Re: Video from Fort Desoto

If we only had one more day, I could have had Darius run the Whaler, and 
I would have tried adding to the raw stock. I know my way around the 
video world from interning at the local ABC affiliate in Detroit in a 
previous life, and handling portion of the video work for our county 
government.

Next time, I might be able to bring some of the county equipment, if the 
scheduling works. Downside might be if it's held out on the coast next 
year during the summer, Gail and I would fly out be w/o Whaler (our  
busy season for good weather is much like yours, June - August, and a 
15day vacation would drastically cut into that).

The county has two DV cameras, one just like yours, and the next step 
down. The smaller one does not have the interchangable lens mount, but 
now that I've seen exactly what your trying to accomplish, it would 
probably work better, as it's smaller, easier to handle, and may be 
easier to find a soft shell waterproof case for it.

What would really be great is if I can locate one of the gyro stablized 
systems for rent for that time frame. I researched and located a rental 
agency for such a unit for a, um.... "project" that our office was 
working on (it involved video at night from an aerial platform....'nuff 
said) These gyro units would eliminate any pitch or roll. Period.
