NIkon D5100 Camera Specs

Manufacturer: Nikon

Model: D5100

I do not own this camera, but I have been looking to buy one for a long time.

It records in full 1080p HD, and the aspect ratio's of recording are as follows:
HD 1,920x1,080 / 30 fps 
HD 1,920x1,080 / 24 fps 
HD 1,280x720 / 30 fps 
HD 1,280x720 / 24 fps 
VGA 640x424 / 30 fps

The camera's highest resolution is 1080p, it uses progressive scanning and the recording format is .mov. It does not come with a lens, so the consumer would choose whatever lens they thought would fit their requirements for a particular shoot.

Last spring break I took a trip with my (ex haha)girlfriend to Mammoth National Cave and spent the week doing "touristy" things and staying in a half star motel. While the details are really unglamorous, I hold this trip as one of the most memorable and fun things I've ever done. I think it would be fun to pick one of the songs that stands out to me from the road trip playlist I made, and make a fast motion "music video" out of home video of us during the trip. While I don't have actual footage, I could do the trip over again by myself or with a friend and actually get the footage and convey the same experience, even though it's not the original trip.

A short PSA promoting what my fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi, does not only as a local chapter, but our national fraternity. It would be a great way to promote what we do and the impact we have on local organizations, our schools clubs and organizations, and other national organizations we work with, such as The Red Cross.

I recently joined a fantasy football league with my fraternity brothers, and it's a whole new breed of friendship comedy. The things that are said and done to get under the skin of our opponents are so inappropriate yet, oddly funny, that I think anyone who doesn't understand the rivalries created within a fantasy football league need to see firsthand to understand. I think a short 3-4 minute comedy bit about 12 friends hanging out on a sunday gameday, tracking their fantasy points and smack talking each other would be super funny, especially if it was a satirical representation of how we treat each other, and we took it one step further until finally someone takes it too far and someone ends up fighting.

I have played in bands since I was 16 years old and music is a huge part of my life. Something that has always been close to my heart is the basement hardcore scene. Basically a community of homeowners who throw shows in their basements. Generally anywhere from 25-100 kids will pack into these basements to see their favorite touring hardcore/punk bands, and the energy at these shows is unreal. I think it would be super informative and interesting to create a documentary showcasing these shows, the kids who attend them, and the bands who play them. The scene is built on community and a relationship built on a common love for hardcore/punk music and it's something very dear to my heart.

I think that there should be a documentary about rapper Jay Z, and honestly it blows my mind there isn't one yet. With a net worth of over $500 million, 50 million albums sold worldwide, and 17 Grammy awards, he is somewhat of a powerhouse in the music industry. But also what is so interesting about him is the theme of mystery he holds in his life. I think it's interesting someone married to Beyonce Knowles is relatively unknown on a certain level. I think it would be interesting to find out more about how he got to where he is, where he came from, and what his plans are for the future.

Spaghetti Western Media Project

I have always loved spaghetti westerns, (the "genre" became popular after US film critics began calling Italian-made westerns "spaghetti westerns"), and came up with a pretty funny idea.  So, it would be a short film that takes place in a "western-esque" setting, and an Italian family moves into the town and wants to open an Italian eatery. But the towns head honcho won't let this happen because, well, this town ain't big enough for the two of them. So in the end, the Italian chef and the ruthless thug must compete in a cook off to see who stays in town.
