I Loved the video. Without wanting to sound too geeky, what kind of equipment do you use to produce this ?

Could I do something like this with an ordinary digital camera ?

Thanks : )

Equipment...
Computer: Compaq nx9030
Digital video camera: Panasonic NV-GS70
Digital camera: Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FX9
Video editing software: Adobe Premiere Elements

I think my camera might be half broken because sometimes the colour randomly changes. But it may be my fault, and not the machine.
Sometimes I have problems with the microphone connection because it is cheap/useless.
I’m not a computer/camera expert, and I don’t know if these things are good or not compared to what else is available.
For what I am doing, I think ideas and creativity are more important than the equipment anyway.

I think it is still possible to make a great show with the cheapest equipment and most basic editing software.

Could you do something like this with an ordinary digital camera? You mean interview people in the street? Yeah, I think so. Anything is possible. The sound quality probably wouldn't be so good without a mic. And if your camera was too small, people might not stop and talk to you.
