New Zoom H1 coming

[Phillip E Cash Cash]

I want to briefly add that using a video camera has its challenges as much
as audio recording.  For example, setting up your camera in front of a
consultant/elder is not the best way to proceed (as I come to learn!) as the
person may freeze up before the camera when it comes time to turn it on.
Deer in the headlights kind of thing.  What I started to do was to have my
camera ready to run once I arrived at my location (tripod, audio mic, plug
ready, etc.).  Some elders start without any hesitation or cues from you, so
you have to be ready!  It also helped that I had the camera positioned below
head level (from the floor) rather than at eye level, etc.  This prevents
"looking" into the camera via our normal eye gaze behavior.  Often I sat
next to the camera rather than behind the camera.  However, if they gestured
quite a bit, as is common, then you may have to sit behind the camera to
capture extraordinary occasional gestures (via the movement of the camera
frame).    All of this describes a interview session on par with audio
recording.  As with most anything, grasping the visual/audio know how can
only come with experience and practice.
