why do kids think you need a $2000.00 video camera to film your friends??????

we made a little video with a $200. camera this summer and put it together with ms movemaker. it's not the best but were not making fully flared

Just recently Krooked skateboards but or a new vid called Gnar Gnar filmed completely on a Vhs Camera. So it just goes to show it doesn't really matter what camera you use, it all depends on how well you can to use it.; ▶ Reply to This
