* Canon Scoopic MS 16mm *

movie film camera

 

 

 

I just bought a mint Canon Scoopic MS 16mm movie film camera to add to her growing collection of 16mm and 8mm movie cameras.

 

This camera is amazing for filming weddings. The Canon Scoopic was last made in 1977 and is in the Hall of Fame of 16mm cameras. I am testing it now with the new crystal sync audio modification. I am excited to use it on my upcoming  films projects.

Visit Super8Weddings website.

 

P.S.   I am selling my Canon Scoopic M 16mm camera if anyone is interested.

'room shots' and he is now making a training video to teach other photographers his secrets and techniques.

There is no better photographer when it comes to photographing

'room shots' than Juan Carlos. He is a master of lighting, literally painting the room with a combination of strobe and tungsten lights to make his images true works of art. He's also an amazing wedding, portrait and corporate photographer.

The People's Inaugural Project

 

 

Jenny is filming this amazing 3 day event.

 

The Stafford Foundation, a private foundation committed to helping underserved, marginalized and distressed individuals, has announced its unprecedented inauguration celebration plans at The JW Marriott Washington, D.C. hotel, located between the Capitol and the White House.

 

"Our foundation is thrilled about the unprecedented opportunity to bring Americans of every walk of life together for a momentous celebration," said Earl W. Stafford, Sr., who founded the Stafford Foundation in 2002. "We are committed to giving the underserved a chance to prosper and thrive, and these events will offer them a front-row seat to our nation's historic celebration in downtown Washington."

 

Thanks to the foundation's $1 million investment, participants will attend the events and stay at the JW Marriott free of charge. A third of the tickets for all the Stafford Foundation events will be distributed to hundreds of marginalized Americans who have demonstrated a positive example by embodying hope and facilitating change in their communities.

  Questions Most Videographers

 DON’T Want you to Ask:                     
 

1)   How will my movie sound? How will you record the audio and music?
2)   How do you handle lighting?
3)   How do you plan to tell the story of my day and make it personalized?
4)   What vendors would refer me to you if I asked for the best?
5)   What is your backup plan?
6)   How do you get great shots without being in the way?
 

 

But Jenny will be happy to discuss these with you.
