Looking into video cameras. Leaning toward Canon HG10 which is an HD camcorder with a hard drive or, much cheaper, the Panasonic SDR-200 which is much more affordable and is SD format and mini-DV based model. Any suggestions? Advice is very welcome. Smiles, MJ

Senior auditor begins quest to learn video/movie making!
Took a few minutes to remember my google password, but I am good to go now. Hello, ART 311 folks at Visual Studies Worksop, I have watched 4 movies in the past week 1. The Bourne Ultimatum (one long action sequence with clever stunts and devilish tricks, minimal romance, questions of loyalty and morality) 2. Sweeney Todd (beautiful, somber, other worldly color pallet; strange tale of revenge and mistaken identity; hard to hear some of dialogue and words in songs; young boy had best voice; amazing how ugly they were able to make two beautiful lead actors) 3. Charlie Wilson's War (big Hollywood production, top flight stars, told true story well, good story arc, Philip Seymour Hoffman outstanding as maverick FBI man, liked ending where after spending a billion dollars on a war the US government was unwilling to spend $1 million dollars for education in Afganistan, lessons to be learned and practiced today?) 4. Ten Questions for the Dalai Lama (seen in class, best thing were the wonderful faces and the amazing resiliency of people, could have been better edited to focus on primary story of the Tibetan people, needs to be shorter, documentary maker needs to more clearly identify himself throughout the film, not just doing walk-ons in the middle; inspiring story, if, rather hopeless).
