Camera? More like BAM-era!

When the tables finally turn on the recession and I become Oprah-rich, all my card videos will be shot with this baby:
This is the kind of madness you get when you mash a Canon HV20, a Letus35 Mini with rod support, a Rode Videomic with a windscreen, a Cavision grips & lens support system, and some badass lenses and a hood together: something so awesome that merely touching it will give your future grandchildren night vision. With a thing of this stature, you might as well become a sniper already. Ka-BAM!

History:
I made this video to demonstrate an application of the Visa Switch from Smooth Operations. While the method for this effect isn’t very practical in and of itself (you’ll know why – I accidentally flash in the video at one point), I hope the visual nature of the routine will inspire some of you to come up with a better, alternative approach.
Special thanks to Allan Hagen for helping me out with the video export settings. Click here to watch it in HD.
