With my apologies to the 70s British New Wave band The Buggles (who sang “Video Killed the Radio Star”), I offer this (far more positive) update.
We are moving beyond tape, and bringing in a full range of middle-range and top-of-the-line Panasonic flash memory cameras.
Here, 2nd-Semester Junior Edward Sovago-Royal shows [...]

One of my two VID222 (Field Production and Editing II) classes had fun practicing with our Panasonic HVX200 PD high-definition cameras today.
Here, Zak Seidman, KC White, and Tyler Baldwin planned out a short shot to figure out the basic functionality of the camera, in a stairwell in the [...]

Last week, we held our Senior Film & Video Showcase 2010, on Thursday and Friday evenings. Both nights were, collectively, a resounding success. For the first time, we screened the Senior projects from Blu-Ray discs, and the result was the best visual quality screenings we have ever had (I had fun creating the discs, too, [...]
