My coworker loaned me his HD camera. Holy crap that thing takes nice footage. I'm even more excited to submit my footage to PICA. I did some test shots at lunch one day and edited the footage in iMovie. I exported a lo-res version and a hi-res version; wow, the hi-res one is beautiful. The file is over 5xs larger but the quality is undeniable. With tons of available space on a DVD the hi-res version shouldn't be a problem to preserve the amazing high quality footage. The only downside is that everything records to a SD card (16 GB). That's about 1.5 hrs of the next best video quality/resolution to full HD. Some of my events are 2 hrs long so I'm going to have to scale back the quality because a 32 GB SD card runs between $150 and $300. For a volunteer gig? Fuck that. So I'll have to be be "creative" to offload the SD card to an external hard drive and zero out between shoots. <--- Technical nerd details :)
My first "gig" is Saturday at the Whitsell Auditorium (Portland Art Museum) with Charles Atlas/Merce.
