Besides the obvious fact I need to learn how to "work" the camera. I'd like to figure out how I can increase the video quality here… Recorded with a Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro for a mac. Recorded into Quicktime or Camtasia for Mac, edited with iMovie and Exported to Vimeo/Viddle/etc as a .MOV file.

What suggestions can you make for equipment, lighting, background, etc. to make this a more professional appearance... besides... "getting rid of the goofy face and look at the camera stupid..."
I'm looking for as high quality video as I can get on a budget. I thought the Logitech looked fine but the framerate, even at 30 FPS seems a bit slow. Ideally I'd like to shoot in HD direct to the mac through firewire and using the audio on the board direct to the mac. Any ideas on a cam that would work for that on a budget?
Thoughts on what can be done to improve this would be greatly appreciated.
If I went from the logitech quickcam vison pro for the Mac to a miniDV would that make a significant difference or would the next logical step be HD?
Do they have to be DV to interface with the Mac via Firewire? I want to use board audio not built in mic and the only thing I seem to find are miniDV that interface that way.
I want the process to be as simple as possible. The fewer steps the better. I don't want to have to import video, etc. Post Prod needs to be simple to. Ideally, shoot with lower thirds in place and upload/convert.
