Videoing and photographing welding...

admin

So I've taken on the job of documenting the build procedures for a company's welded products....  Now I've never photographed or done video of someone actually welding....but that's what these folks would like done.  They want to build up a procedures manual and use the video to put together a continous loop dvd for trade shows. I can handle the "computer" part, i.e. editing, graphics, developing the dvd, etc.Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom to impart on this subject??  Any suggestions as to where to start my research on how to accomplish the requested tasks??Any help or insight would be most appreciated.Don
Reply:you can use any video camera or digital camera without hurting your eyes if you look thru the L.C.D. monitor on the camera...look thru the pics forum and you'll see some good shots of welding in progress...i do it all the time with the help of a friend.....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
Reply:ANy chance of hurting the camera?  I would think the CCD's would be sensitive. THey say not to point at "direct" sunlight...
