Any and all thoughts and comments appreciated concerning best gear, worthiness of idea, real world experiences.
Thanks all!

Hello Scott,
There is an excellent how to, not using video cameras though, by Carl Smith on Youtube (Not sure if he's a memeber here, but if so ... Well Done !!!), which is a live video taken of an imaging session of 15 to 30 second single images, that could be used for the sort of thing/outreach you had in mind. The setup is the 1st 9.5 minutes, then imaging.....

JA
P.S: I couldn't find Carl Smith in our member's list, but maybe he is one of the other Carls in that list or some other name. In any event Well Done Carl. Would the real Carl, please stand up?
