HVS Top Five Vacation Video Tips
Summer vacation is such a great time to shoot video of your family. Here are five tips to make your family memories the best!

#5 - Shoot lots of candid video
You don't have to herd everyone into a group shot while they wave and say "cheese"! Much more interesting is shooting candid videos of your subjects living real life.


#4 - Get plenty of footage to edit
Your video camera is not a still camera. Keep it rolling for awhile rather than just getting small snippets. You never know what someone might say or do that will make your scene.


#3 - Let the scenery speak for itself
Don't forget to establish the setting. Let the scenery be the star of your video once in a while as well.


#2 - Use video shorthand to document moments
This is where you can really get creative. Instead of your subject saying, "We're in the hotel room because it's raining" you might show rain dripping off the roof. Instead of saying (off camera) "Boy, it's sure hot today!" show a quick moment of a man with his shirt wrapped around his head, or a bottle sweating in the sun.


#1 - Make it fun
Family videos are about fun and precious memories that will be enjoyed for years. If your subjects are having fun it will be fun to watch!

- Stacey McDermott from Westfield
I am a teacher in Westfield, and usually around this time I scramble
around last minute trying to put together a DVD for each of my
students as an end-of-the-year gift.

Not this year! When I heard about Home Video Studios from a
colleague I immediately e-mailed Dan about my project. He got
right back to me and even stopped by my classroom to finalize details.

I had just recently purchased an iflip video camera and was
apprehensive about using it correctly-Dan helped me out on all fronts.
The day after giving him my video, I had a bag of 23 DVDs delivered
to my classroom- complete with a picture of my class on the disc itself.

I told Dan, "I hope you don't mind when you get an e-mail from
me EVERY year around this time!" I would recommend
Home Video Studios to all my friends, colleagues, and family
members. Thanks!!
