A Panasonic HDC MD-H1 Camcorder has recently come my way connected with a
job I'm involved with. It'll soon be gone again, but as always, whenever a new
camera falls into my hands I make sure I get a Test Film shot with it before it
goes.
It's by no means what I would call a pro camera, much like the Sony MC2000
it feels like a high end handycam nestled in an oversized body. But that's not
such a bad thing when you consider there is a market for such cameras, video
enthusiasts that either don't have the budget or the need for a pro camera will
be pleased by the convenience and 'bulk' of this Panasonic.
I spent a couple of hours round my local area with the camera and have
created this short feature of the footage I took.
Just completed my second lens ever on Squidoo, not quite as personal as my first this one leans more to a review and consumer advice. But as the little pop up box said as I hit the publish button, at least my first lens won't be lonely anymore!
Recently I've been pottering around a bit, both in reality and in the land
of the internet. I've found myself wrapped in the early stages of an addiction,
an addiction to the wonderful site of Squidoo. If you don't know what it is
then I highly recommend checking it out, it's sort of blogging with a twist.
On this note I'd be very appreciative if you'd take a look at my first page
or 'lens' as it's known, that I made the other day. It's a short insight into
the workings and importance of my old 8mm Cine Camera from 1958!
So a little bit about me and this blog. I like my cameras,
my hobbies, studies and work largely revolve around them and I'm usually
finding things to keep me busy. This blog will mainly be logging and sharing
the things I make, hence the name, but don't worry there'll be other bits and
pieces I promise. I'm thinking of this blog as a sort of reception area for my
online content, you know with some nice creamy sofas and perhaps a potted
plant, an area that takes all the loose ends and organises them into some sort
of order for your perusal.
Well why not start off with one of my biggest and most
exciting ventures of late. Wedding Videography! Yes since the start of 2012 I
have flown the nest of Assistant Videography and begun to shoot weddings
independently. Slightly terrifying at first I thought, but now the first three
are complete I must say my confidence has rooted a little deeper.
Most recently on the 24th of May I attended Leez Priory in
Chelmsford, for the wedding of Holly & Stewart. It was a beautiful day and
the sun was certainly out in force. The day very smoothly and I couldn't have
for a nicer crowd to work with. The following video is the montage feature
created from the complete wedding film.

Well hey! Just dipping my toes and testing this whole blogging scene out at the moment. Since leaving my second year of uni for the summer, I've found myself with quite a bit of free time, so much free time that my casual pondering type thoughts and ideas have had a chance to settle after the flurry of busy-ness that engulfed the snow globe metaphore of my brain. Therefore I have decided to start writting a bit of online content, I hope you don't mind.
Right well I guess I'll click publish and see what happens!
