Drift 2 Video hardware/Software Response

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?

My experience with the Olympus camera was pretty regular, the quality of the pictures were pretty good. The one thing I didn't like was the fact that I couldn't zoom in while recording unless I had already zoomed in when taking a picture. I have a Kodak camera and the Olympus camera has more of a finer focus when taking portraits but I like my camera better because it's easier to delete footage and add effects while shooting.One of my strategies was imitating bouncing and this camera was pretty steady the picture wasn't perfect but at the same time it wasn't completely blurry while I was making the camera "bounce". My ideal cam would be the new touch screen cam that recently came out. I like that camera because I like things with touch screen and I also like all the special effects and extra things it features.

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?

I used windows movie maker for my first two silent clips and Quick Time for my other clips. I used windows at first because it was the only software available to me at the time and I used Quick Time because it was recommended and it seemed like it would be better for me to use because I really didn't know what else to use. This was my first time using Quick Time and I liked it allot but I just wish I would've been able to see all of my frames instead of constantly exporting constantly. It would've been easier for me to edit my clip if there was a sort of framing track or something like that. The effects and filters impressed me and I really had fun using them for this project, I will probably use Quick Time again but only for smaller projects because I really did have a problem with the exporting.
