    7 Tips for Making Great Home Movies
    One of my favorite things to do is make home movies. (Is "home movies" an antiquated term now? Is it "home videos" at this point?) But no matter what the motivation, regardless of the subject, no matter where it's shot, or what the intent is, every movie I make does have one thing in common -- I consider it to be art.

And if you're one who hasn't made a lot of videos, but would like to - I have 7 tips for you that I've found useful: - By John Cave Osborne

      Select a good video camera
      To make great home movies, you need a great video camera. Period. As you can see from this photo, I've owned more than one, and there's a reason for that. Regardless, if you select a video camera you love as much as I love mine, then you're halfway home.
