Week 1

First week was basically a "refresher" for me on Video Production theories. But comparing to my previous video lesson, this is somewhat different. Or maybe just different style. Anyhow, i need to get the theory stick into my head, which i am weak in (What can i say, I'm more of a practical guy).

First impression of the camera: Frighteningly LIGHT! Light as a feather. Yes, this is good news for those who are not into "heavyweights champion", but for an avid videographer, this is absolutely weird. Nevertheless, let's try to put the camera to it's fullest function and capability and i'm confident that this consumer camcorder can do wonder as well. 

Remember, it's not about how great your camera is, it's the storyline and final product that is more important, i think.

You are so right... I have never used a lighter camera... and I sort of trust the new cameras. Sort of. I trust that you will have to move toward a new 'production' ideal... one that is focused on storytelling. This is not only practical!
