The DV guru blog

Recently I came across the DV guru blog, an extraordinarily comprehensive blog about everything to do with digital video production, and therefore an excellent resource for media teachers. The archives are rich with information about all aspects of video production from tips and advice, equipment reviews, news about competitions, pointers to other resources etc.

It even has entries collated under 'beginner', 'intermediate' and 'pro' sections so you can go to the appropriate level of information - and the beginner section has some fantastic links to information for teachers and students.

Some things I learnt from a quick scan of recent posts: YouTube has its own "video toolbox" section with a range of excellent tips for making better videos; there is an excellent short video here about how to shoot better video footage; and there is an excellent resource about editing podcasts.

The downside is that this blog is no longer live (the last post was on January 31, 2007). However, there are enough gems in the vast archives to make it a brilliant resource for some time to come.

We're still alive and kicking, just under a different name! Three of the former writers are over at the camcorderinfo blog. We'll be doing even more cool stuff soon!
