Tools
of DV
Seeing
as how I haven't made any real money out of this yet (Bye Bye, Brunei
has been largely a friends product) the tools are pretty basic. My
trusty Sony DCR-PC3E with it's 2x 60 minute InfoLithium batteries
(30min if you use the LCD display) does the recording, and ULead's
great DV Studio Basic does the  editing
on my laptop with the Firewire PC Card.
Not a bad cam at all. The quality is fantastic and it's got more gizmo's
and gadgets that I'll probably use.
The coolest feature is the night vision mode with an infrared light.
The worst feature is the omni-directional microphone which pics up
everything except someon talking right infront of the camera. Well,
not really, but it seems that way.
Ulead, who always seem to do great products and then distributes them
in Basic or LE, has outdone themselves with this software. Just what
a low budget amateur like me needs. Anyway, transitions, sounds and
the like are extremely easy to do. Only pity is that in this version
you have only one video track to work with, which is only annoying
when you'd like to do overlayes. It still does great video though.

Coming Soon:
Well, all the other plans I have been scheme
and caniving to do, have gone to pot, due to various reasons good
and not so good. The next up-and-coming project is extremely exciting
though, but I can't say anything as it's top secret and if I tell
you, I'll have to kill your computer.
It's going to be an advert and its for a project we're working on
at school... there, I've probably said to much already. However,
keep your eyes on these pages. I'm hoping to inclue the advert as
streaming media.
