I think the easiest way to set up a website is to go to weebly. I think they’re as simple as it gets to create a pretty good website, all free. You can buy a website name called a domain and superimpose it over the free name you get from them. Other big free ones are wordpress, blogspot and typepad. There are books on website design at #000 to #005 at the library. If you want to learn the hard way, read this book then study html code.
Even though the following information was written for business websites, it can apply to any type of website.
If you're starting, you can get free website hosting service, do a free blog on a blog
Learn the Basics of Video-Making
You can't just pick up a camcorder and start recording. There's lighting, audio and perspective that have to be learned if you want a quality video that people can watch without feeling like they're watching an amateur piece of crap.
At the library, the photography books go from #770 to #779 then the movie books go from #791 to #793 but the technical books on how to shoot video which is called " Digital Video" are at #778.59.
There are books at #006.7 at the library that tell you how to shoot video then upload it to either a website like youtube or to your own website.
You have to learn how to shoot video properly so it captures the light and sound just right then you have to learn how to edit video on a computer.
The last computer I bought came with three separate movie-making software programs. Pick one and learn it.
There are "Standalone Systems" which are computers that do one thing only, edit videos. They don't send emails or do anything else.
I'm warning you, don't be a knucklehead and think you just point and shoot. A couple of guys wanted to get into porn. They pointed and shot then took the video to a porn producer who told them it was poor quality video that he couldn't sell because they didn't set up lights or use a light meter. They had to pay those people to have sex on film. They were too stupid to do some basic research about making a film before they shot it.
There's a documentary going around. I think it's called American Director. The guy has got good intentions but his movie doesn't cut it because it's amateurish using cheap equipment. You can make a full-length movie on the cheap but you can't go cheap on basic movie-making techniques. You have to know how to do this stuff. You just don't buy a camera and start making a movie right away.
Video takes up a lot of room. You need big hard drives.
There are devices that enable you to convert analog video to digital video.
Every movie-making software program has sound effects on it. There are a lot of visual effects too.
If you're making a video for sale worldwide, you have to learn about formats so that the DVD plays in all different types of machines.
If you're making a DVD, first you make a master then need software to make a menu which allows the viewer to choose the different videos on the disk if applicable. After that, make copies using DVD Burning software plus a DVD Recording Driver as opposed to a DVD Drive that just plays DVDs and doesn't have the technology to record them. Roxio.com and nero.com make most of the DVD ripping software.
If you are going to sell DVDs, you can buy a DVD burning drive that has LightScribe (hp.com) technology on it which enables you to flip the disc after you've recorded it and the drive will etch the design you created onto the disk.
You can use your skills to make TV commercials for companies, make presentation videos and spruce up videos like weddings, etc. with animation, editing and written captions.
To make your own movies you need a cast, places to shoot, a crew then you have to feed them.
