Seriously. If you go to the beach, do you really need 20 minutes of your kids feeding the birds? It will only be a thirty-second clip in the final video. Remember that. Get two minutes of the kids, then move on to the surrounding area. If something fantastic happens, by all means have your camera at the ready. But remember, it only takes a second to press record. It could take you hours in the editing room to sift through all the stuff you shot if you don't choose wisely.
