They can be. Phone cameras, like DSLR cameras, are great for filming stills. The difference is they do not have a high ISO setting. If your main camera is a $1500 Nikon D5, your DSLR (or equivalent) is going to do just fine. And even if your DSLR is not up to your standard, you […]
Music videos aren’t difficult to make — or make with the right equipment. The most important step is choosing the right soundtrack. I was shooting a music video for a hip-hop duo called D-TRAK. My wife helped me put together a soundtrack and was incredibly helpful in helping me select what was appropriate. At the […]
Which camera will have the best image resolution? When will 4K come and when can I buy it? Will it really replace my 6k DSLR (D610)? I was looking at this thing. Will I really pay nearly $2000 for it? I thought about buying a Nikon DSLR, but would it be worth it to invest […]

This resolution is equal to 2160 x 1200 (the highest resolution that you’d expect your device to display after turning down your resolution by 200%). That is enough to show you almost all of the screen in the video. Why is your device limited by 1080p? […]

Most people edit their videos in a little over one hour, so while the speed of the editing software and editing software you use is different, the process of editing a video is similar. Here is an excerpt from an article written by Chris McCamley entitled How to Make YouTube Videos: A Beginner’s Guide on […]
A DSLR can take pictures, but it lacks the ability of video to make a large impact for most situations. Many films take great videos but they don’t translate well to a DSLR. But when you’re shooting a movie, you don’t want to watch your finished video. Even with a DSLR there are still times […]
In early 2016, a Spotify representative told The Music Business, “One million streams is the maximum amount Spotify pays to a record company and is a small portion of the music industry.” That would mean that Spotify pays $100M for one million streams. The representative said the amount paid is smaller because streaming music has […]
