These are experimental 30-second video portraits.
---
The equipment is primitive: a Canon Power Shot A80. It is a 4-megapixil still camera, but also records very low-quality audio and video. The fun challenge is: How to overcome the limitations of this rudimentary gear?
---
For the most part, these portraits were completely unrehearsed. We met, we drove to the location, and we filmed spontaneously. I always encouraged the person to offer ideas for their portrait, but usually they preferred to be directed.
---
The main idea is to have fun capturing a few moments in time.

All the participants' words were recorded using the (horrible quality) on-board camera mic. The music beds were prepared using Sony ACID loops. Editing was done in Sony Vegas 5.
