Wow, I was really on one about making movies earlier today.
Huh. That's big talk from a guy that only makes bad TV shows.

@ajroach42 I appreciated you mentioning the Canon XL1. That thing was my war horse back when I made online video, back in the days when you couldn't stream HD video online even if you wanted to
@jalefkowit honestly, as long as you've got a decent recording monitor for it, it's still a great camera, maybe the best standard def camera you can still get reliably?
I love ours. I don't use it often enough.
@jalefkowit I got it specifically because it looks so much like a Professional Camera that I figured we could use it to bully our way into press passes.
Mostly, it works! The people who recognize that it's an ancient DV camera also recognize that you're only going to be using an ancient DV camera if you have a reason to, the ones that don't think it's FANCY.
Well not *only* TV.
I also make video games, and toys, and podcasts, and short stories, and I've got about 2/3s of an ongoing serialized novel out, and some comic books, and ...
But sometime I'll have to actually make a movie.
First though, more podcasts.
I got a USB mic from walmart. It was $25. I have *concerns*.
I'm going to hook it up in about fifteen minutes and find out how bad it is.
If it's not as bad as I'm worried it will be, I'll start recording the next update for my podcast tonight, and continue to do small recordings while we're on the road.
If it *is* as bad as I'm worried it might be, I'll return it and pick up something from bestbuy once we're in transit.
@ajroach42 …which podcast? Are we getting more Expedition Sasquatch??
@DoctorDeathray Eventually! But I'm working on the space stuff rn.
Did you see the new space corps recruitment ad? https://communitymedia.video/w/27KZxUjqb6Q5KkYYvzjoVq
