T3i Canon DLSR Video Film Look – Online Degree in Video and Music Production

http://www.hiphopchordprogressions.com

http://www.producemusicvideos.com

This is a music video I produced with my baby boy Taylin. Basically I’m showing just how simple it is to produce nice music when you know music theory, chords and progressions or the cycle of fifths. As well as high quality music videos using the Canon T3i, T2i, 7D and 5D series cameras with the canon 85mm 1.8, 50mm 1.4, 28mm 1.8 lens. I was primarily concerned with the cinematic look of film for this video. Test with other cameras and lens are nothing compared to what I found useful with Canon Series cameras. Cinema Picture Style allowed me to get that real depth of field or bokeh to really pop out at you.

It was produced to introduce my new online degree programs and training courses at http://www.hiphopchordprogressions.com and http://www.producemusicvideos.com. In essence you don’t actually attain a degree, but your training courses will be almost equivalent to taking online classes or a real college media program..

The education presented in these online tutorials will have you shooting high quality professional style media. Added to this you can opt to take a music production course by learning the basics of Hip Hop production and music theory. I use a quick approach and equip you with all that you will need to accomplish all the things that a well known college such as Phoenix would teach you. But of course at the fraction of the cost.

This internet business has changed my life, helping me to attain knowledge that otherwise would take me an entire lifetime to achieve. But because of the business advanced knowledge, I’m able to assist anyone who is interested in learning or educating themselves in these various fields of curriculum. Cinematography has been a passion of mine for more that 20 years know and with the boom in reasonably priced technology we are now able to develop and dispense high valued high production quality works as the big hat industry has the ability to do without all of the college and expensive time consuming education out.

The software used to produce this production piece was Adobe CS5.5 Premiere, Photoshop CS5 Magic Bullet “Looks” After Effects for some minor color correction. The equipment used was Canon T3i, T2i 60D with Canon 50mm f1.4 Lens, 85mm 1.8 Sigma 1.8. I was trying to capture the footage the same way photographers capture photos. Color correction was done with this in mind as well. Looking to pickup the Canon 5D Mark iii

LOL….and no I didn’t go to any University to learn these things, and you won’t have to either, I had to go through a lot of trial and error, the only thing that was on my side is my love and passion for film and music and video production and art! I figured I’d kill to birds with one stone, my son wanted to be a Youtube celeb, and I’m guessing folks don’t want to see an old guy like myself up here putting it down, so I used my son to present my works to those who are interested in educating themselves in the world of mass media.

Fortunately for you and your business, reasonably priced software and hardware, along with new technology and easy accessible education, now you to can learn how to develop and deliver high quality content for Youtube, your company, label or any other media outlet you have going on for yourself. Join the associates of Beatmakers and Video producers and learn all you can, it will pay off for you in the long run…

I’m producing a video production project that demonstrates a variety of camera techniques including shots, angles, framing, movement, focus, white balance, composition, lighting and other experiments, as well as editing effects including animation, blue/green screen, keying, colour adjusting, cloning, slow-motion, image effects, transitions and sound editing. for more info go to http://www.producemusicvideos.com

This is the VOA Special English Economics Report from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish

Small business entrepreneurs play an important part in American job growth. Small businesses have created almost two-thirds of new jobs in the last fifteen years. The economy has traditionally been divided into three sectors. One is the private sector, meaning businesses. The second is the public sector, or government. And the third is the nonprofit sector. But now some people talk about a fourth sector. It represents nonprofit and for-profit organizations working toward goals of social change and environmental activism. Universities are starting to offer training and degree programs to prepare students to work in this area. One of these schools is Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. It now offers a degree in social entrepreneurship. Bernard Turner is director of the Center for Social Entrepreneurship at the university. He says student interest is driving many of these new programs. “Students are saying ‘Now I want to be an entrepreneur, but I want to do something that deals with a social problem or a social issue that’s dear to me.” William Paddock is founder and director of a business consulting company in Tennessee called WAP Sustainability. He has a business degree and training in the area of environmental sustainability. Recently, the Custom Packaging company of Lebanon, Tennessee, hired him to help make its business more environmentally friendly. The company makes cardboard advertising displays for sales campaigns. Mr. Paddock advised the company on recycling and ways to create less waste. He also persuaded the business to use electricity from solar energy. William Paddock offers his consulting services for profit, but says social responsibility is a big part of what his company does. “For us it’s about protecting the environment, being better to society, but also there’s an economic piece to it. We love to … find our passions, but also save somebody money.” There are now more than sixty American universities offering so-called green business degrees. The definition of social entrepreneurship and the exact nature of this sector continue to evolve. Some people are more interested in social programs and charity. Others are more interested in business plans and profits. But the root of the movement seems to be a desire to earn a living and make a difference at the same time. For VOA Special English, I’m Alex Villarreal. You can watch a video report on social entrepreneurship at voaspecialenglish.com.

You could build a 25 foot 9 inch house of cards with 1800 decks of cards… and a whole lot of patience.
You (and a friend) could ride a motorcycle from Alaska to Argentina.
You could watch a complete baseball game in all thirty major league ballparks. That’s a lot of hot dogs.
Why not run 7 marathons, on 7 continents.
You could build a spaceship and launch your dog into orbit. The Soviet Union did it.
Real people did all these things…so what could you do in 5 weeks? Something extraordinary.
Attend real classes for real credits at Kaplan University- and only pay if you stay.
Five weeks to see if Kaplan University is the right fit for you.
