    At this point, it appears that one of my group cameras for the RPG groups has failed, which is forcing a restructuring of my filming process. The camera is a Sony Vixia HF R800, which has served me well for the past 7 or so years, but right before game time I discovered that the…

    Part of my efforts to record and broadcast our gaming has been hampered by challenges around the specific cameras I have to use. Basically, although every camera has a configured framerate, each particular model is slightly different. For short lengths, the difference between 29.97 fps and 30.02 fps is not a big deal. But over…

    Football season is upon us, and that means my younger son is hard at practice with training for his now 5th grade team.  One of the volunteer duties of the parents is that one person is asked/volunteers to film all of the games, for review by the coaches and players.  Not too hard, but something…

    Are you mesmerized by an active 3D printer like I am?  Can you stare for hours watching the robotic arm move back and forth as it slowly builds a model millimeter by millimeter?  If so, then I have a fun little new option with my printer – a live feed that runs pretty much all…

    So, I was finally able to get some time, and as planned, worked with the wife’s DSLR camera, in an attempt to improve the video quality of the various projects.  Dedicated power cord so that the battery doesn’t die – check.  Large enough memory card to hold many hours of video – check.  H1 Zoom…

    As part of my ongoing efforts with videos, I recorded my recent wood working project to craft an art pencil box for the wife.  Following the project, I had several hours of footage, which I finally managed to start to tackle last night.  Audio is non-existent – the video camera mic is terrible, and I…

    In my continuing effort to produce better quality in my videos, I have focused previously on the audio, and very successfully (from my perspective) resolved much of the concerns with an upgrade to a dedicated audio recorder (the Zoom H1 audio recorder to be exact).  This device works very well, has a strong pickup, and…

    Since I have been attempting to film various activities over the last few weeks, I have started to notice that the interest level and opportunities for filming are actually becoming more common.  It is almost as if having used the process, I am more in tune with it, and are seeing more options.  But more…
