I am putting together my kit for the little video project I am working on, called “Perfection” (TBC). This is a nature based study of my local area.

The idea is to put together a series of sample clips of the amazing things happening around my area using all the tricks the two (three) cameras can offer as well as some stills.

I will use it as a video portfolio and to help get my head around all the techniques on offer.

I do a lot of video regularly. but not with my best stuff or much of a plan.
