Two documentaries shot with my camera

My camera is the Canon XH A1, which I found to be the most highly regarded HD camera at its price point by the people who frequent the forums DVIinfo and DVXuser.

I've found a good deal of footage online that was shot using my camera, and here are some really great examples:

"Gabe and Gene"
"The Street Pirate Vasco Mucci"

I love that both of these short documentaries focus on simple stories of people's mostly unremarkable lives. But they tell their story with a great deal of humanity and grace, and turn the mundane into something visual compelling.
