I can't wait until I get better at using it! It's going to be so fun! : )

This one costed about $1,900 for the adapter and rails. The lens was about $1,200. I got a few other toys as well, but I haven't brought them out yet.

Hey, Cory, what is wrong with your grammar! Your first sentence should be "This one COST about $1,900 for the adapter and rails" LOL.

Thank you : )

I've already been using it for my new video and there were a few other scenes I wanted to throw in for you, but I didn't want to give away what the video was about.

Completely understandable Im sure with your vision they look great man..excited to see the extended version! aka the finished project

Lucky dude! What camera does he have?

thats the sad part, we have no camera. so we keep borrowing cameras from his friends.

WHAT??? You have a LEX and you DON'T have a camera?!?! What's wrong with you people! lol j/k

yeah yeah i know. well he has been wining awards for his short film. and he has been building up money to make a feature film and to buy a new camera. but we only have messed around with it, really havnt used in a actually shoot.

How can he have the money to make features and to buy the Letus, but NOT buy A camera?

YOU'RE HURTING MY BRAIN!!! lol

haha.

The thing is, the short was filmed on actually film. It the camera was borrowed from his college and bought the film reels for cheep. And over time they keep selling dvds. And he let's other friends use it for money. So with those two bolt up, hopefully we can start this thing by next December. And I you want to see the short, it's on myspace- the coffin maker.

This one isn't meant to make sense. It was just a test to show you the new effect. I'm good btw, you?

Good but i'm having a hard time with the vimeo account
[I'm new]

It's easier than YouTube : )

I guess your right.

The horror video is actually the reason I got this. I have wanted this for so long but I've been waiting for the right time to get it and now is that time. Yes, it will be an interactive video btw : )

The color effects are simple, but in all honesty, it depends on the footage you're editing. Sometimes great cameras can be hard to correct and crappy cameras can be easy. The most important thing you should have is decent lighting. Color correcting is usually easier no matter what if you have good lighting.

Oh so money isn't a concern to you Mr. I make 20,000$ a month??? lol jk.

Thanks for the tips Cory.

Do you know if iMovie 08' or iMovie HD has color correcting?

They both do as far as I know. Final Cut Pro will have a more in depth version of it, but I'm sure it's not too much different.

Thanks : )

it really depends. because it can be done with the camera your using or it could be done in editing.

What you're seeing is called "narrow depth of field". You can achieve this look with just about any camera by zooming close into a subject from far away. The adapter just allows me to stand closer while doing this.

I did this without the adapter in "The World's Best Gamer" where I dragged the table across the carpet.

If the quality were always the same, then you'd only be expecting my best. Sometimes though, I like to film with my other cameras just because it's different. Either way I'll do my best with what I'm using : )

It's so cool to know that you're still here!

I read A LOT of comments but yours always make me the happiest... even if you just say "hi" : )

(To everyone else: BamBamsGurlMoo has been watching me BEFORE I was even on YouTube! I consider her my first over seas friend)

Aww cory its amazing to have true friends like you and steph. No Matter what i'll always be here for you guys. DAMn a guy punched a wall cause i supported you guys more then him. We all got thru the dificult times and are now way betetr off for it. HUGGLES

OMG... don't even get me started on those possibilities, lol. If that technology comes about while I'm still alive, I will make a video with it! Mark my words.

Thank you : )

Halloween video??? I did that one already with the pumpkins. You mean the interactive horror?

Yes sorry about that. The interactive horror thing is going to be sweet. I did see the pumpkin carving video and it was funny. I also liked the repost Mean Kitty Creature of the Night. Also good job on the award.

Yeah, feel free to call me though and I'll give you some tips. I figured it all out pretty quick.

BTW, I just looked at your account. WHERE ARE YOUR VIDEOS? Vimeo is so pretty and I know how much time you spend making your art. You should post it here so people can see it in it's full beauty! I'd watch : )

Yeah, I tried uploading on here- but it was taking forever for just a few second clip. Thanks, I'll give you a call tomorrow, looking forward to your tips.

I used After Effects for a while, but it just didn't give me the pay off I wanted. I can do just about anything I want as it is anyway if I put my mind to it.

They're fun : )

Oh, um... maybe next time? lol j/k

pwned.

It's totally worth it! BTW, if you do get one, tell them I sent you! After you buy one they offer you to be a partner, meaning if you refer someone to them, they'll pay you.

ok! cool. thanks cory!

No, but I should. I may even make one because they're not actually that hard to make.

Yeah. I've even seen a video of how to make one from lego. Anyway I love your work,your an inspiration and I cant wait to see what you do with your shiny new equipment.

Good Luck.

10 years ago when I first joined YouTube, all I had was a $300 Sony Handicam, a working computer, and $50 editing program. It wasn't until 1 year AFTER I joined YouTube that I got a better camera. Then I got this camera less than a year ago. The point is, if you really want something just do it and KEEP DOING IT! If you truly believe in yourself and your work, then money will come magically... yes I said magically. I don't charge people to watch my videos like film makers usually charge people to watch theirs... so where does my money come from to afford this? Sponsors who like to invest their money into people with passion. If you do something long enough, you'll get better at it.

You know the Naked Cowboy in New York right? Why do you think HE is famous? There are plenty of other people in other places that do the same thing... so why is it we only know him? The answer to that question is how success is made : )

Cool, Same here I Have $300 Sony Camcorder
But I Only Have 240 subscribers

Not sub for subs
thanks
YOU ROCK, and ur inspiring
P.S
Congrats on That Stray Cat award!

Again... it's not about how many subscribers you have. It's about how much you love what you do that matters. If you have fun with your creativity, it will show through in your videos. People like watching other people have fun, plain and simple.

Why do you think I post videos on Vimeo? Because I think it's prettier and a little more fun. Notice how I answer more comments here : )

Your Really Inspiring!
Thanks so Much!

I love filming lens flares from the sun! The lens totally made it look better too.

i would love to see some shots with and without the lens to see the difference it makes

Dude, once you know your camera inside and out you should TOTALLY get the Letus! The DVX100 is a very nice camera and many professionals still use it today for viral videos.

Yea I've had my DVX for about 4 yrs now and still wouldn't say I know everything about it, but once I am able to I will most definitely go the route of the Letus...It's amazing, and I know once I have the opportunity to shoot with it, I will fall sooo deep in love with it.

Hey Cory,

I also wanted to ask you about a good mic you would recommend to replace my onboard mic on my dvx100. The sound quality on most onboards are pretty horrible. I know the one on the dvx is. I am looking to get a good external mic to add on. I tried to ask trippy what he uses on his, but he never responds to me :-(

Thanks dude, I would appreciate it.

MDR PROD

I have an HV30 as well and there is an adapter for the Letus that fits it. Of course, I'm shooting with the XHA1 so the colors and clarity may pop out a bit more than the HV30, but I've seen footage from the HV30 that could have fooled me for sure! Just search "HV30 Letus" here on Vimeo for some examples of footage.

Awesome! I can't wait to see what you do with it as well!

Thanks

I WISH YouTube had this kind of quality... all my dreams would come true then, lol

All your dreams ??? *gg*...

Can't wait to see the new stuff with the "film"equipment :)

Ok, not all my dreams... but the majority of them. I just wish everyone who watches me could see me at my best. It sucks when I add so much detail to a video that's ripped apart by a low quality compressor (such as YouTube's).

I know what you mean! I uploaded a shortfilm (student project) and I was so pissed when I saw the quality, I felt like the whole thing was falling apart... a friend of mine uploaded a vid with mostly pictures from a SLR and the compressor blow the quality... he was so obsessed to find a hack or a possibility to tune it for youtube that we didn't see him for several days/weeks...

....but you are always to critical with yourself. Others won't care. the crapiest mobilephone-snaped-vids on yt will have 5 Stars cause the people are entertained and the HQuality things with great editing and amazing acting will fail, cause they didn`t like the font you chosen for your intro... the YT audience doesn't care that much about the quality, they like what you are doing... and as it is the platform where you earn your money atm, don't waste your energy on beeing perfect... (Save it for the big projects in the future :))...

It'll be amazing looking for sure! I just need to buy some extra lights now because the new rig doesn't so as well in the night.

It wasn't a program... it was an adapter for my camera called "Letus Extreme" with a Canon lens attached.

Youtube can, 720p at least. Go here youtube.com/watch?v=suO7CbFAKLY&fmt=22 and watch in full screen.

It is my video (Only one Ive tried, and is a great examle), and Youtube is letting people have 720p video secretly. But Vimeo is still better Haha...

i saw it and it was incredeble!! do you have to do anything just upload it?
