I was messing around with my brand new Canon Vixia HV40. I made a tripod dolly out of PVC piping and eight inline skate wheels..its not the smoothest dolly around, I need to tweak it a bit. The footage was taken in about 20 minutes or so, not really planned out. All I have on the lens is a UV adapter. I edited it on Windows Moviemaker, so there is no color correction or any of that fancy stuff, just a few fades and slow motion. The dolly was actually on top of my bulkhead at a 45 degree angle, so I had to adjust the tripod head to even it out.

You said you use Movie maker right? How did you get the colors on the Icicles and the part with the cat? I liked those. If you know how you did it Please reply or send me a msg. :) Thanks, Nice vid, 5*.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the feedback! I didn't alter the color in any way in post. I just used the standard lens with a Hoya UV adapter over it. That soft glow came simply from being lucky and catching the sun as it was setting. I got this camera to film a movie trailer for a script I wrote, I'll be posting some more videos soon as I learn more tricks with this thing. Good luck Tom, thanks again!

Hey I need some help. I also have a canon hv40, and i'm trying to edit with movie maker as well. When I connect the fire wire to the camera and put capture video, it tells me that it's not recognized. Did this happen to you? How did you get around it?
