warhols video camera by friendly-fire
Discussed is the three basic parts to video cameras and how they function. The lens, the imager chip (CCD or otherwise), the A/D converter and the recording mechanism. The recording mechanism could be recording onto analog or digital, but for this conversation, we’re talking about a digital medium.
Also discussed is how light and color really work. For instance, what color is a red ball? The answer might not be as simple as it might seem.
Our theme music is “Understood by Your Dad” by Brad Sucks
