EASTON, Pa., Aug. 4, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- AnnaBil Productions' new 30-minute, step-by-step DVD or VHS guide teaches people how to master their camcorders to produce unforgettable home videos. The pros' angle in the "Great Home Videos" guide is to teach the enthusiastic amateur the tricks of the trade so they, too, can create professional-looking home videos.
Dracie Claus, owner of AnnaBil Productions, holds a B.A. in Radio/TV/Film from Temple University, and has worked in the television industry for twenty years. She said, "The 'Great Home Videos' guide came about out of frustration. It never failed. At every sporting event or vacation, I kept watching folks make the same basic mistakes with their camcorders. Parents of young children are especially prone to wanting to capture those magic childhood moments, but often miss the mark due to lack of technique. It saddened me to think their videos were hardly capturing life's precious moments. Yet the enthusiasm was there; they just needed the skills to capture moments they'll cherish for a lifetime."
In Ms. Claus' 30-minute "Great Home Videos," you'll learn all the ins and outs of the media industry from how to have steady hands without a tripod to creating the perfect composition to frame your shots. You'll know how to analyze the background to make the wisest choices and what to edit out to sharpen the excitement. You won't always have perfect lighting to work with, but you'll learn how to beam up what you do have into a perfect shot. In the time span of those 30 minutes, you'll learn how to treat your new best friend, the camcorder, and have fun in the mix.
Pop in the simple step-by-step instructional video, "Great Home Videos" and shoot your next big football game or a season full of soccer games. Pick up the vivid color of parades, the solemnity of graduations, the joy of first birthdays and the golds of a 50th anniversary party. The "Great Home Videos" guide will turn you into your camcorder's biggest ally. In the span of 30 minutes, you'll learn to shoot like a pro using all the secret professional techniques that enhance a video and make it a family keepsake forever.
