wow...I actually forgot all about this thread!
so before i say anything, I'll follow up on a couple of the topics here...
I started this thread over three years ago?
when I got a new "smartphone"
(which appeared to shoot acceptable video).
Well, that phone lasted six weeks before it broke down...turned into a perpetual
problem piece of hardware and finally the touch screen gave up completely at about 18 months.
And that, once again, left me without a working phone even though I am still paying a bill.
Bell telephone refused to help me numerous times through all this
even though I have been a solid (mobilie) customer with them for 23 years.
I am no longer with them, having run out my contract (eventually!).
...
Last year I bought (on eBay) a factory refurbished Samsung HD Sports Cam.
For only $49.
Tiny little thing, about the size and shape of a smartphone, that shoots 720/1080p HD video and high quality stills (5mb plus).
It became my regular use camera...replaced my phone for that.
And I used it to shoot the videos at last year's IPMC event.
Its shock proof and waterproof.
It loads up ready to shoot in under 2 seconds!
I recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot on something like a GoPro.
...
As I said, I am no longer with bell....just switched to Rogers (here in southern Ontario)
...got a new phone plan, with unlimited text and local calling (for the same money as what I had with Bell!)
...and scored a Samsung Galaxy phone.
Love the phone...hopefully it will hold out longer than the last "smartphone".
It has nice Camera and Video capabilities, but I will continue to use my HD Sports Cam for that.
So...all is good...at the moment.
....
So now...that brings me to my recent video efforts:
Dave's Card Creations Video Blog
Okay, so I am no Ridley Scott (hes a real Director)
...and I don't narrate like Morgan Freeman (he has a nice voice).
And...I'm no Actor...like PeeWee Herman
But, I decided to give a try at doing a VideoBlog...
and maybe I can do a regular one when there are new topics to report on.
And with practice, maybe I can improve the quality of the productions.
Or wear a paperbag.
For now, please check out the first edition!

One of the things I would like to do with these videos is show some of the tips and techniques
that you are interested in. I'm no expert on all things paper, but I can definitely show some
build tips with regards to my own models or maybe help with one of your builds.
If you've got an idea for video content, or have something you would like to see,
just drop me a line (email), or post it on the forum.
