I live above a bakery in Brooklyn, so there are enough mice to keep my cat plenty busy. She’s caught 3 in the past week, usually bringing them into my room and setting them at my feet. This time I heard her playing with something in the kitchen, and came in to find this. I’m pretty sure she was showing off.

I don’t want to embed this video here because you won’t be able to see it’s true glory. First footage shot with my new Canon HV20.

Go to the link and blow it up full-screen by clicking the Full-Screen button in the bottom-right of the video.

Pretentious notes for videotards: Shot at night, so there are some artefacts from compression, and the built-in deinterlacer in Premiere CS3 doesn’t cut it. But damn, it still looks rool good. Canon HV20 w/52mm wide-angle lens, HD 1080i Cinemode, 1280×720 at 29.97fps, h.264 around 3mpbs average. No idea what Vimeo chops it down to for their Flash player, but they don’t take much off. Looks damn close to the original source.
