First surprise: after many weeks of getting to be pretty much at ease with my camera I switched it to video mode and felt like I was back in a photographic kindergarten. It wasn't the first time I'd switched the camera to video mode; of course it wasn't - you can't have a button on a camera and NOT try it out pretty early on. The difference this time was that I had someone teaching me how to do it properly, and it did feel like I was learning the camera all over again.
Second surprise: I liked it. Kids in kindergarten play and that was the beauty of this class - I didn't know what I didn't know and simply played and enjoyed the discovery, for the most part at least - the enjoyment increased as the week wore on.
And the frustrations? Well a laptop is not quite the thing for editing video so there was a lot of being patient and learning to go with the flow. Getting hot under the collar wasn't going to make the computer work any faster that's for sure.
Will I play with video again? Yes, for fun mostly. I had a great time playing and discovering this whole new set of toys, and coming to it with no preconceived ideas I had a great time. Here's one of the videos from this week to prove it. Enjoy!
(The video was shot in 1080 HD mode but due to limitations of file uploads here it is a lot smaller)
