Nice!
You'll have plenty of fun shooting, but I love editing after. That gives me lots of pleasure.
I can't justify FC Pro, but I may get FC Express and possibly
THIS.Pan slowly, don't zoom too much (I need to work on this one), get close, shoot plenty of cut-aways...have fun!
When editing, go easy on transitions, don't over do it with clichés or too many different types in one video. Stick with 'straight cuts', dissolves, fades and overlaps. You don't see too many radial wipes or barndoor transitions in films unless they're called for. A radial wipe, used quite often to indicate the passing of time can just as well be done by a slow fade-out followed by a fade-in (unless you need to indicate speed or maintain the pace of the video). "Pushes" or iris transitions are better suited for PowerPoint presentations and not your videos.
