Faerie


I'm a pianist and I need to record a video of my playing to apply for a scholarship. My church has a beautiful, massive Steinway Grand piano, the biggest one available. I would love to use it, but my family only owns home video cameras. Where could I find the proper equipment to make a good recording? Is it possible to hook a mic up to the inside of the piano? If so, how? Do you have any other ideas?


Answer
The best thing you can possibly do is to find a good audio person to record your performance. It will cost you a lot less than buying all the equipment you need. Once you have a recording you can make a video and you will use the audio track from that recording session. Try Craigslist to find an audio person that can record for you. They will come with mics and recorders. You can easily spend over $1,000 on some recording equipment and then you still don't know how to use it.

Where can I buy cheap disposable video cameras?




Working th


Looking to have a family reunion. My family is spread all over the US. So I know not all of them are going to be able to make it. What I wanted to do is send the family members that can't make it disposable video cameras in the mail so they could all record a video message and I can make a video montage and play it at the reunion. Not looking to spend any more than $20 for each camera. Need about 10 cameras.


Answer
You won't be able to find camcorders at that price BUT you may be able still do your project if those family members have their own devices capable of recording video. Most, if not all cell phones are capable of recording video. And many point-in-shoot digital cameras can record video as well. Also some computers have web cams and using capture software those cams can record video. Lastly, is asking the absentees if they can share a camcorder with other family members and/or borrow a cam from a neighbor or even from their local church or school. I think if you get the idea going with those who can't make it, they most likely would do what they can to participate in your project however they can.
