So yesterday, I tried to film an amigurumi tutorial, and every single camera I own just failed:
- My webcam, which I normally use, decided to make me sound like an incredibly deep-voiced man, and then proceeded to freeze my computer.
- My actual camera decided to fall down every time I stood it up on the little tripod (that is due to the amazing design skills of the camera-tripod company, the camera weighs down one side, so it falls... clever.), and then I couldn't see what I was filming, and then the brand new batteries died. That's old technology for you.
- So finally, I propped up my phone, which has a pretty decent camera on it, and it also kept falling over because it's thin, and a tape-roll/stapler standing-mechanism was bound to fail from the beginning. The maximum record time then kicked in, so I managed to film, but in 2-minute pieces, and I have no idea if all of the footage was actually filmed.
So, I had a epiphany. I should invest in an actual video camera! As a classically jobless teenager (not for lack of trying, I might add), this isn't going to be as easy a task as it may sound, but I am going to try my very best. eBay here I come!
The good thing is, once I get one, I will be able to film half-decent videos, and it will be so much easier, so they will probably be more frequent too. Also, summer is soon, and I'm hoping to do some vloggin'.
