Video DSLR vs Camcorder: How to Look Hollywood

Feb 04 2010

Do you want to shoot professional ‘Hollywood’ style video? Do you want your video creations to look more like real film and less like the digital eye-sores that are the status quo on YouTube and other video sharing sites?

Juicebox Wine

This is red wine in a convenient 180ml juice box. It tastes like good cheap vino and the English on the box calls it Paradise Wine! Drinking wine through a straw is a new one for me. Probably good for the bedside. Or a road sodie.
