Why do I love your intro song so much?

Hi Lizzie, I have a quick question…I’m wondering what type of camera and lapel mic you are using. Thanks for the help!

Girl, you’ve got awesome skin. I know, off track there… it’s about lighting. Sorry, I get distracted by your beauty.

Might be a really basic question, but you use a tripod right? And I noticed the mic on your shirt. How do you connect that to your cam? I have a Flip and another Flip-like cam.

Wendy, you’re so cute. It’s free music from I-movie! Gotta love that.

Stacey, I’m using the Kodak ZI8 mini HD video camera. I love it because it has a mic input. Unfortunately, I don’t know the name of my microphone but I know you can pick them up online at Radio Shack.

Melanie, I definitely use a tripod. Nothing fancy – just some cheap tripod I picked up at our local camera shop. I use the Koda Zi8 mini video HD camera and it’s hard to take steady video without a tripod. And yes, i’m wearing a lapel mic. The specific Kodak video camera comes with a mic input so you can plug one right in. I like Flip cameras too but not as many features.
