Want a Good Video Tip? Go See a Good Movie!

Q: Do you have to have an expensive camera to shoot good video?

A: Go to the Disposable Film Fest to find out!  Films from all over the world shot with amateur video camcorder devices such as cell phones, point and shoot cameras, one-time-use video cameras and web cams will be shown at the Disposable Film Festival tonight through Sunday night in San Francisco.

These days, you can get a cheap video camera and teach yourself how to video. That opens a world of possibilities you wouldn't dream of taking with an expensive camera. Now you can get really creative and launch a camera attached to a bunch of balloons and see what happens. Imagination is the only limiting factor.

But is it worth watching? If not, throw it away.
