I have to admit – when Lady Gaga appeared the first time I kind of hated her, I just didn’t want to have anything to do with her. Even though she was trying to get my attention anyway she could.

Not too long ago she finally got me to listen to “Just Dance” and ever since she got me hooked. Then “Bad Romance”  and I thought … Yeah I get Lady Gaga, she is Sau Cool ( for German, swine cool … which is a good thing).

Already liked Telephone from her latest album which she recorded with Beyonce but that video ROCKS so hard you might have to watch it more than once.

I’m absolute GAGA-GEIL (an other German expression (geil stands for being hot for someone)

From the Album: The Fame Monster

Ha ha! Light Bulbs are fun, especially if they are put together by the millions! WTF? You probably guessed it right, these insane street lights have something to do with Fallas. And just seeing these is worth a trip for Fallas in Valencia.

OMG! Ever wondered how a 2 ton firework might look like? Don’t wonder any longer and watch this video I took yesterday of this rather unique firework called Mascletà which is part of Fallas here in Valencia. I shot this video my new Sanyo VPC CS1 (which I’m really happy with) but at the end it had problem to figure out the sounds. It was just too much.

Watch it here: Mascletà Napolitana

Here some pics:

This truck is feeling funky too? Awesome light and music projection.

This tiny camcorder feels great and is super light but almost too light. Not sure how well it looks after it slipped out of my hand and hit the ground for the first time.

I still need time to get used to all functions and need to find the best way to edit and convert it, so I can get the max quality image quality out of the videos.

Below video I shot in 1920×1080 full HD recording 60 frames per second. This should enable me to take some decent slow motion footage as well. But let’s see.

Enjoy our little French Bulldog “Chucky” and right after I gave the macro focusing setting a try:

Going to take it with me tomorrow to film a Mascletà, to see how well it will balance the sound.

So far this tiny HD camera gets two thumbs up.

Fallas official started yesterday and I’m already out of it! But before I post some of the highlights I got some good news to share. I managed to a sponsor for Fallas so I could buy the Canon 7d and the brand new  and very sexy Sanyo VPC – CS1 (should arrive tomorrow).

So this post is to  say sorry that there will not too many posts RGS in the next couple of days and to show off some videos I shot with the Canon 7d (there will be links leading you to a post where you can see pictures I took with the 7d)

First off a video of the color Mascletà shot with Kodak M1033 in HD (for comparison):

Now the most world’s most annoying alarm clock – Despertà 2010 (shot with the Canon 7d):

First Mascletà of Fallas 2010 (also shot with the 7d at better light conditions):

The videos are still very jumpy due my old CF Card which is to slow but the new faster card is on the way. Also, since the Canon is pretty heavy and bulky I will be using the Sanyo for every day shots and the Canon when I use oh la la arty videos (from a tripod). I just can’t see myself carrying around a tripod all day long.

What do you think of the video quality of the Canon 7d ? As soon as the Sanyo arrives I will be posting an example video of the VPC – CS1.

If you get bore and want to know what I’m up to follow our Valencia Blog – tons of fun videos, pictures and crazy stories from Fallas in Valencia.
