For those who follow my latest activities since I scaled down my OSNews participation, they know that videography has been it. Recently I tried to get more serious about it and so last week I shot a music video clip for a local Bay Area indie band, the HIJK (song is available for free download on their site). Should not be a surprise either that two out of the three band members are actually software engineers, this is the Silicon Valley after all. The following is an account of how I did everything and I also give some pointers on how to help your own favorite local indie bands with some video promotion. I find it to be one of the many ways to stick it to the RIAA and their status quo in the market. Update: Added a small making-of video.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I am planning to purchase a new Canon HD cam it's Canon HF100 (I know it is not one of the ones you recommended). But I have been searching around and I think it fits my needs best. I am a Canon fan and I prefer their products over Sony.

Thank you for the obligatory "why is this on OSNews?" post. An article deviating from Linux discussion just wouldn't be the same without it.
Being a musician, computer geek, and amateur video guy I enjoyed the article. Especially since I too use Sony Vegas; it's a great app!

Those "why is it here" comments come from crossing the line with news that have little to do with operating systems. This article doesn't even come very close to the geek culture. Opinions on consumer products, "indie" music (usually bland and boring) and intentional acting as an anti-social looser try to define modern geek culture - I'm just opposing.
I have pointed out that editor blog headlines are the place for this and I just had to make a jab at having an public and advertised blog with disabled comments.

Your point would be a valid one hadn't it already been addressed before by OSNews staff. Continually posting it won't change anything. The best thing to do is not click on the link. Simple as that.

AMV's have been doing this kind of thing forever.
Seriously, people have been hacking apart Anime and putting it to music ever since, like, the 90's.
There are some seriously wonderful ones out there, it is just sad that RL has finally caught up with something that Otaku have been doing for the past 2 decades.
