Less Editing = More Great Video

[SpectateSwamp]

With digital video, the playback can start and stop anywhere.
No need to physically edit stuff out. Skip over it.
no mess of mini-clips everywhere. Just the originals.

A lot of time can be spent editing.
The less you edit, the more time you have for videoing.
The more you shoot, the better you get.
The more you shoot, the more great clips you capture.
(Law of averages)

For non-fiction video, outdoors, sports, news etc.

I'm trolling other video sites, for opinions supporting my side

Hollywood spends time and $$$ building rails, to make camera movements smooth.
I've learned to move with the camera and take out the footsteps.
The jiggle is reduced and the excitement increases.

Don't even try, going through heavy bush with a camera steady.
You will miss more shots, by adding too much equipment.

When I walk up to a big squirrel den and check out some of the entry holes
people are glued to the examination of that mound.
This kind of movement, wasn't done easily before,
because the equipment was huge and unwieldly.
I say take the camcorder and "run with it"

I've been re-reading the posts, where I still have viewing privileges.
Some of the banter was hilarious.
Anybody interested in carrying on the cause in those "BANNED" forums?

If you capture really good video it's hard to edit any of it.

See what you can do with unedited video.

I never get behind on my editing, I don't do any.
No advertisements, or sound tracks added.
