I get a lot of questions about what camera I shoot my videos with for my you tube channel LeFloofTV. I will be making a video tutorial for you tube about tips and tricks for shooting higher quality videos broken into sections, lighting, video, rendering and compressing. Those 4 elements are the most important factors when shooting a video for you tube. You tube use a process of conversion in order to display your videos in a fast streaming environment by converting them to flash using a codec called On Vp6. This codec changes the bit rate and frame rate. When I render out my final video I use a codec called MPEG2 which has a similar bit rate and frame rate and I convert my final video output to an MKV. Once I have created the MKV file I will force the extension to an AVI so You tube will process it faster and the MKV file size will compress a 1GB avi file to a small 10MB file without loosing any quality. I know this might all seem a little too complicated, but when I started showing Anna all these processes she thought there would be no way she could figure all this out, but now Anna is able to render out her videos, compress them and upload them without any help from me. Below is a few images of my current production rig I have used for my last few videos.

My main issue with shooting motion with this camera was the ability to hold the camera still. I needed to get it up on my shoulder, otherwise i wouldn't be able to shoot video.

I have a mounted Canon body with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II and 4 part macro extension tubes and 1 part wide angle adapter.

I am using a shoulder mount, spring loaded steady cam arm with belt attachment, matte box with French flag and top, an LCD and Sennheiser MKE 300 with wind dampener, which i will move from on top of the camera to the side.
