The MindBites Insight (Episode #1 - Basic Camera Operation)
Posted by Keith · January 24th, 2008Ladies and Gentlemen:
Presented here in its entirety with minimal commercial interruptions and FCC censorship is the pilot episode of The MindBites Insight. This little weekly event, benevolently brought to you by the hardworking MindBites production team, is intended to be a platform for us to share our video knowledge with you. Once a week (or more, if we’re feeling spicy), we’ll take you through a heart-pumping, teeth-grinding thrill ride; through the ins and outs of video production. Between all of us, we’ve got over one billion years of experience in camera technique and editing operation, and we aim to share it all, even the useless and mind-numbing, with our millions of adoring fans.
In this week’s adventure, we detail the specifics of basic camera operation. We take you through the general features found on most digital camcorders, regardless of make and model. We’ll discuss the benefits of certain brands and the hindrances of others, what to look for when buying a camcorder, and how shooting format should influence your purchase. This lesson should work as a wonderful and eye-opening introduction to the world of video production. All beginners are welcome, as well as intermediate users looking to brush up their skills, or bored college kids desperately trying to drown out their Geology professor’s discussion on cleavage and fracture.
If you enjoy the lesson, please return for our subsequent episodes, always free of charge and only on MindBites.com.

Cool video, it can be intimidating with all the options. I can’t wait to drop CCD into casual conversation at the next family party!
Good point on the mic input. Speaking of which, there is a slight clicking sound in the background, just fyi.
You need to breakdown how you did the intro, that was way funny.
