The Down and Dirty DV Podcast Goes Worldwide Live


The Down and Dirty DV Podcast is officially live and available to the free world. The podcast, like this blog is all about low-budget digital filmmaking. The podcast episodes will randomly alternate between enhanced audio and video podcasts.

Episode #1 - Choosing A Camera
In Episode #1 I break down how to choose a camera for purchase or rental. Specifically, how to choose a prosumer DVcamera in the $2,000-$10,000 range. Episode 1 covers the key considerations to look for in a DV camera for guerrilla shooting. (Run Time: 20mins.) Episode 2 is actually Part 2 of the same topic where I cover secondary camera features that you also want to consider when choosing a camera. Episode 2 will be posting in the next week or sooner, as I just need to polish up some things.

Enhanced for Your Guerrilla Pleasure
Episode 1 is enhanced audio. If you view it via an iPod or iTunes on your computer, you will also see pictures and links to some of the topics at hand. The links will generally be to articles or websites where you can get additional info, see reviews or purchase the product being discussed.
