During my experiments in manipulating time over the past year, I have been using a fairly simple Logitech HD Webcam. Able to shoot in 720p/20fps with a very small footprint, it has served its purpose well. But, what that camera lacks is what I most desire: visual clarity and vibrancy in color.
The vibrant colors spread on canvas and crisp lines carved into paper will be captured much in higher quality with the latest tool added to the studio.
Sayno VPC-FH1a
This crazy little powerhouse has me giddy. Capable of shooting video in full 1080p/60 to 600fps and 8MP still photographs.

My Nikon has been used reliably for almost three years now. It’s been dropped, kicked (accidentally), lost then found and submerged in the Little Miami river in two separate canoeing events. Still works great.

The Sayno gives incredible detail and color with less noise and distortion. I’m already going back and rephotographing all my work.
Here is the first 1080p footage I took upon opening the box.
I am very pleased with the quality of the photographs and video. This gives me more drive to film and create. Also I don’t have to be tethered to a PC, so I can go outside and film! It’s about time.
Amidst all the flurry of excitement in the studio today, I find many creative ideas rushing through my imagination. I must go write them down…
