I haven't really delved into much video yet, but my little Creative Vado video camera arrived yesterday from eBay, so I gave it a little spin on the drive home...

...then I decided to see if I could tape a song all in one go using two stationary cameras and two mics. I had 30 minutes to do it, because I wanted to watch 127 Hours with my wife before she nodded off. (Phenomenal movie, by the way!) So I picked a song I wrote long ago called "1969" and let the chips fall where they may. After the movie I mixed the two audio tracks in Cubase, then fumbled about all night trying to make a half-assed video with a program I don't really understand yet.

It's got ridiculous lighting and ever-worsening sync problems, but it's a start...and it gives me hope for the future, because this opens up a whole new avenue of expression. I stayed up till 3:30 messing about, but I probably won't fix much...better to move on and improve. Anyway, here's the vid:
