Video capture
Right after the initial video capture buzz wore off, I lamented my lack of video literacy. There seemed to be no hope for me as a home cineaste. Mom later replied in email not to worry about editing the content, just capture the video, burn it onto CDs, and send it along.
Now I see why. There's an Elvis-fanlike audience for this stuff.
As I capture the raw footage from our last tape, Timothee has his eyeballs inches from the screen, eagerly contemplating willow tree branches blowing in the wind, laughing every time he or his siblings appear, generally wanting me to move away and let him sit in the editor's chair.
PS The worst part is that since I reinstalled my home system, I broke something in Kino's configuration or in how the video devices are set up. Kino now no longer manages to save anything I capture! Spent an hour with Tim slobbering away at my elbow and nothing to show for it.
