How to sneak a video camera into North Korea: 

Filming in North Korea is a bit of an iffy task, and you never know when a minder may decide to confiscate your memory cards or camera. That was a risk I didn’t want to take, so I decided not to reveal to them the fact that my 5D was capable of shooting video.  I taped up the back screen with black electrical tape.

Hope there are no ramifications for the various subjects, especially the hairdresser.
