Disaster

In this day and age of technology, things do come so handy. Things do come in an instant. With digital camera and decent inkjet printer we get an instant photo for our album. We can even upload it on the web and create a web album to share to friends and family.

With the digital handicam and a computer, we're just a shoot away from our dream of becoming a filmmaker. With the LCD projector, you can organize a red carpet premiere of your video.

Technology breeds a new culture. That includes people who lost their patience! It's great to have those piece of technology, but since people are not patient enough to read their users' manual...technology is now spelled as DISASTER!

How long will it take for us to read the manual for our new cellphone or our new handicam's manual. Or go online to search for online support and manuals.

Searching for manuals and support is far better than browsing porn and bet that you won't get any spyware and virus from the site.

For weeks now, I am editing my so-called "Longest 10-minute Video" simply because the people who did the shooting never cared to read the manual or at least ask around how to use their new HDV camera.

They shot different formats on a single DV tape!DV and HD in one tape then add the timecode breaks, poor audio and a tight deadline...that's disaster!

My advice is...know your equipment! Be it a cellphone, a laptop, a camera or even your keyboard. Try pressing Alt+F4.
