As a personal challenge this year, I've tasked myself to learn a bit more about Film making. Both my cameras (Canon 5DII and Fujifilm XE-1) boast Full-HD video capability, and the quality of video - particularly from the 5D, is really very high. I'm a total amateur, but, with a good teacher (the internet) I hope to be able to cobble together decently shot short family films.

Where to start? Well, I'm googling various videography sites. Like anything there are guides galore. I'll probably post some of the better ones as I find them. I'm currently recording footage for my first project. We are potty training my daughter over the Easter break, so - as I've nothing better to be doing - I've been filming some of the progress on the XE-1. Don't worry - its not some kind of Poo Apocalypse. Successful potty trips out weigh little accidents - at least to date. I'm editing in iMovie '09 which is probably about my level at the moment, but may trade up if I get the bug.
