Hi Miro. Thanks for your post. Actually, yes, our plans are to make some documentaries. Just need to get some good mics, a much better tripod, and a wide angle and telephoto lens.

Nice Patrick, now go make some more shorts! :)

What was your settings? Did you get a USA version?

Great shots of the flora and fauna! Were those platies in your pond?

wow I think this HD footage re-defines reality. Thanks for bringing your backyard to us!!

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the feedback.

strancali - Yes, it's the NTSC version and I can't remember the exact settings (took some shots of the moon last night and changed them) but I'm fairly certain it was set to HDV24 and Cine Mode.

Scifish - Platies? So that's what they are. Thanks.

very nice!! what editing software did you use to edit it?

is the size of your video 720p?

hvimeo - Sony Vegas 8. I shot and edited in 1920x1080 but exported it from Vegas as a 720 wmv file.

and did you use macro lens close up? if so, what brand name of lens and model#?

Sorry, can't remember the exact bit rate. But the file size was only 27mb for the 2 minute video.

No macro lens was used. Just placed the HV20 as close to the subject as possible.

i like the ferris bueller song.

Did you use an adapter?
