fun stuff for cameras...

so yeah... i am pretty much set on getting the sony nex-vg10... as such, i am looking into different attachments that would help with filming...

first thing on the plan is the skycrane... not the helicopter, but a awesome camera accessory... this is perhaps the key to doing professional video... great angles, movement, everything... link here: http://www.skycrane.com

second? i am looking at screens for that boom... this means the camera can be 20 feet from me, and i can control it perfectly, monitoring the sound and video portions of it...

speaking of sound, that leads me to my third item... bose headphones... in about a year, you'll prolly see me with headphones around my neck... not cause i'm listening to music, but for when i'm filming, i can monitor the sound...

fourth improvement will most likely be the videomic. most built-in mics on camcorders are omni-directional. this means they draw sound from everywhere around them... this one is a shotgun mic, which is directional. it means it only draws sound from in front of it, and not behind or to the sides of it. link here: http://www.rodemic.com/microphone.php?product=VideoMic

lastly will probably be one of those nice adidas bags to carry all of this junk around... well, probably two bags... that will bring me to a grand total, (if i make the skycrane myself) probably around $2800.... whew... now i'm exhausted just looking at that number...... :P
