December 03rd 2009 / 2009 Civil War / Ducks defeat the Beavers, 37-33
Notes to self:
-
I will never, EVER, use the XHA1 “auto gain” ever ever EVER again.
-
Trust my first instincts for camera and exposure settings.
-
Film more football games… Um, practice makes perfect. (This was my first time filming college football event, and a night one at that!)
-
Bring 6 pin to 4 pin firewire cable.
-
Arrive earlier… Traffic was a bitch.
-
Buy zoom lens. 10 more X would have been nice.
-
Use a video camera that records to memory cards instead of tape.
-
Force myself to use manual focus ALL OF THE TIME (but have my thumb on the “push auto focus” button, just in case.)
-
Figure out a way to get better audio… The AKG Perception 170 would have been nice to have.
-
Bring a Steady Stick. The mono-pod just got in the way.
