Indeed - cameras are getting pretty good results these days, and this is just a basic model (Canon SX10-is, about $400). I use Windows Movie Maker to edit and render all my final productions, so adding audio is as easy as dragging a WAV file into the audio timeline :-) Thanks for stopping by!
Hi there! You will need a camera that has full manual mode (most do), and a tripod... set the aperture wide open (f2.7 or however low the number can go), ISO to the highest setting without too much noise (usually 400 or 800, but you'll have to experiment with this), (manual) focus set to infinity, zoom all the way out (widest angle), and shutter speed somewhere between 8 and 30 seconds.
From here you can experiment with your camera to see what gets the best results for you :-)
Look into other Canon models - specifically those which are on the CHDK supported list (CHDK is a firmware hack for many Canon models)... It may be possible to get good results with one of the less expensive models. You can Google it for much more info. :-)
I do allow free use of my material of non-profit purposes... I'll send you the info in a message... Cheers! =)

Hi... I was wondering if I could borrow your video for adding it to a song?
