... a new video camera!!
 
I'll prolly play with it for 6 months and then it'll be consigned to the bottom of the "to play with" pile through lack of time/ideas/imagination. Just like my other toys.
 
Unless...  someone can come up with a half decent project I could work on with it.
 
The main reason I got it was because I've been playing with computer graphics on and off for the past 30 years.  Every time I get proficient new software or a new version comes out or computers get more powerfull and can do more things and I start again at square 1.
I'm currently (re)learning Blender and this latest version does full motion/camera capture allowing you to composite GC onto video right out of the box.  Here's one of the latest offerings created entirely in Blender, Tears of Steel.
 
I don't expect to produce anything along those lines,  maybe a 3 minute music video...  who knows..  For now I just love playing with the technology.
 
I got one of these. It's being delivered tomorrow.

Congrats on the new toy!!
 
Of note, I saw this in the software forum:http://forum.cakewalk.com/Hitfilm-xpress-now-free-through-feb-4th-m2972606.aspx for a free version of Hitfilm Xpress and it seems to be a good product (for free :))
 
Not sure how this compares to Blender as I haven't done any type of video editing......but, always wanted to.

Dang!  I don't remember Blender being able to do anything like that!

Do you know how large the video movies will be? very large.
 
Take a video of a buffalo(s) maybe.

Meebee, but that's only the DIAGONAL!!!  What about the "other" dimensions?  Some scientists think there's as many as ten or more!

For that we must use Silly String theory Karyn!
