Video Hardware/Software Repsonses

1. How was your experience with the Olympus digital camera? How did it compare with other still or video cameras you have previously used? Were you able to successfully implement your Image Capturing Strategies using the features of this camera? In an ideal world, how would your still/video camera of choice function?

The Olympus camera was a good experience for me. Yes it was not the nicest of the digital cameras in the world but for this project that isn’t necessary. The goal was to have a drift strategy, fallow it throw and then make the best of what you had. For my strategy the cameras functions and features were adequate and I didn’t run into any major problems with it. In an ideal world the only thing that I would change is the quality, if the video capturing were better the projects would be cleaner and easier to edit.

2. Discuss your choice of video-editing software and describe your history with this software. If you used this software for the first time, explain why you chose this particular application and how you think it helped you to accomplish your creative goals (or proved detrimental). Will you use this software again for future projects?

As for editing together my clips I choose to use Final Cut Express manly because I already had it and I did not see the need to buy or download any new software. I am fairly new with Final Cut Express but have worked with it and Final Cut Pro in the past, I kept my edits straightforward and simple and just worked on accomplishing my goals through the video clips themselves. I plan to continue to use Final Cut Express and like almost everyone hope to one-day master Final Cut Pro.
