Video Description:
London, June 1, 2007
— At Mansion House, the residence of the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Prem Rawat, on behalf of The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF), made a significant contribution to Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO). VSO is a charitable organisation and benefactor of the 2007 Lord Mayor's appeal. The reception
was attended by Alderman John Stuttard, Lord Mayor of London, and Sheriff Richard Regan. The reception was followed by a gala event called "Giving from the Heart", held at Guildhall. The event, hosted by Sheriff Richard Regan, was attended by a capacity audience of distinguished guests, including a
mbassadors, members of the House of Lords, as well as government, business and civic leaders, and people from London. At the end of the event, Sheriff Regan presented Prem Rawat with a scroll representing best wishes from His Royal Highness Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, and the Right Honourab
le Tony Blair MP, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Sheriff Richard Regan, representing the Lord Mayor, commented that, "In this hall, royalty and state visitors have been entertained for centuries. We have had the presidents of China, Pakistan and India; the kings of Norway and Jordan; Preside
nt Reagan and President Gorbachev. Prem Rawat's profound message of peace among men is based on the issues of peace, of inner peace, contentment and appreciation of the simple things in life." For Mark Goldring, CEO of VSO, "We're delighted that The Prem Rawat Foundation has chosen to support the V
SO. We commit ourselves to using those resources in Mozambique to tackle poverty and disadvantage in the most effective way we can." For N. Brooke, speaking for The Prem Rawat Foundation, "Sometimes the initiatives of the Foundation are related to disaster-relief efforts in partnership with organis
ations such as the UN World Food Programme, the UNDP, Oxfam or the Red Cross. At times, we spearhead our own aid and development initiatives. Our primary focus is on clean drinking water and nourishing food. Our broad goal is to honour the dignity of people in need and to provide basic necessities f
or them so that they can begin to help themselves. Many large humanitarian organisations primarily focus on high-population density areas, which makes very good economic sense. However, people in remote, rural regions are left behind. So TPRF focuses its efforts on people who are overlooked—those
people for whom just a few pence a day can be life changing. Tonight's event, called 'Giving from the Heart', is in honour of all those people who are so kind and so generous to be giving from their hearts to make the world a better place." Introducing Prem Rawat, Simon Keyes, Director of St. Ethel
burga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace, said: "It's a great privilege to be able to applaud the work of this remarkable Foundation. Prem Rawat draws our attention to the universal character of o human thirst for peace. At heart, his message is simple and profound. Real peace, he says, is possib
le. In today's volatile and unstable world, we need to be reminded that creating peace is not only a responsibility that each and every one of us must share as individuals and as citizens; Prem Rawat tells us it is an achievable task." At the closing of the event, Sheriff Richard Regan presented Pr
em Rawat, on behalf of the Lord Mayor, with an illuminated handwritten scroll that read: This document is presented to Prem Rawat by the Sheriff of London, Richard Regan, as a record of Prem Rawat's keynote address at the Giving from the Heart benefit event on behalf of the Lord Mayor's appeal, hel
d at the Great Hall of the Guildhall, in the City of London before 635 distinguished guests on this first day of June 2007; and upon which His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, conveyed his best wishes for the success of this event; and upon which The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, The Rig
ht Honourable Tony Blair MP, imparted his good wishes for an enjoyable and successful event; In commemoration of, and with thanks for the generosity of The Prem Rawat Foundation in support of the Lord Mayor's appeal and Voluntary Service Overseas. Signed, Alderman John Stuttard, the Right Honourable
Lord Mayor of the City of London

Tips to help you create better videos

1. Eye Candy.
Think about some of your favorite videos, ask yourself, what interesting shots and b-roll need to be captured to make your video entertaining to watch.

2. Good Lighting.
The main difference between amateur and professional videos is the quality of the lighting. Poor lighting creates graininess and poor quality videos too. (*Hint* In most studios, the lights and the cameras can be adjusted up and down to get the correct amount of light.) For your home studio make use of fluorescent light bulbs. These bulbs produce a nice soft light with no harsh shadows. You can buy fluorescent light kits or you can save a lot of money and make your own fluorescent light box. It is best to use a three point lighting system which is fairly standard in most studios.

3. Tripod.
Use a tripod for shake free shooting. Tripods come in all sizes and quality. Most camcorders used today are only small and weigh very little so there is no need to buy a tripod to suit a heavy professional video camera.

4. Microphone.
The built in microphone on your camcorder is not the best to use if you can avoid it. Buy a directional one that can be mounted on top of your camcorder. Otherwise mount the microphone on a boom or support just out of view of the camcorder but close to the subject. Another option is to use a microphone that clips onto your lapel and as used by newsreaders on television. These are very effective and can be purchased for less than $50. No need to buy a wireless unit, but you need enough cable to run from the camcorder remote microphone, up the inside of your shirt and to your lapel. Bear in mind that you will normally be seated within six feet of the camcorder so the microphone should have plenty of cable.

5. Avoid Zooming and Panning.
Avoid zooming in and out and panning from side to side as much as possible. It is recommended that you set the zoom prior to recording.

6. Pre-Roll and Post-Roll.
Allow a few extra seconds after starting and before stopping the camcorder and the actual start and finish of the action you want to record. This allows for better editing once the shooting is over. Not allowing for the pre-roll and post-roll can make editing difficult. If you are filming yourself then start the camcorder recording with the remote control, wait six seconds before you start talking and at the end let the camcorder run an extra six seconds before stopping. This will give you plenty of time when editing.

7. Remember It is A Small Screen.
When shooting videos to add to your web site, normally the player will be 320 x 240 so avoid wide scenes, keep it close to see the detail. If you are filming yourself talking, you should be within six feet of the camera and preferably from the waist up. Keep the content simple and uncomplicated, do not have much happening in the video and keep it quiet-on-the-set.

8. Think Like a Photographer.
When shooting a video, do it like a photographer taking individual shots. Plan your video shoot, record for a short while from one position then stop recording, reposition the camera or yourself then shoot again. This will reduce excessive camera movement in your video. Using these tips will ensure that you can shoot and produce quality website videos of a better quality than most people. Remember, practice makes perfect and soon you will be getting great results on the first take.

9. Look at the Details.
Sometimes, you are so focused on your subject that you do not notice the surrounding elements of the scene. Only later, when you are reviewing the footage do you notice an unsightly trash can in the background or a tree sticking out of your subjects head. I like to scan the video screen carefully before shooting to make sure there is nothing in the shot that I may have overlooked. You may be surprised what you find!

Use our search feature, at the top of the page, to find videos about your favorite topics. There are tons of videos, for example, type in "Bikini contest", "Body building", "Guitar lesson", or "How to (anything)". Search for "Commercial", you will see cool ads and funny commercials. Notice the video techniques used to capture each video, you may very well find many helpful tips and tricks to use as well as many techniques to avoid when making your own videos... have fun.
