1935 Auburn Duesenberg Speedster review and interview with Al Rogers of Stahl's Motors and Music Experience. Okay so Stahl's is a local museum that sponsored some of the 2025 Woodward Dream Cruise. My friend Steve Pasteiner owns a hobby shop on Woodward Ave. So, naturally I migrated there. And he has a free hot dog stand. Whilst admiring all the cool cars and eating hot dogs in Pasteiner's parking lot, I bumped into the Stahl's museum curator who was showing the car. He agreed to let me record his schpiel. Here it is...

Website tips for this video are:

Impromptu interviews are fraught with errors. You never know what the interviewee is going to do. You are forced to use available lighting and the sound quality is subject to the environment. What to do? Shoot lots of b-roll footage. Or, plan follow up shoots.

Since this was an "off the cuff" and unpaid production, I shot lots of b-roll and did not plan a follow up shoot.

First thing Al (interviewee) did after I gave him the "go" signal was to step forward which ruined my carefully framed shot. I did not stop him or start over because I knew I could cover it with b-roll.

Voice isolation. One thing you don't hear much of are all the cars in the background revving their engines. That is because of DaVinci Resolve's "Voice isolation" option. I put a little iso on the audio tracks but not much. I actually like all the background noise.

Changing lighting conditions. It was a partly cloudy day with lighting conditions changing by the second. Solution is manual exposure settings. As opposed to auto-exposure. I knew a cloud passing by or a chrome reflection would drastically alter exposure if set to auto.

Overall preperation. For this day I used my go pack or small camera bag. I knew I would be doing only hand held slice of life type shooting and was not expecting to do an interview. So, I did not include any microphones other than what is on the camera. I figured I would be fine with only the camera microphones. However after this I plan to include my wireless lapel mics. from now on.

Building a Reedjet pressure test is a short video I made that was originally intended to be a how-to tutorial. But along the way I went into time lapse mode hoping to make the video shorter. In the end I sped it up even faster to make it a very short piece indeed. Here it is...

Building A Reedjet Pressure Test

3 Tips for Crafting a Time-Lapse Video Tutorial:

1. Lock in Consistent Camera Settings. Switch to full manual mode. Set your exposure, focus, and white balance manually (no auto-) to prevent flicker and keep every frame uniform. This will even out lighting inconsistentsies.

   Wish I had done that in this video as the flicker level is very high. However, I had a controlled lighting set and was (over) confident exposure changes woulldn't be a problem. At normal speed the flicker is insignificant. At a higher playback speed flicker is more noticable.

2. Stabilize Your Setup and Pick a Dynamic Subject Mount your camera on a sturdy tripod to eliminate shake. Choose a scene with gradual, noticeable motion like moving clouds, bustling traffic, or plants growing to showcase the time-lapse effect clearly.

   Even though I locked down the camera I still got framing issues jumping from scene to scene. To smooth out those jump cuts I used a 4 frame dissolve at the transition, along with some post-production zooming to match sizes of the objects in frame.

3. Layer Clear Narration and On-Screen Guidance. Write a concise script that walks viewers through gear setup, exposure choices, and interval planning. Record a voice-over and sync it with on-screen text or graphics above your sped-up clips so learners can follow each step in real time.

   And that is a lot of work in post production. Alternatively, you can narrate along with the playback and record as you go. In DaVinci Resolve and Camtasia there exists the option to record a voice over while playing the video. With this technique you can accomplish all those tips listed above at the same time.

Video Builder AI Spokesperson App

Website tips for this post are:

Video Builder is the first AI powered app I ever got. But, It is no longer available, and has been replaced with much more powerfull apps like AI Video Builder, HumanPal, Video Express and Talking Photos. These new apps are far more advanced. So much so that only legacy subscribers can still access the Video Builder app.

I was going to say how cool this app is. and where you can get it. But now you can't. VB is the only app I know of that has a talking Santa. I can still create animations with it but am no longer promoting it. But if you need a video created in that platform I'm your man. Contact me at...
