Title
Camcorder Reviews, Product News, Digital Video Editing and How to Information
Description
I'd been writing reviews, how-to tutorials and user features about video makers for UK consumer magazines like Camcorder User (now Digital Video ), What Camcorder (now What Digital Camcorder ), Computer Video (sadly no more) and Mac User magazines, among others, when it occurred to me that the words I'd gone to great efforts to string together would disappear from the planet once next month's issue hit the newstands. It was 2001, and this internet thing was getting to be pretty popular, with the tools to create websites becoming more user-friendly and accessible. Inevitably, I thought: "I can do that!", and after a prolonged search to find the ideal domain name, SimplyDV was born with the aim of extending the life of my written works.
The basic philosophy behind SimplyDV is, and always been, that it should provide a place on the web where people can come and find out about what equipment is available and how they might use it to best effect. I've always been a believer in the KISS (keep it simple, stupid) philosophy, and this is reflected in the domain name - SimplyDV . It's simply about digital video. The strap-line The no-nonsense guide to choosing and using digital video sums it all up, I hope!
I first got interested in film-making and photography when in my teens whilst living in Plymouth, Devon (in the UK's south-west region). I loved Standard-8mm and Super-8mm, and this interest got me part-time contract at the then regional ITV company, Westward Television, in Plymouth. I worked on the UK's first regular young people's open access TV show as an editorial advisor / contributor, and it was here that I tried to combine researching, writing and presenting items for a bi-weekly TV show with my GCE studies at school. The contract took me out on location with 16mm film crews as well as plonking me in front of studio cameras (without Autocue) in order to present segments as live to camera in WTV's Studio One in Plymouth. This experience was repeated when I was later taking my A Levels (which explains a lot) and I loved it. What an experience - and to think I got paid for it too!
