I want to post videos and pix on my food blog but I suck. So bad. I'm a professional editor but when it comes to hold a camcorder I'm a total clutz. Why can't I take good pictures? What do I need to learn? Learning form the shots I cut is not that easy, that footage is usually lightened by professional DPs, my videos and pix relies only on natural light, usually at a restaurant. What can I do to make it look good? Also, what camcorder shall I buy, that is not that intrusive? Restaurants don't really like conspicuous gear, I have to use a FlipMino to get away with it at the moment. Please help...

I have difficulties loading the pix, please check my other ad here: PIX FROM SET, at the bottom of the page

Looking for colorist -- Color (FCP) user preferred, to match footage on a Food Competition Pilot. 20 minutes long. Payment is deferred, but we have solid connections to set it up. here is a grab

I need it for only 3 days, 2 Sundays and 1 Monday. any good souls out there? btw -- I can't believe the good people I was able to find for my crew through this board. amazing.

As I mentioned before, the dates were not locked. We have now secured the locations and can lock the dates: SUNDAY Feb 15 SATURDAY Feb 28 SUNDAY March 1 MONDAY March 2 Although we had great responses and were able to assemble a great enthusiastic and capable crew, we are still in need of a production mixer. Hope to hear from you soon. Ciao. La Dolce Vita Films
