Tabitha asks: I was curious about how a beginner (such as myself) could add an easter egg to a training DVD I am making for the local fire department. During the video I would like a fire helmet pop up. When they click on the helmet another video begins to play. After that segment is over, the video then jumps back to where it left off before. If they don’t press enter at the time the “egg/helmet” is presented, the video just continues as normal.

William asks: I hear so much about virtual easter eggs in other software programs – is there one in Final Cut Pro?

Oscar asks: Gaffer tape seems to have survived the test of time. It’s the only tool in the video industry that has no need to upgrade. What are some uses for it in today’s workflow and environment? A local production house is about to fold and I can get 300 rolls for free. With DSLRs hitting the market will the tape go away? Can I use it and will others find the demand to buy it at a low cost from me?

Rachel asks: Let’s face it the Kodak Zi8 can shoot just as good as a prosumer Sony camera or even a DSLR in my opinion. The only few areas it can’t compare is when you want to get into depth of field, reducing wind in your audio, recording from a distance automatically or even keeping it steady apart from the electronic image stabilization. Wide angle shots or even close ups are not up to par yet. Can you recommend any tools or adds on to match it up?

Dan asks: I feel screwed after reading your tweet about Cisco stopping production of the Flip camera. I just purchased it based on recommendations and now it goes away? What! I’m returning this thing and purchasing a Zi8. Good thing I have my receipt. Unless you have any other news it’s not going away?
