How to Recognize a Celtic King
I bought a new HDV camera last month and have been spending most of my free time learning how to use it. My big problem, though, is that every few days it seems I discover I need to order an additional piece of equipment, or an adapter, or some new cable if I’m going “to get the most” out of my new picture takin’ machine. It turns out this film-making thing is a lot more expensive than last year’s firearms hobby, but still cheaper than high fashion. Anyway, once our friendly UPS man delivers a new package, I run experiments to make sure I understand how my new stuff works with the camera. But doing science by yourself is hard, so I occasionally must roust Pat to help me. In this Quicktime 7 clip, I was testing the wireless lavalier. I still have much to learn, but I"m happy with the way things are looking and sounding.
