I don't know if this will work for you guys, i have never done the youtube or filming gig, but, theres an old trick that the photographers at Magnum and National Geo used to do when out doing a project shoot back in the days of film. The problem was that film costs moneys to shoot and develop and when you first arrived all the locals would act up i front of the lens, more or less messing up any hope of getting a 'natural' photo.
So the photographers adopted a way about this.... basically the idea was that they would spend the first few days going around with a camera slung around their necks and they'd click away, lining up and taking shots as they normally would, but they would not have the camera loaded with film. After that time, the locals would become accustomed and bored of the photgraphers clicking away and would get back to their routine and act naturally again, by which time those canny shutter bugs would have loaded their cameras up again and be rattling off chief shots good-o. So anecdote out of the way, i suggest you just get in the habit of adding a some video recording into your regular practice schedule as a matter of practice, its not film it costs you nowt but digital memory, and then only choose what you want to load to youtube at the end of a week or month. That way you are not sitting down thinking... 'jees, i gotta nail it with this try' and after time the numbing routine of recording will turn those clams to mussels, ahem, muscles. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
