Smooth zooming for canon

Because I have a problem with smooth zooming during filming, I wanted to find something that will allow me to smoothly control the ring on the lens. Of course, the best solutions costs a lot of money. Maybe in the future I would buy such a solution. Anyway, I searched further and came across to an Focus Level. It was a cheaper alternative, and at a promotional video on vimeo, it looked quite promising. So I ordered it. I tested it with great expectations. Honestly, I expected a little more. With the tripod is the lever release better. But maybe you just have to get used to it. We shall see.

My YEAR 2012

Clearly, this is my best year.In cycling, filming, and in school.  I have behind me incredible projects that were successful and I was proud of them. I considered why not to do a Review about this year. I wanted this video make popular, so i made my review only from GoPro cameras and send the video to the GoPro web site. I wanted to try if it gonna be a VOD (video of the day). The Canon or Sony footage is not included. I managed to cut this video in one night, after I chose an appropriate song. It was made not on any chronological compilation. Purely random and dynamic cutting topped my most successful project, IKAROS. Among other things, I obviously put there images from Iceland, skating, biking, skiing, time lapse and various other stuff. The only bug I've found throughout was that I have filmed sometimes as 25fps and sometimes as 29.9 fps. I dont really know why this happened :( In the future, I have to be careful because the 25fps video will after rendering to 29.9 fps look badly.
