UPDATES & ANNOUNCEMENTS:
last update: 04th Jan 2009
_________________________________
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!
We would like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2009. We are both still heavily engaged in joint business activities, and time for CB’s is still very limited. However we are still here! and still hope to put in the occasional appearance during 2009!
LIVE SHOWS ON HOLD FOR A WHILE
Both Kev and I are currently engaged in a major business venture, and are currently low on spare time. As a result, we have decided to stop doing the live shows for now. Re-runs are still available for viewing from our Stickam home page.
BANDIT LOOT SECTION - REMOVED! - 01 Dec ‘08
We have decided to remove the bandit loot features from this website. We still have a bandit loot feature on a seperate website (cbdeals.co.uk) that is maintained by Kev. The Bandit loot menu link now points to the seperate website.
FREE ANIMATIONS AND
COUNTDOWNS SITE ADDED - 14th Nov ‘08
Today i added a new link to a fantastic site offering free background animations and countdown animations as well as other great filmmaking resources (movietools.info)
NEW GOING LIVE ANNOUNCEMENTS - 25 Oct ‘08
After several complaints that several people were not receiving “going live” notifications, we are changing our notification format slightly. We will now upload a new video to YouTube on the morning that we intend to host a live show - to give a 1/2 day notice, and will upload another “going live” video 10 minutes before we actually go on the air.
Please ensure your YouTube e-mail settings are set so that you can receive these announcements - thanks.
NEW RESOURCES ADDED 4th sept 2008
New - Motion Picture age-rating cards added. available for download in US or UK sets in both widescreen, 4:3, and High Def aspect ratio’s.
Letterbox matte mast (.psd photoshop format) added - this letterbox mask will enable you to give your videos a cinematic feel by cropping an extreme widescreen letterbox over your footage.
all new resources are available for download on the filmmaking resources page
DISASTER REGARDING PREVIOUS WEBSITE UPDATES! Sept 1st
Rick was greeted by the blue screen of death after switching on his PC last Sunday!
The PC had died, but fortunately everything was backed up, so we didn’t loose too much. However, we did loose all the last updates of the website! So we have had to revert back to this slightly older version!
The last update was mainly cosmetic changes, so it’s not too bad. We hope to re-introduce the same changes over the comming weeks.
NEW UPDATES:
28th Aug
Added several new links to the resources page after suggestions from people at the previous live chat.
SHARING VIDEOS
Please note that due to being inundated with shared videos, we have had to disable the YouTube video-sharing notifications that we receive. If you genuinely need/want us to watch a particular video, you will need to send it (or a link) as a personal message on YouTube.
Forum removed
We decided to do-away with the forum as it was a bit of a waste of time. Please use the contact page if you have a question.
Counter updates
You may have noticed the page counters have been reset. we have updated them to count only unique viditors (not every page visit - as they were originally set up)
Filmmaking resources page updated
There are a whole bunch of EXCELLENT filmmaking resources, tutorials and freebies listed on the “filmmaking resources page” including a link to a database where you can download entire movies of old public domain footage.
Click the video below to see a recording of our previous show
The Camcorder Bandits are two ordinary UK guys dedicated to helping other ordinary people make films and videos, and to get the best out of their camcorders or other filming devices.
The Camcorder Bandits are all about filmmaking on a zero or shoestring budget, and this website is a valuable and useful resource, providing information, and practical stuff that people will find useful and relevant to their video making projects.
Much of the content will be determined by feedback from the live broadcasts, so if there is something you want to find out about, or have a need for, drop us a line, and hopefully we can provide answers.
