Most if not all of the entries I will do here will be shot in HD video. They will play in a small window in the blog, but you can always click on the window to bring it up in full-screen HD. That will be handy for seeing some of the smaller details. I'll also be shooting the shots in one-take, to save on any post-editing. More details after the video.
To capture the video I am using a Canon SD780IS. Beyond it being a very small handheld 12Mpixel digital camera, it also shoots amazing HD wide-screen video. You can see more HERE.
For a tripod, I use the ultra-cool Joby Gorillapod. See more HERE.
