  1. I'm dreadful with video cameras and in a very fixed selection process I was given the task of recording the Nativity plays - both of them!

    Uploading video to the computer of yesterdays Nativities , now down to editing and making them watch-able.

    Obviously for the parents they're going to be marvellous because their little precious' are in them but the filming does have a certain 'mood' to it, I'm thinking Tarantino-esque :eek:

    Definitely not good at filming even worse cobbling it together to make an end product. ::)

    Good job we don't charge for the DVD ;D

    Ok, spill, what are you bad at? And proud enough to say ;)
