[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3970424, member: 24867"] Well, I've gone and done it! I have filmed my first ever watch repair video. Talk about a learning curve! I learned about 50 things during the process and I know I could make a much better video if I did it all over again. I have my 6139-6005 Pogue on the bench and did a detailed disassembly video. I completed my first attempt at editing last night and am currently in the process of uploading it. It's rough, and I had some short periods of time where the focus wasn't correct, but overall I think I could've done worse. I filmed it with my microscope camera and the new Nikon. I set the Nikon to auto-focus, and that was mistake number one. It kept trying to pick up my hand, or tools, etc. that moved in frame. When I film the repair and reassembly process I'll lock it to a fixed focus point and I think it'll solve my focus issues. I have to say that as much as the editing was a challenge, I think I am picking it up pretty quickly. I even put in a 'jumping ninja' in a short part of the video highlighting a YouTube subscribe request, haha!. One it's uploaded I'll share a link. I was hesitant because you turkeys can be tough crowd, but maybe one or two of you will offer some advice after you roast me for not being a good videographer. At least the technical data in the video is solid. I tried to go into detail on a lot of the items, more so than I find on similar videos. That's why I'm going to end up making separate videos for the disassembly, repair and reassembly stages. There's just too much info and if I put it all together the darn thing would probably be over 2 hours long! My video is 'amateur' in the absolute sense of the word. It's rough around the edges, etc., but I enjoyed the process. My hats off to people who do that for a living. It's certainly an acquired skill to make it look presentable. [/QUOTE]
