Videoguys' Tips for Shooting Family/Home/holiday Video (Holiday 2006
update)

If your like me, you shoot tons of video of your family. I've got
hours and hours of videotape of my kids. Over the past 10 years I've
learned a thing or two about getting the best possible footage. No
matter how cool your NLE system is and how many awesome special
effects you can add, the bottom line is this: The video is only as
good as the video you shoot.

If the quality of the video is poor, then no amount of editing is
going to make it look better. By shooting better and getting more
cinematic, your videos will look better and the editing will be
easier! So here are a bunch of really useful tips and tricks hat will
help you shoot better video and capture the moments.
