Posted under juggling & technology & video
I love the audio/visual. I’ve owned my DLSR for a couple of years, but I have never owned a camcorder. I was going to wait until there is a Nikon SLR body with proper 1080p video capabilities, but I figured I could get something smaller for now and upgrade later. I ended up choosing the waterproof Sanyo VPC-CA9 720p camcorder. It is not the best quality, but it is not too shabby either. It can go up to 5 feet underwater, so I will not be afraid of getting it wet outside. I have already tested it in my Oktoberfest mug!
While I have done a bunch of sample videos, I finally uploaded something online. It is probably the least suitable video to show off the HD, but that doesn’t matter. It is another video of me juggling my glowballs. Once again, there is nothing impressive in this video, but I had fun doing it. One thing I discovered is that I really enjoy finding the proper audio to go with my video. I’ll probably shoot some more footage in the coming weeks and post something more interesting. Until then, enjoy the short video. Or, if you prefer, watch it in HD.

Very pretty camcorder. But didn’t we already see you juggle those things? It’s clearer now though… must… shoot… juggling… vid.

Yeah, I had done a similar video before, but that was with a web cam. I wanted to see the difference between the two cameras. I wasn’t about to upload the new video, but I found the music went so well with it that I decided to share it.
The camcorder version is a lot smoother, and you can clearly see that the blue and red balls are a lot dimmer than the green. I think one of my lights is no longer in the blue ball, or it might just have been dead. (Each ball has 2 lights inside). Unfortunately, it seems that one of my balls (out of the five) is no longer working, which makes me wonder about their overall durability.
Anyways, I will try to upload more interesting videos soon.
