With the falling price of digital video cameras and the rise of PC video editing software, producing your own music video is definitely something most every musician can afford to do these days. All you need is a DV (Digital Video) camera, DV tapes, a location to shoot at, a PC, editing software (ala Adobe Premiere), and well, a band! Here's some info and tips regarding the important pieces of equipment you'll need.

1. Camera - You'll be better off buying a DV (Digital Video) camera, they're best for digital editing, later on. Decent DV cameras go for anything between 0 and 00, and the tapes are around a piece. One camera that I have used personally is the Canon GL2 MiniDV Digital Camcorder. I had nothing but good experiences with this camera. There are preset settings for the novice user, and at the same time it was very fine tuneable, for the experts out there. Make sure that your camera will shoot in progressive scan mode. Progressive scan is a particular method for displaying images, in which the lines of each frame are drawn in sequence. This will reduce the amount of flickering and increases resolution of the video you are recording. Most cameras come with microphones attached to them, but you probably don't want to use the audio that will be recorded by the on-board mic as it will be pretty low quality. I suggest picking up a minidisc recorder, run all your instruments into a mixer that is plugged into said mindisc recorder.

2. Shooting - You can shoot your video anywhere, and hopefully you will take advantage of that fact! When editing your video, you will be telling a story. So varied locations would be excellent. If you can, storyboard your video out before you begin scouting locations or shooting. It makes thing 1,000,000 times easier, trust me. One other thing I would recommend would be to make sure that you have adequate lighting. Normal indoor lighting is not picked up by the camera the same way your eye picks it up. I would suggest picking up a book about the basics of video lighting, if you can. But if that is not a possibility, remember one thing, more is better.

3. Editing - You're going to need to pull your video footage off of your camera onto your computer. Most DV cameras come with a USB cord which will allow you to do just that. You can use the proprietary software that comes with your computer to do that, or you can buy editing software which will do the same thing. Most PCs that have Window XP installed come with Windows Movie Maker. This is a great program for beginners, it allows you to pull footage off of your camera, and then edit said footage. But it doesn't come with very many editing features. So the more advanced editors might want to plunk down some cash and buy Adobe Premiere, which is a super flexible video editing program with a very steep learning curve. The advanced Mac users out there might want to check out Final Cut Pro.

Now that you have your edited footage, you'll want to output it onto tape or disc. The easiest thing to do is to burn it to DVD, which most editing programs will have a feature to do this. Once you have your video on DVD, the possibilities are limitless! I hope this article helped understand that music videos are now not just for the pros, anyone can do it yourself!

Comparison between video-based Canon HV30 MiniDV Canon HF200 and SDHC basis. I used the HV30 in the summer and also to do not with MiniDV cassettes, the HF200 that I, who used much smaller SD cards. The HV30 is a superior camera, but for non-Pro users myslef as I do not think that there is almost no difference.

Thinking about a mini DVD camcorder? You are not alone, there is a rapidly growing
Sector of the camcorder market, with Hitachi, Sony and Panasonic all making more
as a mini-DVD camcorders.

These camcorders differ from regular digital video cameras in one important respect -
video recordings of their mini-DVDs, rather than DV tape. This has a number of
Benefits. DVDs are more robust than tape and not get chewed up in the
Camera. While this isfortunately a rare occurrence, it scares me every time here is a
strange noise coming from my camera, so in that regard.

The second advantage is that DVD discs are random access than tape
everything is recorded sequentially. This means that it is not necessary
rewind and fast forward the clip for you to find, just select from the menu.
Some cameras also allow you to perform basic editing functions on the camera. A
additionalside benefit is that a mini DVD camcorder heads do not get
worn or dirty as in a regular mini DVD camcorders.

And third, you can easily see your movies from DVD by
Room and play in almost any DVD player.

However, there are negative factors. The most poignant is that the video
encoded in MPEG-2 to receive a mini DVD camcorder, as the DV format. This
means it requires special software to change -You can not just your normal
Video editing program (if not explicitly supported MPEG-2). And if a Mac user
You're out of luck because there is no MPEG-2 editing applications for Mac.

In addition, mini DVD camcorders tend to cost closer to specify mini-DV
Cameras. And the media is also more expensive. However, if you will not
Edit your movies and do not mind the extra cost, will provide a mini-DVD camcorder
exceptional comfort.
