Filming Equipment

Hey you Cheeze-heads out there, it's getting that time of the year where we are decking the halls for the holidays. As we get closer to Christmas it reminds me of a present that I got that we use to film BGC videos, my Olympus camera. If it wasn't for this little baby we would have to resort to using our cell phones as cameras, however there is nothing wrong with that we still use our cameras to add to the videos or use as behind the screen footage.

Out first video was bare minimum we used a a tri-pod that Chad had but had no head to put the camera on and could not adjust unless you unscrewed the legs. I had to make a makeshift head out of some spare parts I had in my garage. That little piece of equipment helped film Satanic Seagull too until we eventually got a real tri-pod. We will keep her in our hearts as we film future videos and who knows she might be needed in a pinch.

Our editing equipment is probably on every computer that has Windows, Movie Maker from Windows. It's a good little program to splice together to form videos but it lacks special features like other editing programs. We are in the process of learning a new program from Adobe that has a lot more features than the Windows program.

Our audio is pretty simple too, we use Bubba's iPhone's voice recorder to record any dialogue we use in the videos. We also use Bubba's 4 track for vocals and any narrative voices for the videos. It can be a little difficult at times to sync up the voices with the film.

All in all our equipment isn't the best equipment but being lifetime Yankees we use what we have and make the best of it. So remember when watching our works look for the quality of the content being produced because that will always be top notch.
