Sundown Bump or Bust III - 3/22/09

[2knees]

Jeff - next time use my camera... :roll:

:razz:

does your camera have a stability thing with it? i've noticed on mine that even when i'm barely moving, the vid comes out shaky. i dont think there is any stabilization built in. Even i take steadier video with your camera.

 

[Greg]

After watching SkiDork's vid, I'm pretty happy with my skiing. Neither Shannon nor Bart totally blew me away and I consider them both far more accomplished bump skiers than me. I thought my turns were pretty clean and speed is getting there. Need to work on the airs. Goal is to bring a solid twister-spread to next spring's Bump or Bust.

I use the 10X all the time and if I hold it with two hands, I can keep the shakiness to a minimum. I usually use the zoom pretty liberally and only back out once the skier has filled the entire frame. An HD cam is in the not too distant future, I think.

If Torrington wasn't so far a drive, I'd offer to stop by with an external hard drive to pick up the raw footage.

I'll admit I'm itching to see the footage, but I've really got no right to complain given that you guys do all the work. So I'll just sit back, try to be patient, and be thankful when it eventually comes out.

I've watched most of the raw footage, I don't think he got your qualifying run. He was having a hard time figuring out who was who.

I should have a chance to work on a it a bit later tonight, the footage is going to be very similar to skidork's, since they were both shot from the same place.

I may end up doing a more abbreviated version, instead of full runs, since dork has that covered well.

 

[Greg]

OK, here's all my raw footage. Its 30 mins long. If anyone feels like it, I numered each run, If you recognize anyone just reply with who they are and the number of the run. Thanks.

:razz:

I thought Jeff was competing next time?

 

[SkiDork]

yeah, no problem moving the vid somewhere else.

AFA stabilization, I use a monopod because I found I couldn't follow the action well enough with the tripod. But I have to concentrate VERY hard on keeping it still, especially when I'm zoomed.

If anyone would like, I can recreate that at a higher resolution, it would probably end up being somewhere between 1/2 to 1 gig. Let me know if there's any interest, or even a subset. Since my camera is high def the originals are very high resolution and nice to look at.

Yeah, definitely. I could host that and provide it on a request basis.

 

[bvibert]

I'm interested in seeing it in high res too.

 

[SkiDork]

OK, high res it is.

I'll make it the same res as vimeo needs to stream in high def. (but it would be bigger than 500MB which is why I can't put it up on vimeo) :-(

Question: Should I just keep the audio the way it is, or should I wipe out the sound and replace it with music?

I would like to see a high res version of exactly what you did. That's just me. Do what you want.

Thats fine - it's easier that way!

I'll have it ready by tonight.

Same here.

 

[SkiDork]

oh, of course I'll put in whatever captions you've given me instead of the numbers..

Brian - I was disappointed I got so little of your run. Sorry about that.

And mondeo - same with your run, I didn't get any of it.

Plus others...

I needed my runsheet!

 

[gmcunni]

Did the Ski Sundown crew take video like last time?

:lol: you got half of my losing run!

seriously though, thanks for that. cool to watch regardless.

yup, jarrod said he would have it up at some point.

If you didn't have those two bobbles, it would have been really close. He probably would have still gotten it given the 3's, but your skiing/speed was right with him. Again, doing that well against a 23 year old 3 seed was pretty damn impressive.

 

[gmcunni]

yup, jarrod said he would have it up at some point.

i bet jarrod is done before brian! :razz:
