The Crane, Boom, or Jib shot

I decided to do a little experiment to see if this could be done effectively without investing a lot of money into a jib or boom. It actually came out pretty good for the first try. Check it out. Leave a comment if you have any suggestions on how to make it better.

Rear Window Video: Episode Four

Back in the Belton/Raymore area today. We actually got some pretty good footage. Check it out.

Rear Window Video: Episode 3

We expand our horizons a bit with this one and travel to Overland Park Kansas for a sequence of Rear Window Videos. This was a fun day.

Canon Vixia R700 Returns...

I tried this camera a few weeks ago, but my heart was craving a Canon G7X (since Casey Neistat uses one. LOL!) So, I got one to use in the Magnum Mobile for my Rear Window video. It didn't work out as well as I had hoped. This video will tell you why. So, when that didn't fill the need, I went back and purchased another Vixia R700 to give it another test. Here's my final opinion...

REAR WINDOW VIDEO: Episode Two

This is the second episode of the new Rear Window Video feature on my Magnum Videos YouTube channel. This footage was shot in the Belton/Raymroe area in Cass County, Missouri. I'm not sure what the guy in the pick up truck is doing, but it looks pretty serious. Leave a comment and tell me what you think.

And if you happen to see that metallic gray Ford Escape Magnum Mobile, get behind it and give us a smile! I'll make you a YouTube star!
