Forget 3D try 4D

A couple of days ago I tried out a 4D cinema and I'm gonna get straight to the point it was amazing. It really was a big step up from normal 3D cinemas. For those of you who have no idea of what I'm talking about, it's basically an advance on 3D cinemas that's starting to become a popular attraction in major cities:London,Birmingham and Manchester.It involves moving seats air blown in your face, strobe lighting and water splashed at you in time with the film.I went to the newly opened one at the museum of science and industry in Manchester. The short film I watched was animated and it started off with a robbery scene. Everytime the character was hit the whole chair shook violently for like a sec and it was like having a massive personal subwoofer. Obviously the thing that got everyone buzzin was the water and it happens when the character jumps in a puddle or something and little holes in the chair in front squirt water at you and it really adds to the effect. Also the strobe lightS came intO play when there was lighting in the film they flash very brightly with the crack of thunder. So I highly recommend going to one if possible or you can check out their website .

What camera to buy?

I've been saving up and I am planning to purchase a camcorder before the summer. I need something with good enough quality I.e hd but not too expensive. After searching for a long time I found one panasonic sd900 it is selling at £704.90 currently but is well worth it. It is full hd 50fps has a manual focus ring, is 3D ready and the quality has been described as the nearest consumers can get to broadcast quality. Let me know your thought and if anyone else has some suggestions. If you already own or have used this camera please comment below letting me know.
