Ready, Steady, Shoot ~ Review & Giveaway!!!!!

Ready, Steady, Shoot.
Three words you need to know for great videos of whatever you desire.


That's it.
Just three little words.


Easy, right?
I know, a lot of people freeze up when it comes to taking videos.


This book, Pocket Posh Guide to Great Home Video, Ready, Steady, Shoot by Roger Sherman, is the book for all of us.
Yes.
All. Of. Us.
No exceptions.


I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to review it.
It is extremely informative.
My fav chapter: Zooming Equals Death.
Poetic, no?
Seriously, it explains why zooming is not always the best option when filming (ever see Blair Witch Project? Have to take an anti-nausea pill afterwards?...that why!)


Remember, now a days, you aren't just using a video camera to film...everything from a Flip to your iPhone is able to take videos now.  This book is essential for all the video capable devices.


Using the author's 10 Shot Video learning system, anyone can practice making short, easy to understand exercises to get the hang of it.  The best part: The book is only about 4x6 so it is easily portable.  I take it with me to Cheeks flag football on Sunday & read when he's not playing.  Seriously, flag football can be slow you know...tee hee.


Of course, this book will be coming in very handy when Tim graduates this June.  In 2008,  ok 1998, hmph in 1988 when I graduated high school no one thought to video me.  Of course back in the day video cameras where huge...they were getting smaller but nothing like today.  Can you really believe I graduated that long ago? I know! Me either.


I digress.


Now onto the best part, how would you like to own this book?
Your very own copy of Pocket Posh Guide to Great Home Video, Ready, Steady, Shoot by Roger Sherman!


Just fill out the Rafflecopter form & your chances are good!!!!

Nessie & Me...a Review & a #Giveaway

Need a cute movie for the little ones to watch, this is the one. Cheeks & I watched it, we liked it, albeit a bit young for my 10 year old boy.  I would say good age range for kids is maybe 3 to 7. Here's a bit about the movie: The Loch Ness Monster has been back in the news following a recent sighting and resurfaced pictures, just in time for the release of family movie  “Nessie & Me,”  which is now available on DVD & VOD, courtesy of Vision Films! When 9-year-old Jamie moves to a beautiful lakeside village, he befriends a grumpy old sea captain who tells him of the lake’s mythical creature named Nessie. The townsfolk don’t believe him, but Jamie wonders if Nessie can be the solution to save the town from a greedy mogul who is buying up land around the lake… if only he can prove that Nessie is real. But sometimes it takes a little bit of magic, and with the help of a mermaid, a treasure map and an unlikely friendship with Nessie the Sea Monster, ...

Green Giant: Raise A Giant (Giveaway too)

At Green Giant® we know it takes a lot more to raise a healthy child then just getting them to eat their vegetables. Kids these days live in a world that is bigger and scarier than the world we grew up in, and they need help and encouragement to navigate that world with confidence and pride. Unfortunately one of the hardest things kids have to deal with is bullying. When a child is bullied by a peer it can turn his or her life into a daily gauntlet of fear and anxiety. That’s why Green Giant® is partnering with PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center and We Day Minnesota to help parents Raise A Giant and put a stop to bullying in their community. What Does it Mean To Be A Giant? Being a giant isn’t about being the biggest or the best. Being a giant means standing up for others. It means lending a hand to those who are in trouble and speaking up for those who sometimes find it hard to speak up for themselves. Studies show that an effective way...
