slippery!

The music is even better on the unicyclists version (stereo) with
headphones. It bounces back and forth from left to right ear.
I was going to use a ballad, to emphasis the beauty of the trail and
commoradory of the people. But this song better matched my fast camera
pans and editting style.

We're blessed/cursed with some of the most technical muni trails
anywhere.
They're always wet/slippery. I'm glad that came across in the video.
I joked that we should grease the logs

Salvation.wmv is 24 MB... about typical for my 4 minute videos. If I
compress more, Movie Maker drops it to 320x240. It can be slow, if not
impossible, to download when the internet is busy (evenings).
There are ways to get a direct link... this is it for Salvation

Then in media player, use File-Save As. In media player 11, right
click on the title bar to get the menu.

Youtube (low quality) version should work.

Hey, its got 5 stars! Cool.

As an experiment, I've done a high definition version, using Vista
Ultimate's version of Windows Movie Maker.
Its 231 MB(!) so I dont think I can/should post it.

I'm just using a compact Canon SD700 IS, which is 640x480. So the
highdef mainly benefits the photos & text. But the video part also has
fewer artifacts.

Canon just announced a pretty sweet high def digital video camera

Your feedback is welcome/encouraged. I'd like to discuss and learn how
to make better videos. What did you like the most/least? What would
you like to see more of? Did you like this video (Salvation) or
Deepcove more? Why?

They looked a lot more slippery in person, I think Frank put the video
through some kind of filter to make them look less slick.

So true! ... if anyone is coming through Vancouver, or looking to do
a trip somewhere to ride be sure to drop us a line. Things are always
steeper, more slippery and fun to ride in person ..

That looks very interesting, but sounds a little too good to be true.
HD video on an SD memory card? The only way for that to work is if you
compress the crap out of it. So in a sense it's not true HD, even at
720p. I'd wait for DP Review or Steves Digicams to review it before
purchasing....
