<font size="2"><font face="georgia,serif">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. <br>
