Call Me Scorsese...

So HS recently made a very nice acquisition that will surely take us to the next level of shred blogging... A sweet ass Sony HD, hard drive camcorder. Well actually Brian officially made the purchase but since he's a good will ambassador to the site, it's kind of like a he owns it, I own it type of situation.

Let's let the Transitive Property of Equality explain this a little better: if a = b and b = c, then a = c. We'll go ahead and substitute a "z" for the "a" so it makes better sense: If z = b, and b = c, then z = c. As in, if Zac knows Brian, and Brian owns the new HD Camera, then Zac owns the new HD Camera. So there ya go, proven. You can't argue with the equation...

I went and picked up the camera from Brian the other day so I could start filming shit and learning all the in and outs so when the snow season rolls around we'll be ready to get some nice footy. I took it out to Edora for the first time the other day to mess around with and get some shots to edit. The camera is dope, it's super clear and the HD really makes a difference. It came with a wide angle lens but it's not quite fishy enough for my liking so we're going to get a little wider one. It has a hard drive and that is so money. When I plugged it into imovie all the clips just automatically imported. You don't have to rewind and fast forward to get to the clip you want like you would with a DV camera. So good job Brian... Finally a decent contribution to the site. HA!

Here's the video I made of the Edora camera test session. Just a quick edit with some of the park regulars pushing around, no big deal. I wasn't trying to get any groundbreaking shots and I left my dolly at home so this isn't anything spectacular. I plan on making a lot more of these so they'll get better in due time. Dig it.

And the Oscar goes to......
