We'll generate three kinds of content:
- Video from auto-documentation stations with "push to record" button.
- Optimized for instant easy content-generation and streaming
- Video from e.g. a handycam with little to no editing prior to publication
- For documenting things that aren't stationary in our lab without a lot of forethought
- Video from a high quality film camera with a high dynamic range
- For stuff where we want to do color grading and really spend time editing
Auto-documentation stations
juul has been working on this using Raspberry Pi computers.
Handycam recordings
We may want to look at the new HDR-PJ810 and HDR-PJ540 camcorders from Sony. They're not too expensive and have crazy image stabilization, which is one of the biggest problems in hand-held filming. The cheaper model is only ~$500.
High quality film
~~ has been looking at the Black Magic Design Pocket Cinema Camera which is $1000 from new without a lens, but which a local film-maker that helped out with the indiegogo cheese video is selling (+ lenses and extras) used.
