  1. #production tip: Content makes a production. Quality can be crap with killer content. That doesn't mean you shouldn't make the quality good.
  2. #production tip: Trying to focus in the field? Try a black and white viewfinder rather than a color monitor.
  3. #production tip: Planning is everything. Video shot sans plans just look like, well, video. Use scripts, storyboards, sketches on napkins!
  4. RT @thedvshow The last few months taught me: Everything I learned about video production is wrong when it comes to the web.
  5. #production tip: If you plan on shooting a lot of tape, pre-number the tapes. If you can, keep a log while you shoot, makes editing easier.
  6. RT @BreakingNews NBC News has learned that television personality Ed McMahon has died. He was 86-years-old.
  7. Video production tips will be returning next week after a month's hiatus. Stay tuned!
  8. Looking for free (cost) production music (synchro and broadcast). Anyone know of anything?
  9. #production tip: Log your footage. This will make editing quicker and easier. Paper sheets available from vps: http://bit.ly/vpscontent
  10. #production tip: Record calibrated bars on the head of your tape. They will help match colors and this is a likely place for tape to break.
  11. #production tip: When using an off-camera mic, record two channels of audio, one from the on-camera mic. This could be very useful in post.
  12. #production tip: Trying to get good sound in an acoustically poor room? Use a shotgun (unidirectional mic with excellent off-axis rejection)
  13. #production tip: Get comfortable with your camera's lens. You will then easily be able to get great shots without looking at the viewfinder.
  14. #production tip: Want a subject to show larger in your frame? Try getting closer! It's easier to hold stable and differs from a tight shot.
  15. #production tip: Keep a UV or clear filter in front of your lens to protect it from scratches, dust, and fingerprints; still passing light.
  16. #production tip: Prepare for and practice rack focuses, Hitchcock zooms, and other complex effects. Tape with tactile feel makes good marks.
  17. #production tip: Check power requirements and circuits before arriving at a shoot. Make sure all batteries are charged and you have chargers
  18. #production tip: Never forget your tape! Make sure you pack extra recording media as well as some multipurpose adhesive tape (gaff is good)
  19. RT @mhp_video: @videosupport Never skimp on proper rain protection for your investment.
  20. #production tip: Carry large garbage bags when shooting outside - a tear and tape job gives you a rain-cover with access for you and a lens.
