Camera induction, sort of 5/10/11

Yesterday we were inducted on to a massive camera called 'sony ex1'. This is the first video camera I have ever been properly shown and it was really good. It's massive and looks like it is mainly used for big productions like film or documentaries but can still be nice to use for smaller projects.

We were told a lot of technical things about what format it films in and what's best to film in regarding resolution and frame rate. It was all pretty dry stuff, but i did actually learn quite a bit, and made me warm up to the idea of using a camera.

At first, i was unsure whether the induction really helped with comm tech, (it definitely has helped a lot with my video elective as i now know how to approach the camera, or at least it's settings) but once filming a little, i do think i could bring it into comm tech.

I spent the afternoon filming hands. I did this as i wanted to then take the footage into after effects and add animation to the filming. A little like this...

I like the idea of bringing in simple animation, even if it is in small lines and shapes. It seems something i'd be capable of and actually enjoy the idea of doing this. I think it is something i've always wanted to try.
