For really good garden video, you need... A video camera! Not always an added expenditure... many digital SLR cameras are capable of capturing your garden video in very good quality. Most cell phones also have video and the quality is constantly improving. A tripod is essential. All of these cameras, except the huge professional models, are very light-weight. And its impossible to hold your hand steady. My first effort made me feel sea-sick when I watched it. The manual... a must to study before you use the video camera for your garden videos. Then keep it as your constant companion. Never know when you'll need it. Computer sofware comes with your video camera. But, there are more advanced software programs, like iMovie that came with my Mac. My Mac also has Garage Band to record music and other sound. After finishing the movie, Quick Time works with iMovie to convert mov files to other formats. You've probably heard of MP4. That's the format I use for my website videos, but there are other formats. I really like iMovie so I don't use the Canon program. You'll find several videos on my site. But you might want to to take a look at my garden videos all on one page.
Not Ready To Make Your Garden Video Yet? Maybe you aren't computer savvy - or you don't have the time - but you'd still love a garden video or a video of your garden event.
Let ME do it for you!
There are all kinds of events that scream for garden videos... - a garden birthday
- garden weddings
- your garden looks fantastic this year! Isn't that all the event you need?
- a garden anniversary
- a morning in the garden playing with your kids and the dog
- any other special happening in your garden
I know you'll want photos of all your garden events but think about the extra-special touch of video! You'll re-live the laughter, tears and hugs again and again. And how popular are garden weddings...right? Spring and summer at Queen Elizabeth Park here in Vancouver is Wedding Central. Beautiful brides. Handsome husbands. Busy photographers! And recently the video cameras are popping up. Fantastic! Why would anyone miss recording the most important day of a couple's life together in video? What a great way to celebrate a first anniversary! Snuggle up together on the couch... turn on the TV and celebrate the wedding day again! How many special times have you let slip by without recording them for you and the people you love? Leaving behind a piece of your history in video is so much more meaningful than passing on the old clock on the mantel. The garden you care for and life's celebrations that take place there... they should be remembered and passed on. The grandchildren you may not even have yet would be ever so grateful. So, for the most important events... contact me to create your garden video. I guarantee, 100%, that you'll love it. In fact I'm so sure of it that.... ...if you don't, you can return the video and I'll refund every cent of your money. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Tips - before you purchase your video camera...It seems there are thousands of video cameras on the market today. And they get smaller, better, and light in weight. All great features! But before you buy one - - Know what you want your video camera to do.
- Do a lot of research for cameras that have the functions you want.
- Go to several camera stores for information. Don't be shy about asking the staff what their choice is and why.
- Use the internet. Go to www.Amazon.com and do a search for video cameras. When you see something you like, read about it, especially the reviews and comments from people who've used the camera. Scroll down the page to find that information.
I tried out my niece's older Canon before deciding if a video camera was for me. The software didn't work with my computer... it was just too old. Even though I lost all my captures, it was still fun. Decision made! Next step was finding the right video camera for me. My favorite camera store staff advised me that a Canon Vixia HF200 would do the job. And it IS doing the job. Video is such great fun!
