It's the sea...in HD!

So I basically spent most of my summer working and the result of my out of character money saving is this: my new, extremely beautiful, HD Sony camcorder.

It films in full 1080HD and it took about 2 hours (literally) to upload this...so I'm probably saving it in the wrong format? All this was filmed on manual settings; manual focus, exposure and white balance so the focus is a bit out now and again because I've only had it for about 24 hours ;p I haven't colour corrected/changed the exposure/anything in post. AHHHHH. IN LOVE WITH.

Sorry for the geeking out, I'm excited ~ hope everyone's going to watch the Spooks Series 9 finale tonight, I'm probably going to be unable to breathe until past midnight.

woah. I felt like i actually WAS by the sea!

I must say im not a fan of the seaside at this time of year, but this is so awesome with the light and stuff! the way this is edited is just amazing, honestly you need to work for the bbc NOW :) xxx

@xXFunkyFillyXx I LOVE the seaside this time of year because it's empty, and not full of annoying tourists ;) plus the lighting is prettier....can't say much about the editing since I just shoved it all on ahaha. Well if someone from the BBC ever tells you they're looking for an editor, say I would run to London if they want me ;)

THANK YOUUUU!
