My work is drying up & I need new idea's. What do you guys do? I am still doing my racing but its getting slim. I need to find other options for my video. Its either that or go to Walmart as a greeter and that's not my idea of fun. My truck is diesel and the fuel is eating me up. I have been paying over $4 a gallon for some time now. Anyone care to share what they do in hopes of some idea's I might try. Thanks in advance.. Bob...

I have seen emails about shooting videos of homes for the national real estate market. Companies move people, still, and this gives a family a preview of what to expect in a home in a city they're being moved to.
Into Combat Videography? Try weddings!

It's where you go up against an anti-video photographer at a wedding. :D

From the war stories I've heard, combat videography (or photography) is where you have to battle nearly everything and everyone else there to get your job done.

A quality tripod or monopod can work as effectively as a baseball bat although I prefer a well timed high powered flood light can do wonders.

Yeah, but they'll see that coming.

A monopod held by a videog however is essentially invisible. ;)
