Trona, CA footage

Took some shots of the town to put as a section in the missions video. Here are some of the clips, edited together quickly just for fun:

Here I am over the weekend on a missions video shoot right next to Death Valley. Missionary Mike Campbell is getting ready to head out on deputation in order to raise support to get to the field of Rwanda.

It was a great weekend trip and we got some good footage to incorporate in to the video. I will post the presentation as well as a link to his website when complete.

Panasonic Lumix Gh1

You may not think much of it from the outward appearance, but the Panasonic Lumix GH1 is a very powerful visual tool. It is a multi-talented digital camera - taking pictures at 12 megapixels, as well as video at full resolution HD (1920x1080p).

The video functionality is of course what caught my attention when I first heard about this camera a few months ago. It records at 24p in 1080 mode - giving you a very film-like look. In the 720p mode it records 60p, that when converted, gives you a true 40% slow motion.

UPS just delivered mine yesterday afternoon and so naturally I was up for the better part of the night figuring out the workflow. Here are just a couple shots to give you a glimpse of the camera's quality:
