After a lot of trying I found it easiest to just set up the camera on a tripod between me and the table,I could then see what I was doing through the viewfinder (do they call it that on digital cameras?) and so "control the framing of the shot" rather than trying to explain to my mate what I was after.

 

It didn't come out (I had a couple of goes with both methods of filming) quite as well as I wanted! I couldn't do any real editing with the facilities Ive got so had to try and get it in one shoot which made it harder.I no understand totally about "out takes"!

 

Going to try and perfect this method a bit so I can use it to show rod/ tackle making and repair (maybe some fly tying) techniques that people are allways asking me about and have proved difficult to explain even with photos or diagrams.

 

I think its a good way to show stuff but Ive got to get the technical side (and my presenting!) sorted better! I think the camera Elton got me will be fine but now need to sort out the lighting! The halogen lights I have at present give everything a yellow cast and as you see from this attempt you cant allways rely on natural light!

 

I think its best to leave my head out though as I dont want AN's ladies getting to excited! Best get the nails manicured before episode two as well!

Sorry to bring this topic back up :-).

 

Just wanted to say thanks again for the video, I managed to get out fishing this weekend and needed to sharpen a hook and you video instructional worked perfectly and the hook was sharpened.

 

Thanks Budgie :-)
