The video camera is the most misused piece of technology ever used by the public. This is how it works; people buy a camera, they start recording things, often hours of footage. They then either never watch it, watch some of it once or make everyone watch the entire thing. What people don’t know is that they’re watching “raw footage”. 99% of this never gets edited down into a finished product.
We now have SD card based cameras which makes getting the raw footage to your computer insanely easy. Then you have editing software like Sony Vegas for $89 which is insanely easy to use. The mystery is gone, it’s now easy to make a properly edited-down video instead of shuttling through footage.
The video below is what happens when someone talented takes some good stock footage of kids being kids which can, sometimes only be cute for the parents, and make it into “media”. I love this clip and she will too, even later in life. Dare I say it’s cute.
