</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"><Multiple cameras will help. See if you can get tape from other parents from different angles. I will often recruit and "coach" other parents prior to school events. Suggest areas they can emphasize as per Brian and DO offer them Brian's advice "When you move the camera, move it slowly and carefully. Don't go nuts with the zooming, panning and scanning, you'll make viewers seasick." Encourage the use of tripods.><BR>

A wireless mike set in front of a speaker may also be advantageous. Sound for those addressing the graduation is important. You can always cover other areas with background music. In my son's video, a background of music blended with the reading of the names of graduates was very effective. <BR>

Good luck,<BR>
