My very first (true) digital video production was started and completed in less than a single evening – thanks to the convenience of FireWire and the simplicity of Apple's iMovie. Say what you will about the Macintosh, but it works without forcing you to fuss with anything overly frivolous. When the boys from The Greater Des Moines Partnership paid me a visit the other day, I finally had an excuse to plug in my Canon GL-2. I showed them footage from Gnomedex, and they seemed pretty impressed with the size of our crowd. Well, the camera sat there for another day before I finally decided to dump it into an application. Importing the clips could not have been simpler, I swear. Anyway, if you can remember, my plan was to film scenes around my wife's childhood home – which just so happens to be the family farm. Yes, I married the farmer's daughter. Ha ha. I dumped it to a QuickTime file, exported it as an AVI, then converted it into the Windows Media format for my convenience. So, if you'd like to take a look at where Gretchen grew up, let me take you on a tour of the Hundling Farm.
