I’ll look into it! Unfortunately, most of the point/shoot Nikon cameras that I’ve tested for shooting video have turned out to be not good. I did a review on a cool pix p100 and it was so bad that I never uploaded the episode. but I’ll look into the camera.

Could you test out the Nikon Coolpix L120 it is a cool camera which I think people would appreciate. It shoots 720p video and has macro and 21X optical zoom and also takes photos. It has no mic input only problem. Also could you please show the quick fx community how you got so famous.
P.S your videos are some of the best resources out there on the web so whatever anybody says you must keep making videos.

The offset in the handles allows for one of your arms to be closer to your body, giving you more stability. Some other folks have built this setup and they seem to like how it works. I’m planning to get more tests with the rig soon!

A safe alternative to the petroleum-based Vaseline® might be K-Y Jelly®, which is water-based, chemically inert, and contains no perfumes or coloring. It is also available in liquid form.

I have not tried this, but thought it might be worth a mention.

So, any more news on this? I’m looking to build something like this and like the design. I’m wondering though, how you like having the handles offset like that. It seems like it would be awkward.

I’ve never been out to Oregon before actually. The producer credit was setup through the kickstarter project after I, and some other folks, invested in helping the crew with the batman costume. I’m just working remotely on that specific project with some props.

Hey Dave I’ve been watching you for a long time, thanks for the tips. You
mentioned the batman thing, and that you are a producer. It looks familiar, are
you shooting in portland oregon? Is this your home base? Thanks in advance.

I haven’t done a review on the Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11, but I use it on my home ‘editor’ and I like it! It offers a lot of editing options, effects, and works great on my win7 ‘basic laptop’ computer. The nicest feature of the software is an auto preview monitor that playbacks a resolution based on your computers processor power. (draft, medium, best, etc.) This allows for smooth playback even on ‘slower’ computers.
