I'm interested in the lighting you used. You mentioned a "work" from Home Depot. Can you clarify what that is and what you mean by burning hot in temp?

Hey Stormy, thanks! I use the Flip cam to record. The trick is to have enough lighting behind the camera, and not so directly "hot" on your. I bounced this light off the ceiling. It's not perfect, but worked. Then I import the raw .avi file from the flip into Sony Vegas. I do not edit the levels at all.

Then I render to .wmv files and use Tubemogul.com to upload. Nice and easy.

The key is lighting. I'm using a "work" like I bought from Home Depot now. It burns hot in temp, but it works. $50 :)

Jim,

What format are you using to upload to YouTube? The images look beautiful, much better than most of the stuff on YouTube. I know the camera is nice but wow.
