Title: YouTube videos are pulling in serious money
Post by: Noreen on Dec 11, 2008, 11:41:31
QuoteMaking videos for YouTube — for three years a pastime for millions of Web surfers — is now a way to make a living.

One year after YouTube, the online video powerhouse, invited members to become "partners" and added advertising to their videos, the most successful users are earning six-figure incomes from the Web site. For some, like Michael Buckley, the self-taught host of a celebrity chatter show, filming funny videos is now a full-time job................

No, I probably wouldn't myself if I didn't have the dogs, it's useful when I am doing training or for someone else to film me and the dog in the show ring, much easier to see what you're doing wrong and how the dog is moving.  :)

Our needs have always been met better by stills cameras, Ray, and most modern ones can do a passable bit of video when needed. I'm always a bit tempted though...

My nokia n95 does dvd quality video and is actually quite good. A steady hand or a tripod is required though!

Lets be honest In,if I can use it then it has to be easy.its a nice bit of kit though and although I have have a card installed there is masses of memory.I have the Everio  memory Station which is a one touch storage HD...with youngsters around I love to capture the moments and edit them later on....Im no expert in this field but the quality is first rate.

I am hopeing to get some videos of me playing on youtube next year I have a few numbers but they are no perfect yet but will post when they are on there.....
