Hello, I'm an HV20 owner...

[Kirk Gillock]

Just wanted to introduce myself to the HV20 owners group.

My name's PK and I just became the proud parent of an HV20. It was donated to my charity organization, Isara (http://www.isara.org), by Barry Green (yes, THE Barry Green) so that we could better document our projects and to start teaching video-making to students in rural areas.

Today there was a Chinese festival on the street in front of our Learning Center so it was a perfect time to test the HV20. Here are just a few pics. (Still learning how to best capture the footage to my laptop.)

And some more...

Looking forward to getting to know you all better and also sharing stuff created with the HV20.

EDIT: Just put together a quick nature video using the HV20. Not much, just random shots from around the house set to music. But WOW does this little camera capture a beautiful image.

Talk about disappointed... I thought this was going to be like the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials.

[Kirk Gillock]

Funny you mention that. One of the first things we'll be shooting on the new camera is a parody of those commercials.

If we can find a white background big enough.

I wrote one of those too. If I get my camera back in working order, I might just have to shoot it.

Easily enough done.

Use white Styrofoam and light it fairly brightly but softly.

Check out "Mr. Deity".

That was their technique and it is quite nice!

Just completed a quick nature video using random footage shot around the house. Just for fun and practice (shooting, capturing and editing).

Take a look at the image quality. The HV20 is amazing!

PK, cool footage. I like the macro stuff, especially the fly. Watch your exposure though, are you using the zebras?

[disjecta]

Nice footage PK, makes me want to shoot nature videos....oh wait...

Seriously though, I liked it and it's nice to see you 'round these parts. It's been a while since I've been in touch.
