Although I am keen to make my own tuition videos and inject my own experience and sense of fun into them I’m also aware that there are many good ones already floating around the internet. I believe that in all aspects of life you should play to your strengths, my strengths are experience in the real world, shooting in all environments and using a plethora of different equipment. I am though new to the HDSLR revolution and the rise of cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II. In this post I wanted to embed a few videos that I’ve have found to be really useful in setting my own Canon 5D and maximizing it to the best of its ability.

In the first one below, HDSLR guru Philip Bloom gives an impromptu lesson to a Cameraman whose Camera setting are all wrong. . .

In the next film Christopher K gives a good intro to the White Balance settings on a 5D. . .

And finally I found this video helpful also, especially as it helped me to change my menu settings to avoid automatic exposure compensation, which was becoming a real pain. . .

A couple of weeks ago myself and good friend Aulrich Market decided to put my new 5D Mark II through its paces. We got in touch with the Gauteng Spinning Association in Johannesburg and arranged to go and film one of their events. Aulrich took my Canon HV30 as a second camera and we had an afternoon of great fun making this short film about spinning (drifting).

It’s been a difficult time for race relations in South Africa. The murder of AWB leader Eugene Terreblanche set in motion a bizarre chain of events. We saw swastika waving racists take to the streets of Ventersdorp. A sinister outburst on local network ETV by AWB Spokesman Andre Visagie who threatened his fellow panelist and then, hours later in front of a bank of TV cameras, ANC Youth League President Julius Malema abused BBC Reporter Jonah Fisher calling him a bastard.

All of these incidents immediately made an impact on social networking sites, the video clips quickly went viral and were soon being spoofed to hilarious effect.

Last night I was filming people queuing to buy world cup tickets. After telling people I was filming for the BBC every single person quoted Julius Malema at me jokingly calling me a “bastard” and “a bloody agent”. I think it says a lot about South Africans how quickly they have been able to laugh about all of these incidents and turn them into something funny. In this blog I’m bringing together all of the related video and audio clips, starting with the original incidents themselves and then the spoofs.
