[...] This was interesting for a few reasons. One of them was that as I was heading back home from Art Bar a few nights ago, after one train completely ditched us at the platform and never stopped… I was in the middle of a subway car that had some overly-drunk guy on one end of it with a couple of guys and a girl with him, trying to keep him quiet and get him to sit down, and a couple of women sitting together at the other end of the car. This guy kept yelling drunk stuff at them, and he was really pretty belligerent. The women acted like they couldn’t hear him. As they were getting off the train, he screams at them “GOOD NIGHT, LADIES!!!” as if he had just been kicking it with them, hahahaha Obviously, I had my camera on me, but it TOTALLY didn’t occur to me to tape him running his mouth, because A) I didn’t give a damn, and B) I didn’t find it interesting and couldn’t figure out who MIGHT think it was interesting. Now I know… hahahaha [...]
hey bill, i liked that swirling martini effect on the menu browsing.
one trick we’ve learned with the (condenser??) mic on the camera outdoors: wrap a large (cheap) clown nose foam over it with a rubber band, and it really helps to cut down on the durn wind noise. I don’t really know anyone who likes that wind nose so maybe one day soon some camera designer will add a wind noise cancelling switch on these video cams.
