How to Make Music Videos with Canon EOS 7D

68

By arvino

Making video with the Canon 7D camera can take your music or video career to a whole new level without spending a fortune. Speaking of videos you might want to look purchasing this camera for videos shooting. Although it is an SLR it also functions as a 24p video camera  meaning your footage looks like film! Right now this is the camera that is the talk of the camera and video camera world. Many video makers and filmmakers are getting rid of their expensive gear in favor for this unit.

I am so going to buy this camera once I have enough money for it. It can take professional photos for your album packaging and also professional quality videos that look and behave exactly like 24 fps film. You won't need the major label video houses anymore but just this camera and Sony Vegas if you can purchase that as well. It's easy to learn actually and alot of fun to work with. The nice thing about having this unit is that it uses the fast Compact Flash cards and I recommend 16GB of storage if you can afford it. And you can make unlimited music videos or even full-featured movies to your hearts content. You would need to backup your video footage to a DVD-R external hard drive or Blue Ray recorder if you can afford a little more (since Blue Ray holds 25 GB of storage.)
You can edit the videos to your hearts content, add special effects, etc and then upload them to YouTube to generate web hits and interest.

There is this Filipino kid in California named Gabe Bondoc, who uploads his personal video blogs to YouTube every two days. It's just him singing and playing guitar with just 2 minutes worth of uploads. Over two years he's garnered over a million hits! When he came to Toronto, a huge 3000-person crowd came out to watch him and tons of screaming girls! And all for just upload 2-minute videos of him playing guitar and singing. He was very consistent doing this, which is the secret to Internet Marketing Success as a musician. He burnt his mp3s onto regular Maxell Cds amd posted about 20 of them because he is still a student. However, when He said that he couldn't afford alot of duplication at the time, but one by one he sold out all 20 cds and yet there was counted almost 2500 girls (in that order who were getting his autograph) who wanted to buy his CD!
He's not even signed either! Imagine that 2500 Canadian people all wanting to touch him, hold him, asking him to serenade to each girl.lol They would buy a regular CD-R of his mp3s that he did at the last minute and it sold out within a span of 2 minutes.
My friend this is the best time and the best age in the history of the music and technology world to be an independent artist. More power to us now!
