On the Video Hardware and Software.

I did not have any problems with the digital camera. The only criticism I have is that the video quality was not great, but given the nature of these drifts, that was expected. The camera was easy to use, and it was certainly small enough. I have used a Sony digital video camera in the past, and normally I would prefer using that. For this project, however, I liked using a smaller, less conspicuous camera. In an ideal world, the digital camera would not require the use of any batteries.

To edit my video content, I used two programs: Quicktime Pro and Magix Movie Edit Pro 10. I used Quicktime to edit most of my rough cuts because I wanted to use a new program, and also because I didn't want to incorporate any fancy editing. For the final cut, however, I wanted to be able to edit with dissolves and incorporate sound more easily. So I used a program that I was already familiar with. I still wanted the video to feel natural, so I shyed away from all the available crazy effects. I will definitely continue to use MME Pro 10 in the future.
