It's a little hard to believe - but I've pretty much ignored video as a medium. This isn't because I don't believe in the power of video - but mainly because of technological issues. After all, in 2008 when I graduated from the University of Hawaii - my main focus was anthropology and my secondary focus was film making through the Academy of Creative Media. But here is where the issues with technology arose. I left Hawaii with a small suitcase (carry on) and a backpack. I brought a Sony Handycam and a Vaio laptop with me. I had a huge and heavy external hard drive that I left behind. I had professional grade software for film editing on the Vaio but the storage technology in 2008 was such that importing and using raw video files wasn't really something that could be done on a rig as light as mine. When my Vaio failed in 2009, I opted to go lighter and moved all of my web work to an Acer Netbook with a 10-inch screen. My Razr Flip-phone took video and I would sometimes take video with my 8, 10, or 12 megapixel cameras - but mostly the quality was terrible and the editing I was now doing on a Windows Movie Maker freeeware program was sub-optimal.
