Thinking about getting ds a camcorder for Christmas. He wants to make films when we go on daytrips and walks and so on. He's into wildlife so this may be a consderation. He'd like to film the badgers in our garden (although not quite sure how we'd set that one up). Oh and he wants to make little dramas with his Lego and Playmobil (although I explained that this is stop start animation rather than magically making the things move and filming it).
He's very enamoured with the idea of editing, adding music and so on. Oh, and with filming mishaps to win money on You've Been Framed
I don't want to spend megabucks but imagine that like with most things audio-visual ther's a balance to be found between cheap crap and over-spec. I just don't know how to find that balance! We've never had a camcorder so I really have no idea.
Any ideas?
