Keep it simple.
You know you need more equipment or a helping hand when the panning shot is just the car driving through the frame.I laugh because I've thought of doing that a few times anyway. haha
Good job though, investing in some tools to keep the camera steady and working out the autofocus will take videos to the next level.
Yeah, I was going to pick up something from Radio Shack and there was a huge empty parking lot. I had nothing else to do, so I figured why not
Just me, the camera, a tripod, and no prior knowledge. A tripod designed for video would help me a ton, as would a lens with an easier to use focus ring. I don't think the 50D has any autofocus features when shooting video because it's not designed to do it.
