The111 0 #1 February 24, 2006 Ok, here's my PR video. This is my first video made entirely using my own footage. I was going to incorporate footage from some other camera flyers, but I decided against it since (1) it took forever to sort through the footage from just one camera and (2) I was stoked that I actually had this much usable footage from my own camera, and liked the idea of a video that's 100% "mine". Thanks to Omar and Perry for your footage, even though I didn't use it. There was some good stuff in there, and I'm sure everybody will get a chance to see that footage in Omar's longer video.

I've been sick ever since and am consigned to bedrest indefinitely..... The video has cheered me up though! "I know it's friday night, but come on.

The111 0 #13 February 25, 2006 Thanks for the kind words everybody. Kris: I've been swooped by Perry before, and he definitely does some of the closest buzz jobs I've seen but in this video only Scotty, Mike, and Omar swoop me. James: I'm still working on it but I'm getting it right sometimes now. Becca: I had a sinus infection a couple weeks before PR, leftover from Eloy in December. After PR it started coming back and I went on antibiotics for the second time in 2 months, but I'm feeling better now, thanks to those antibiotics.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newshooter12 0 #17 March 2, 2006 nice... thanks for sharing. did you put the letterbox/16:9 look on in camera or in post? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 0 #18 March 3, 2006 Quotenice... thanks for sharing. did you put the letterbox/16:9 look on in camera or in post? Well, the camera shoots in "16:9", but I think Jarno explained in a post somewhere (the photo forum perhaps) that it's not actually 16:9 but just pre-cropped 4:3 footage... i.e. that I'd be better off shooting standard and cropping in post since I'd have more framing options. I won't pretend to know enough about my camera to know if that's true or not. I just shoot with it on the "16:9" setting because it's easier. And the LCD for my camera is 16:9. www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 622 #19 March 3, 2006 Plus we all shoot in 16x9 and it makes sharing video sooo much easier when we all play with the same settings! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
