My New Toy

I’ve been wanting a video camera for a while now, at least a couple of years. So as my trip got closer, I broke down and finally bought a nice Sony. I went with a beefed up hard drive, because I was afraid I might run out of memory on the trip. So… I did end up spending more than I planned.

I do like my camera quite a bit. I also bought some video editing software at the same time. I took my little buddy to the fire house the day I bought the camera and I had a movie ready to go by within 20 hours. I stayed up a little late editing the footage, but I’m overly proud of my work. I must have watched the movie 10 times now and I think I’m finally done tweaking the movie. I need to try to get it burned onto a DVD.

So, hopefully I’ll be able to put together a nice movie from the footage I shoot over in Europe. It may take some time to get that edited when I get back. But I’m really liking my new toy, so I’ll be a busy guy putting my movie together when I get back.
