Flying Filmmaker | 20141001
Flying Filmmaker | 20141001 | 1-memo.com | Diving image of Christmas tree tube worm (Spirobranchus Giganteus – NL Spiraal Kokerworm) underwater Caribbean Sea – Bonaire (Netherlands), 2004. Flying start of making video in 2004 using ultrathin Sony DSC-T1 .
Video became my primary focus 10 years ago – rather than still photography – when I started using the T1 from Sept 2004 … the first ultra-thin Sony T-series digital camera – build with the form factor of a mobile phone (with no lens coming out). More about the camera specifications and review below. I also bought an underwater housing for diving with the camera and that same month started using that camera while diving, driving a car on dirt tracks … everywhere for a first travelogue of a few weeks at the Caribean islands Bonaire and Curaçao.
It was a funny sight to see that little camera in underwater housing floating between the other huge camera’s in the large fresh-water tub on board of the diving boat used to travel to dive sites.
About 1 hour of video (3 GB) was captured with that camera those first 2 weeks using a few expensive 256 MB Sony ‘duo’ memory cards and ‘adventurous’ (problematic) file-transfer burning to CDs using the T1’s docking station and a diving-resort’s PC.
Specifications
The lens-system is folded entirely within the camera , even though that camera has a 3x optical zoom. So, basically working with that camera is comparable with nowadays phones like the iPhone. It captures clean video (SD – 640×480 pixels) with autofocus and auto-exposure and mono-sound.
Past and present – videography
I never did video before.
My first encounter with primitive video had started 1 year earlier (2003) when I started with digital photography, as described some weeks ago (in this ① memo album) in memos 20140722 , 20140801, 20140806.
First love was that likewise built ‘matchbox’ Konica Revio C2 camera. Next sound was possible with the Canon Powershot G3 camera.
Finally when I first watched an ice hockey clip made with that Sony T1 camera in a January 2004 ‘Steve’s DigiCams Review’ I knew that would be my first real little video camera. A quality build camera too I noticed June 2004 when Erik Herbonnet showed up with the T1 !
Ever since that T1, I kept using Sony T series cameras for daily use. I still use one today. However first as of Dec 2013 I ‘forced myself’ using an iPod touch first, and next bought an iPhone May this year and that’s what I have been using for daily picts and video since.
