G'day. This is the first paltry installment of the New McPherson video blog.
Last week we took delivery of the latest weapon in our video arsenal - the Canon 7D. Whilst it's a digital SLR - a still camera - it also shoots full HD! It opens up an infinite number of creative possibilities, greatest of which is the ability for us to pop on prime lenses which deliver amazing depth of field. We're really excited about getting out for our next event films. Not happy to sit around and wait, Colin and myself had a muck around with it on Friday afternoon drinks with the RockIT boys (Jono was too busy dominating Mario Cart to help). For the record, I managed to sneak in a few race victories (an extremely rare occurrence), and as you can see, it's no mean feat given I look like I'm receiving some kind of electronic shock therapy. Col put this clip together in a few minutes whilst Jono was putting the RockIT boys to the sword.

Well, that's it, you're probably wondering when all the work gets done around here. Also, thanks to Matilda Bay for the Fat Yak!
Cheers, James
