And like guitar, that takes practice,
Why do you want to just set the camera on a tripod and leave it alone, lol? You aren't going to get good quality like that or learn much that way. Video and stills are a two step process and every shoot is really two shoots- stills and video- on my sets so that they both come out correctly. I could tell you what kind of HD videocamera, still camera bodies & lenses, what type of professional video lighting and strobe lighting equipment I like to use and what some of the other big sites have their shooters use but you're going to spend a lot of money to get all of that stuff and still not know how to use it.

True all that you say bro. I knew i was asking something like that :P
I just need some guidance to start this long journey as i said. There are lots of equipments, techniques, etc and i don;'t have a clue where to start!
Please, tell me what equipment you use for lightning and shooting HD video/stills so i can start doing research on how this equipments work, what can i take advantage of them and start renting some of them for practising
I'm very picky with my work, i'm about to launch a couple of paysites next week, hopefully you will like them, content is old, but you'll see the quality of tours designs, promot tools, etc.
I'm kinda obsesive with quality when it comes to terms of products, i like being proud of what i do, not just make some quick bucks out of them, thats why i would like to, even when today its very cheap purchase HQ HD content, try to make some exclusive nice shoots .... I have a lot of fresh good performing talents i can hook up which i met on an obscure part of my life ( Escorts, underground models, etc ) LOL, i know how much they can transmit erotism into camera, i just need the right equipment to get that into a decent HD footage
I have a big house with lots of rooms to build different locations. So i just need right now a good equipment with which i can be familiarized and start doing some camera tests.
So, if you could tell me the equipment you use as you said, that would be great. Scenes would be solo girls, teasing and dancing so sound capture its not that important, i actually thought putting them a nice song to perform with and then just edit the audio layer and take the music out of it and add a new layer with the music itself ( kinda throwing away the enviroment sound, not sure if that is a right move or its something a newbie only could think of doing .... ).
So, could you give me tips on lightining equipment and good HD cameras to take steady shoots, another one to use as a secondary HD camera which i will use ( so preferable easy to use for newbies ) which i will use to shoot the same footages being shoot by the steady cam from other point of view when i see something the talent is doing i like maybe for editing or just promo content, and at last, a good equipment for doing HQ pictures ( Would be nice if you could recommend me a camera that could do both things, i mean taking pics and doing HD filming, again, i'm not a fan of doing camera, but i'm very obbsesive with my products results [ This paysites i'm launching, i had been working on them for 2 years now ... ] and i think the only way i will be satisfied with the content results is by either doing it myself ot after crashing myself lots of time to the wall by hating the results of my shoots, at least purchase decent content after having some experience doing it ... Its hard to recognize sometimes good producers when you never shoot anything in your life ;P A little bit of practice wont hurt and could be fun ).
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer bro, hope you could guide me on this, and i will for sure check your store and see if i can purchase some content from yours in the future for your heads up
