As always, Chuck always has a great show! These are some great ideas that I had not even thought about.
Thanks for a great episode! This is just what I've wanted to know.... Believe or not they were not taught in the video courses I've taken. Thanks for your very professional, informative and practical tips. Please keep'em coming. As I progress out of my tiny camera I am also learning about the type of camera I want to save up and get.
Excellent! Wow I felt like I owe you some$$$ on that episode! I must say this was (in my opinion..)the best "TAKE 5" ever! Your tips on perpectives and tilt will save me and others 100's of dollars in video expenses; let alone seminars...Chuck! wonderfully done!...Hey Mark; "You gotta bring it on!" for the next Take 5...once again "well-worthy"
Great "point of view." Easy and simple to follow. I'm going to use these tips on every future shoot where I can.
This is better than going to school--I can learn right here in my studio. While I have heard most of these tips before they were never this clearly presented. I especially liked the segment on how to change the background by moving the camera and zooming in. I knew this but I didn't really because I never made this a part of my thought process while shooting. Another great job. You guys are changing the way I think about shooting and producing video. Thanks Again.
Very useful tips and easy to understand. The technical explanation on the aperture of cameras was interesting, especially for people who use the smaller cameras and wonder why the more professional cameras have more flexibility.
I used to never watch the videos ,, because of time (never having enough)
I would pass them by,
Not anymore I now always take the time to watch everyone I can , I was amazed of the little things I picked up from them , you can never have to much information , well about video production that is !!
Thanks for all the extra things you do for your customers

Fantastic episode! Just one nit. You said that the size of the lens on professional cameras was the reason for their ability to achieve a shallow depth of field. It's really a function of the size of the image sensor or sensors. A minor point in an otherwise entertaining and enlightening segment.
Peace,
Rob:-]
Thank you so very much. Wonderful. I am out the door to start praticing the tips. I have not used the creative angle on at all...so here goes.
As is usually the case, the 5 tips are very well explained and, more important, are effectively demonstrated. Unforgettable help that I am sure will be there when I need it. Thanks again.

This one is a download! I just got an awesome education in just a few short minutes. Now, would you be willing to give some shooting tips on using prosumer cameras such as the Sony HVR A1U. Honestly, there really is no place to get this kind of training outside of signing up at universities. How about offering traveling (Maryland, please) camera training shows.
YOUR THE BEST!
Chuck, this is one of my favorite episodes done by you! Great information. You can bet I'll be using it!
You know, I teach this stuff to my students and some of them get it. For those that don't, I think this video will help their retention rate dramatically.

Thanks Chuck -
Another great clip. But you overlooked the easiest way to tilt the camera - either just tilt the tripod head (if able) or shorten one leg of the tripod.
Great tips - 5 stars.
wow.....so far 70 people (as of Nov. 7th) have voted on this DJTV segment...and ALL 70 people who have voted on this gave it 5 STARS!!!!!..........well this is NO surprise to me...as I ALSO give it 5 stars!!!
Excellent, I am fairly new to special event videography and have used many of the tips that you offer. This episode is definetely one of my favorites. I found it both informative and will use it to my advantage. I use a VX2000 by sony and plan on upgrading in the near future.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for those who think about us learners. Very very cool.
Is there any way we can go back to the begining and see all clip of djtv?
Put all those tips on disk and member or a place to download which one we want like the magazine?
Keep the good work.

As always, this was a very informative episode. I will be able to use all of the information as I am always looking for ways to set my self apart from the home video shooter.
Excellent tips for really helping improve shooting techniques. Thanks, Chuck! The last couple of episodes have REALLY opened my eyes and got the gears turning. Looking forward to the next show!
Great tips as always! Love the definitions like a rack focus. I think thats what it was. I can't wait to use these tips on my next shoot. Thanks again Chuck!
I am amazed. You guys keep everything so simple and easiy to understand. How do you guys come up with all this stuff? Keep it up. I have learned more from DJ then any other book or video put together.
Though simple, these tips are truly a way to "depart from the norm". Your comment about that went something like: "shoot from an angle/perspective that allows the viewer to see things outside his/her normal paragidgm" Thanks cool!
In the most serious voice you could ever hear, my intern Lauren says, "Chuck gives really good tips." Really, we enjoy it. Keep it up.
Thank you, Digital Juice, for caring about your videographer community. Your tips have generous portions of helpful information. Thank you for offering such clear instruction to the growing videographer and such helpful aids to the more-experienced cinematographer.
I plan to point my less-experienced crew members to your site so that they can catch up with the power of the camera in their hands... and that they, too, can come up to...
"speed"

You guys do a great job of succinctly showing how to think as a shooter. I remember learning this stuff and it was way more drawn out and nowhere near as good as you did it. DJTV rules.
Watch the barbs about the "tiny consumer camera".
This was the most jam packed segment of useful tips so far. I really appreciate all that DJTV is giving to us who are just starting out.
Brilliant! Just brilliant.
I can't tell you how hard I have tried to explain these concepts to people in a video class. Chuck made it easy to understand with the graphics and footage. 5 stars from me!
Very nice tutorial. Just want to warn people that Dutch tilts are a spice, not a main ingredient. Over-using them or using them in the wrong context screams amateur.
Great Job Chuck! You provide a lot of great information in a very short amount of time and give us great ideas and remind us to use what we know but sometimes get too complacent to implement! Your tips have got to be so informative to those amateurs who turn to DJTV for help as it even reminds me, a professional, of things thay may slip my mind from time to time. Awesome and keep it up!
The best tips around, ever! You all are to be commended for these quality teaching aids. You make dull Mondays exciting.
You guys are simple the best!! Excelente!! A great way to learn how to be a better videographer or filmaker. Thanks for your tips!!
Great Stuff Chuck... I appreciate all of the tips from you guys.... just one of the best things DJ has done in the last few months...well besides all of the specials and deals...Thanks again... Dave
Very helpful as always. I plan to use some of this in training sessions for our church camera crew. Thanks Chuck and DJTV!
Thanks a lot I found you, your tips are very usefull. I learn a lot from you...pls send me more tips...Thanks
