Fantastic audio and DOF. I have the Tascam. Did you use one mic? How did you caputer such great audio?

[StaceyCochran]

One mic. A Rode boom mic, I think. We recorded the first three poems in the video on the TASCAM HD-P2. Then, I edited the audio in Audacity (compressed, made stereo, and amplified to about -4 db peak). You may notice a bass boost in the last poem, too.

stock DOF right?

[StaceyCochran]

No stock footage. It was all shot on a Saturday with the Panasonic HPX170. That's the natural DOF on the camera with no adapter. Straight up.

[jayflo92008]

When "toolfanpete" said the word "stock," he meant: The lens that came with the camera, as oppose to a 35mm DOF adapter with Nikon lenses (for example).

Yes, the flower-print dress, definitely. Calhoun's poetry is even lovelier. Kudos!
