The DL on filming.

[SPN]

So I have had more than enough people ask me why we don't film anymore, when we are filming next, why arn't we making new videos, yada yada yada. On top of that I have people piching ideas to me left right and center, telling me I should get back to filming, telling me I'm lazy because I don't make any videos anymore... But here is the downlow on why nothing has been done since last year.

I got a new computer that is not compatable with my old camera, the current video quality my Nikon D5000 is shit because I need a better memory stick that supports actual HD video, but last I checked those don't sell for cheap, when I got the camera, they were between $70-$100 for mid-quality.

I will try to go down to Futureshop and find out exactly what kind of stick I can get without blowing too much cash so we can start getting some filming going again.

The two options I have are get a new camera or a new memory stick. I'm going to try for the memory stick as I feel it will have a few less zeros at the end of the price tag.

So whats going on with this?

[SPN]

I've got the new memory stick, I just need to film some test stuff and upload it to youtube to check the quality. It's supposed to be HD but it looks like crap on my WMP.

If it all checks out I'll let everyone know in which case I'll probably write like 5 episode and let you, greg, james, and brent split up the other 5-7 scripts. As for filming. I don't even know if I'll have time next summer because I want to get my TESL. So what will likely happen is I'll write stuff and if I can film, I'll film, if not, i'll let you guys borrow my camera.

As for the editing process... that will likely be 100% you guys, I will have no time what so ever to edit with the new POS windows movie maker.

I'll try get some test videos going soon, I just want to test it with one or two other people.

So I finally took some video with my new memory stick, and I'm going to upload some of them today which will test the visual quality, I still don't have an good audio test yet, but I should be able to whip that up real quick by myself.

So I'll update again once all the videos are up and I see the quality

[SPN]

So based on what I've seen from the video I uploaded my camera won't be good enough to film with.

It claims to take HD video with the HD card I have but every video I take looks like I'm watching it with plastic wrap on my screen.

It is possible I'll have to tinker around with some setting on the camera, but as far as I know right now, I have no film worth camera hence any possible chance of new videos is very low

The video on youtube looks pretty clear, but the size isn't right, which is why I may tinker around with my camera when I find some time.
