This is the 2nd film documentary I produced with my Panasonic HDC-SD1 AVCHD video camera. What makes this camera so sweet is the compactness and weight. It has allowed me to film  in the “run and gun” shooting method. I place the palm sized solid state HD film camera on a Manfrotto monopod which allows me to shoot from ground level up to 12 feet in the air with great stbility.
