Where to start?

In order to become a well versed videographer and one of those "people you always see with a camera," you have to take certain steps in that direction. The first thing that you will need in the video production process is a video camera. You don't need to buy a three thousand dollar HD camera. Your first camera can, and probably should, be a digital handycam that you can take everywhere and video anything and everything.

This instrument is what you begin training your creative mind to view things through the viewfinder or LCD.



A good place to start your search for a simple handy came is at tigerdirect.com.

One key practice that will help train that photographic mind is by carrying around a small digital camera everywhere you go, taking pictures of anything and everything. This helps your mind think creatively. Reviewing these photos can help you see what you like and don't like. That way the next time you get behind your video camera, not as much time is spent thinking about how to do that next shot.
