NOTES:
I was messing around with the movie mode just after getting a power cable for my camera when I had the idea for this scene. These nine seconds of film took half an hour to shoot, for which I can only blame my temperamental star, Anubis. It's a simple effect, consisting of two shots edited together using ArcSoft Video Impression: the first shot was of the cat washing, the second of the cushion she was sitting on. To make the transition seamless I mounted the camera on a tripod first. If I learnt anything from making this clip, it's that the camera's digital zoom only works at the expense of a clear focus. I have no idea why it seems to zoom out sharply right at the start. It wasn't like that before I saved it.
