The point of all of this is: how light sensitive is your video
camera? You MAY (though I have not tried it) have to make a very
large pinhole to get a decent exposure. But then again, it could be
just the look you need...who knows?? why not try it? If you already
have the camera, it won't add much cost to slap a homemade pinhole
lens on the front, w/ camera tape or some similar method.
I am experimenting too, let me know how that turns out.
Good luck,
