great video! judging from the angle of your camera, we must have been standing really close by to each other - how strange that both of us would post it on youtube! lol

btw what kind of camera do you use? the quality is really good

Thanks for watching. For that event, I used the Sony HDR-FX7. So, it is a high-definition camcorder.

Unfortunately I missed this event, I hope to be able to participate in this next year! Thanks for the post, and the quality is amazing.
