when using an external microphone, you can hear it in the video even after editing the sound track. Tiny bug-bear for now (yes I’ve Googled the daylights out of this, its known issue and its the latest firmware too :( ).
So.. has video quality had a marked improvement?
Wow! Thumbs up on the video quality generally. You seem to have learned loads in only a few weeks about video production. Didn’t notice the sound issue but I’m sure you’ll sort it out. :)
Howdy Rob,
Thank you! Its not that apparent as the filters used in Sony Vegas HD allow me to filter the bulk of it out.
Just put up a new video at the link below and would be curious on your feedback in comparison:

Video quality certainly up, lighting makes a big difference. You’re right on the sound though, not as good. What external mike are you using or was this off the camera?
Howdy Dillon,
I’ve tried a couple, they all have the same issue so appears to be the common issue with the camera. However much better than the inbuilt microphone as its too quiet.
Also used some suppression on the low and high tones on the audio track which made it a it better, the whistle was pretty loud to say the least in the original and hardly noticeable (but still there) in the finished article.
