The result is video that's "choppy" but acceptable for just shooting something for family or friends.
Should I even bother? The little ones ive done so far don't look as horrible as i figured they would.
Hey, if it looks good to you, then do it! If it's video you plan on releasing to the public, just understand that if it's too choppy or low-resolution, you're going to catch flak.

Hope that helps.
