Video Hardware/Software Response

I really liked using the Olympus camera.  I thought the image quality was really good.  It did everything I wanted it to.  I like the fact that it is simple to use and not a complicated piece of equipment.  Also, I like the fact that it is a simple electronic yet one can still make art with it.  

The Olympus digital camera was definitely easier to use than other digital cameras I have used.  It is very basic.  It does just what you need it to.  Other cameras I have used have been more complicated. 

I was able to successfully implement my capturing strategies of extreme close-ups and blurry images by any means possible.  The images came out even better than I thought they would.  The close-ups look very good and the blurry images are definitely as blurry as I needed them to be.  

In an ideal world, my camera of choice would have really good image resolution.  It would be able to capture things at night.  My camera would also have really good sound quality.  The camera would have editing functions so that one could make an image in sepia tone, for example.  My camera would also be water-proof.  

The editing software which I used for Drift 2 was Final Cut Express.  I have quite a bit of experience with this software.  I know it better than any other editing software.  I did projects on it at my last college.  I am absolutely in love with this software.  I think it's perfect.  It has everything a film artist could want.  Final Cut Express has a timeline and one can make the timeline as small or as big as they want.  It's really precise.  For example, if one wanted to put a certain clip 30 seconds into the movie, they could do that with Final Cut Express.  I will definitely use this software again for future projects.
