This is my second project with my new camera... A few more lessons learned:
- *Always*, but always carry your tripod with you.
- Never carry your camera without a tripod.
- Never film without your camera on a tripod.
- Always get a good tripod with a fluid head.
- Don't jerk around; especially when you are zoomed way in
- Don't zoom too fast - in or out
- Pan slowly -- slower than is usually comfortable.
- Oh, and if I forgot to mention something about a tripod, it's a good thing to have to distinguish your movie from your neighbor's son's movie. External motion in a video just screams amateurism. (as I quickly found out)

@ Annie:
Thanks, I should have credited David Lanz with the music.... :)
@Sarah:
Yes, the water was taken at Stone Mountain, the cat at Luke and Rebecca's, the woods at Mocksville park, and the maple leaves out near Cleveland somewhere. The bug was on our van. :)
I learned those same things quite fast also!
