Definitely your tention tool that's binding on the sleeve.

In other news, don't use a background so far away. The focal length of the camera will always auto-focus to the distant background, causing fuzzy videos. Use a backdrop, or sit behind the lock you're working on, like awol.

Thanks GutterClown, I needed some advice, I have never done this before, I can see what your saying, if I pick in front of a solid background that is closer to me, the picture won't be as distorted. I am not happy either about the video quality, but I didn't know any better! Thank you for the input.

Thank you very much, I have recieved a few pointers and I hope to make another video soon, I don't have any real exciting locks, but I may feature an american padlock for video #2.

Get yourself a mini-tripod and an Ottlite. The ability to get up close to the keyway - from in front of you - and good lighting make a big difference in the quality of your video, trust me.

Also, Windows Movie Maker is not a bad basic program - you can do quite a lot with it. I use Roxio editing program - but if I'm in a hurry, Movie Maker is more intuitive.

Well, here is my second video, still working on getting a good picture, etc, etc, I don't have a key for this cylinder thats in this padlock, I got really lucky and picked it real fast. For my next video I will pick a chateau disk lock, I have keys for this one!! And it will take me longer!

Nice job, Kid - your video skills are better this time around. How about a soundtrack?

[the lockpickkid]

Okay, next video will have music, something country ok!! it should be good. None of that rock shit!!

Awol wanted to see the bitting order so I took that core apart, I tried to take a picture with my digital camera, but I couldn't get it to pick up the detail of the pins, so with my camera phone I will see if this will work!
They are still hard to see, all serrated drivers but the 4th is a serrated spool, the key pins are serrated except for #1 and #3. I have got to fugure that digital camera out!

Okay, next video will have music, something country ok!! it should be good. None of that rock Sh!t!!

"Jack Daniels If You Please" by DAC or "Thinking Problem" by David Ball - none of that fancy schmancy yuppie drugstore cowboy stuff. Oh and Jones - you never go wrong w/ Jones.

I was in the process of remaking the video of me picking the chateau diskuss lock, that I could never get to load, then I break a homemade pick off in it, and totally ruin the whole damn thing! I made a neat little hook pick from a broken HPC then I end up breaking it again this time ruining a good lock!
