AutoIt

Passed on to me by Cate – A freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages. Get it [here]

PodCamp Philly Video Sessions

David Tames – freelance producer, director, editor, and videographer, gave two great sessions today on lighting and video. I recorded both of them on Ustream.

First Hour

Low-budget interview lighting with professional results

A demonstration of classic three-point lighting and discussion of several low-budget approaches to good interview lighting. Includes an overview of popular lighting kits and suggestions for putting together your own custom kit based on your specific needs.

Second Hour

Pro video results on a low budget

Go beyond the basics of audio and video shooting and learn practical tricks and techniques that make it easy to achieve professional results with your videoblog on a shoestring budget in this highly interactive session driven by participant’s questions.
