Intro Design

I want to add a creative intro to my film. I was thinking of adding a chinese style design motion intro that has cool effects in it. Ive looked up some research...

Panasonic HD camcorder

Today I went an bought a brand new HD camcorder. I done this because in my past videos I used older camcorders with less quality and it took away from the film in a way. I wanted to reach a new level of film making and I believe spending some money will help acheive this. Its a Panasonic HDR SD60 memory camcorder, it has great reviews on youtube by owners so I wanted to see for myself. I will begin to experiment with some shots and find the right shots for my film.
