Video Hardware/Software Response

1. How was your experience with the Olympus digital camera?
My experience with the camera went very smoothly. I never had any difficulties operating the camera and it did not prevent me from completing this project in any way.

How did it compare with other still or video cameras you have previously used?
In terms of capturing still imagery it was no different than past cameras I have used. As a video camera it was much smaller than the ones I have used in the past and seemed to have all the capabilities of other digital video cameras I have used before.

Were you able to successfully implement your Image Capturing Strategies using the features of this camera?
Yes, the camera did not prevent me from achieving my image capturing strategy in anyway.

In an ideal world, how would your still/video camera of choice function?
For this type of project, I would say that the still/video camera we were provided with was the ideal type. It was small, portable, and very easy to work with.

2. Discuss your choice of video-editing software and describe your history with this software. If you used this software for the first time, explain why you chose this particular application and how you think it helped you to accomplish your creative goals (or proved detrimental).
For this project I chose to use the old iMovie application to edit my imagery. I did not use the new, updated version because it is absent of special effects and transition elements. I chose the old iMovie over other applications because I was extremely familiar with it. I have used the application in nearly all of my other video projects from the past and was well aware of its capabilities and functions. My familiarity with the application allowed me to freely accomplish my creative goals as there were no problems that created frustration.

Will you use this software again for future projects?
Yes, I will most definitely use this software again. Until I have an opportunity to try out an application such as Quicktime Pro for free, I will continue to use the old iMovie, as it is reliable, free, and friendly to me, before I make an investment with software such as Quicktime Pro.
