I've been in the process of looking into doing webcam shows for the last few weeks. And I have a lot of questions about the equipment needed.
At first I thought I could use my mac, but now that I've signed up with an agency I realize they only provide software for Windows. Now I have to go out and buy a PC to use--right?
The second thing is the camera--I have no idea what kind to get! I've bought 2 different USB webcams, and now the literature I've gotten from the agency recommends using a miniDV camcorder with firewire. I'm going to be returning the second Webcam tomorrow, and looking for a firewire camcorder.
What type of camera do most performers use? Obviously I want something that will do a better than average job, as everything from the agency says that your video quality is the number one reason why people continue to buy private time with you or not. Cost is also an issue, I'm not sure if I'm going to really like doing webcam, and I don't want to invest a whole lot of money only to find out I don't like it.
Any help or specific models/brands will help me out a ton!
