Default Testing my new Camera

Well, hopefully there will be no more webcam videos. Tell me what you think of this really really bad flourishing video. (View in 720p)

Much, much better than the webcam videos!

However, you need more light. And it seems like there is a window behind you, which may make the video darker too (never film towards the light source).

How long was the camera laying around already? (As on MSN you said you found it laying around.)

Hey man you've certainly got a better viewing experience than before - like Mark said I recommend playing around with light (natural, synthetic), camera angle, background, exposure etc, and you'll be well away. Nice spring!!!

Some really complex flourishes you got going there.... Nah Jokes dude. It was good and I much prefer it to the webcam videos you had.

@Mark I literally... just found it laying around... I asked my parents about it after, and then my dad gave me the charging unit which had the USB cord. My brother is probably taking it to school today since it is the last day, so it might disappear again.

@Tommy Thanks! I'll take your advice, maybe I'll even film elsewhere besides this room. =)

uhm... just asking... what's with the sudden glitches? or is it just me? But the quality is definitely better than before, the way i test my camera is doing a snap change or ego change in front of it, when i watch it again and if i see it like i do with a mirror( or close to that), i know it's a good enough camera.

It is just you. I don't notice any of the glitches.

Nice work there David.. I'm jealous of your spring! That camera looks great.. Lovely picture quality and detail. I would echo what others have said; experiment with the lighting. I too seriously need to work on that as the lighting in my vids is really awful! I'll be changing rooms for my next practice session for sure

This is actually the only room in my house that has a good desk to record. I have another desk, but behind me is the kitchen if I use it. The rest of the rooms have beds and drawers...
