Part 47: Editing video + thoughts on future of Project L's video
Added 2016-03-18 09:53:28 +0000 UTCLooking through all the few clips of material that I shot with my 1D X, it’s coming more obvious and obvious that I’ll absolutely have to use it in the future; the clips are just so much higher quality. Sure, there’ll always be use for Sony’s action camera for candid shots, ongoing video and so on, but 1D X’s built-in video is just so much better.
I’ve been looking into getting a better rig to help stabilize the shots, but with little results; the decent ones seem to cost a fortune (around euros) and the cheaper ones just seem too weak to put ten thousand euros worth of camera equipment on. With the same price I could purchase a proper image-stabilized lens such as Canon’s 24-70mm f/4L IS, even though I’ve got the 24-70mm f/2.8L II – a lens that doesn’t have image stabilization. But I’m starting to think that it would be worth it.
What I’m asking for are your opinions; Would more video be able to push Project L further? And how could I produce such video the way of Project L’s spirit so that the videos won’t just be a regular “ooh looky, a girl in catsuit” presentation, but moreover a narrative piece with some kind of a meaning.
Of course, while at it, I must always think of the monetary side. Would that be beneficial? Youtube's potential is truly great, but is it that great for presenting latex clothing? Sure, I've got over 2,000 subscribers, but is that enough to push the upcoming videos to new levels?
Lately I've been thinking, and I'm now 100 % sure I want to do this for living. This is already the best hobby in the world, especially as currently I'm gaining more money than I'm losing – and that's extremely rare, and I'm so very, very thankful to you all for supporting Project L.
Besides that, there's another question; What more could I offer to Patrons that could increase one's pledge and perhaps gain more Patrons? Should I offer bigger prints or something beyond that? If so, what?
