what the fuck, i ask you.
when i borrow higher end video equipment from people (mainly dv cams), why, god why, is someone's crappy christmas always on the tape within?
honestly, this has happened like 5 times.
i have this canon GL-2 (soso SEXY) in my posession so i can finish running these video -> flash export tests for a site i'm working on. and low and behold, when i got the camera from this guy named dan with hornrimmed 50's glasses in a parkinglot a few blocks from here, came home, threw on some headphones and watched what was on the included dv tape, it was somebody's crappy christmas.
the neat thing about this is that this cam has stereo mics. so not only is it someone's crappy christmas, you can hear all of the separate conversations going on in the room, one by one, in high fidelity digital.
the children unwrap their tinkertoys or cars or easy-bake ovens or whatever, and some lady in the background is going "ooh, OOOH!! bo-dy glit-ter. for my BOODYY." and then "ooh, OOH!! lo-tion."
so in essence some 30 something woman's kid is being taken care of by the grandparents while she coos in the background as she recieves more mature gifts. amongst other things.
"dan's wearing a christmas sweater today!" (then someone whispers: "he looks like bill cosby".
so what, i'm a voyeur about it. it's still funny.
