I’m renowned underground cinematographer Rex Torshin, and I’m here to tell you how your Canon HV20 HD Camcordercan pay for itself in just weeks! All it takes is a few blank MiniDVcassettes, some free time, and access to the wealthy and powerful – orat least a willingness to make your own access. Now, somebody likeSteven Spielberg gets paid because people want to see his movies. Butyou’re going to make the kind of movies that people will pay to ensurenobody ever sees! Here are some tips and tricks for getting started inthe fun, lucrative blackmail industry:
Hypocrisy pays! Is there a public figure in your area who’s always blabbing about how the homosexual agenda threatens to destroy traditional family values? It might be worth your while to follow him into a public men’s room with your Canon HV20 HD Camcorder. When he sees his indiscretions in full HD detail, you’ll be able to name your price.
Let’s party! You’d be surprised how uninhibited some “pillars of the community” can be after a few drinks, when they think they’re in friendly company. If you can’t get invited to the most exclusive local soirees, consider going undercover by taking a job with a catering company. Catch the mayor using the n-word, or one-half of a power couple in the arms of one-half of a different power couple, and all those hours shlepping drinks will be worth it.
Always be camcording! You never know when you might stumble across some high mucky-muck with his pants down, his hand in the till, or both. Light and compact, the HV20 leaves you no excuse for not taking it along everywhere you go. Don’t miss out on the jackpot of a lifetime because you left the Canon HV20 at home.
In darkness, there is gold! Naturally, many of your victim’s most embarrassing moments are likely to occur in darkened rooms. A camcorder with good low-light capabilities can spare you a lot of heartbreak later. Camcorderinfo.com (http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Canon-HV20-Camcorder-Review/Performance.htm) said the Canon HV20 is “a killer in low light” – put its powers to work for you.
Stealth is wealth! It’s hard to snoop on your targets from inside a jail cell. Your first order of business is always: DON’T GET CAUGHT. The HV20’s size makes it easy to conceal. And if you can observe your quarry from afar, its 10x Canon optical zoom with 200x digital zoom will get up close so you don’t have to.
Climb the “ladder of opportunity”! When you shake down your target, consider reducing the payoff in exchange for dirt on other well-connected sickos. Remember, your mark probably knows a lot of rich, powerful people who are just as perverted as he is. And in his vulnerable state, he’s likely to be very open to naming names – after all, misery loves company.
Their shame matters – not yours! Before you can get anywhere in the blackmail game, you have to check your scruples at the door. Concern yourself with what will embarrass others, whether you think their embarrassment is justified or not. You might not care that the town homecoming queen is a bulimic who cuts herself – but her parents probably do!
If they can pay once, they can pay again! You told your victim that all she had to do was make one payment and this would all go away. So what? Remember, you’re not playing by their rules anymore. Just make multiple copies of your footage and keep them somewhere safe, and it’s like having your own personal ATM machine with no withdrawal limits. What’s she going to do? Sue you?
Finally, don’t skimp! Your camcorder is as important to you as the hammer is to the carpenter, as the putter is to the golf pro, as the shuriken is to the ninja. Think of your camcorder as an investment in your future. A mediocre camcorder will produce mediocre images. Why not opt for the New York Times’ Best Camcorder of 2007? The crisp, high-res picture of the Canon HV20 will leave no room to doubt exactly who is doing exactly what. As we say in the business, “The higher the resolution, the higher the renumeration!”
