Dude, I'm so totally rock'in this 19 shooter thing.  I call it 19 shooting cause I have a camera on my head, kinda like the bunny with a pancake on it's head but different, makes about the same amount of sense too.

Now I can rock on and make tons of money shooting video with my head while my hands rock making even more money taking pictures with a still camera.

Oh you want to see results? Check this Rock'in video/still movie thing I made dude, I'm so fucking proud of myself I made myself fart, twice!

My cool u-tub vedio http://youtu.be/mKl_NlCDzmg

You weren't joking about the gopro + g12 lol!!! I need to buy you a sixer.

Your shit is awesome. On a scale of "one to ....wait... what?" how many joints have you smoked today?

Not awesome, not even good. I have no idea what I'm doing.  I have no idea how to use the editing software I have, none, zip, nada.

But it is fun!

Uploading a video I shot with the GoPro on my head Para-Sailing in Catalina last week with Kelly.  Editing really sucks but the camera did very well, I was impressed.

I'll post a link to it later, it's taking forever to upload since I have a shitty ISP

just being facetious.

Can't wait to put the G12's video through its paces

Now if I could just learn how to edit this stuff...

I've got Vegas 10, been playing around with stuff with the T2i.

Not terribly planning on using the video underwater maybe sometimes during hikes and such.

So many mental images to process.

I have a copy of Sony Vegas too. Is it any good?

I like it well enough. Easy enough to sync separate audio / video... nice transitions.

I'll need to try it. I shot a bunch of video this morning of a race car starting up for the first time with my parts in it. 600HP to the wheels, it sounds so good.

Sony Vegas is great, especially the newer versions. It's nowhere on par with Final Cut, but for the price it's outstanding. If you guys need any tips on using it, just let me know. I've been doing video editing since the ol' Video Toaster days.

You got a laptop? Load it on there and we can meet for beers and video.

I need to start picking up more weekend gigs. I get bored at home alone... Might as well work.

Well we could all get together one Sunday afternoon and shoot RB's, tell lies and generally have some fun...

I've been shooting off road video with the G12 for over a year now and love it! I bought a RAM mount for the inside of the FJ and it works like a charm.

The Go Pro offers a little more durability in the way of being able to be mounted on a roll cage.   I rarely ever use the 7D for video.

Like you, I need to learn the editing part. The Youtube editor blows.

supply and demand.

At this stage of the game, that's where I'd say R2K Studios is at right now. When I first shot at R2K I paid $40/hour for a two hour minimum and that included lights, modifiers, use of the paper, and furniture and props. Now they are $75/hour for just the studio, no lights, and Roxy wanted to charge me $10/foot for use of the paper. That was the last time I ever booked there. It's also about this point in town where everyone in town starts wondering why studio space is so fucking expensive in Vegas.

Exactly! After she scammed me on a studio rental that all of a sudden doubled and went "ala carte" because we needed to use a sofa, I wouldn't step foot in that place again if my life depended on it. I have made no bones about letting every one that asks what that place is all about. Funny enough that they guy that partnered with her to open the business went out of business first. I went to his fire sale. Bad business plans coupled with bad business sense and poor customer service will always end the same way.

I need to find one of those

You quip? I've only been able to get up to banter with an occasional retort.

That was the second partner. The first one, where the name R2k came from,  bailed right away. No matter, R2k is a distant memory. It's been a fitness studio for about 6 months now.
