Super low tech method ... I mount my digital camera (canon) to a cheap
tripod, line it up, try and get it to focus and then press record ...

If I'm going for a natural camera shake effect I might skip the tripod.

If I'm going for a, "hey I just happened to see this cool thing and pulled
out my cell phone" effect I might pull out my cell phone ... but it takes
really really crappy over compressed movies (and I think a big part of it's
compression scheme is to drop tons of frames.)

I've played around with ffmpeg and other desktop capture tools, but I must
not have a very powerful machine and all these software techniques kill my
frame rates.
