Today I went to a conference on HD media in film production as part of the Revelation Film festival. I was hoping for an insight on techniques for amateurs on achieving quality shots using decent digital cameras. It was an interesting session with Toby Oliver and some other big Australia film industry names. Toby has worked on Last Train to Freo and some other fairly notable Australian films.
The session was a little over my head with a lot of the talk being related to feature film work, it seemed like everyone there except Lee and I was from within the industry. There was a lot of general talk about the advantages and disadvantages of working with HD digital film. There was some interesting stuff about the specifics of how different effects were achieved within their films.
The day has given me a renewed sense of inspiration to attempt to do some short films again. Now I just need to get hold of a video camera.... :(

Ahhh. That's what a HD conference is!
I'm sure you'll have no problems finding a video camera in Japan .. You lucky bastard!
