Helen snapped (what's the moving-picture equivalent of snapping?) this video of Hunter on a camcorder I'm reviewing, and I've found myself entranced by Hunter's CRAZY BIG EYES. For the full effect, watch it in splendiferous 1080i* High Def here on Vimeo.

Sorry about the weirdy crap cut at the end, by the way. It appears to be a side effect of the rather cheap video editing software included with the camera (and I've lost my copy of Premiere, sob).

* I know, I know. It can't do 720p for some reason.

You're welcome.

As per Si's note, the video below is very flickery so anyone with epilepsy, or who simply dislikes flickery things, should probably beware.

A test taken with the Casio EX-F1, which shoots video at 300fps or full-resolution photos at 60fps. The plan now is to film Hunter or Ralph jumping - it needs lots of light at this speed, though.

This is brilliant, in a rather shouty political discourse kind of way (with that in mind, watch this). US political pundit who compares Obama's policy to that of appeasement is shown up brilliantly as the host demands, over and over again, that he should explain what Neville Chaimberlain actually did. He has no idea. Skip to about half way through if you're short on time.
