Old Family Video
,
I did this video in 2001 using a still-in-development version of VideoWave. It automatically sensed the timing of the music and selected clips to play in time with it. Notice how it changes as the music gets faster and slower.
Oh, and that was the year we had a ladybug infestation, thus the film of ladybugs..
These days I shoot straight to digital media in semi-HD (1280x720p). I shoot 3GB on an outing day typically, and there’s no editing at all that needs to be done. I just usually copy the files to DVD-R for backup and to a 250GB outboard drive for long-term, easy-access storage. I’ve got 100GB of videos on there.
Alas, the CCD on my Canon TX-1 has a lot of blooming (in the sunshine), so high-quality work will still need to be done with bulkier equipment, but I haven’t done any since I got the TX-1, because it’s so damned convenient.
