thoreauberon Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 I have a video blog. On this video blog I make all sorts of posts about a variety of subjects, my most recent video is about Geocaching. It is about 5 minutes long and I think it is a great introduction to the hobby. take a look at it if you want to explain to others what Geocaching is, or if you just want to see what it is like for me! The Video: http://joshleo.blogspot.com/2005/06/geocaching.html Josh Leo, Grand Rapids Michigan Quote
+JMBella Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Really nice job. What kind of cam did you use? Quote
+WizCreations Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Even with cox cable, download time is 45 minutes... please repost when you compress it more. Quote
+*gln Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Very nice. It took about 30 seconds to download. Cable must be was slow. :-) thanks, glenn Quote
+mikeatnight Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 I havent got to watch it yet since Im at work and have no speakers. Took only about 1 minute to download Quote
magellan315 Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 (edited) Have a high speed connection at work, took about 5 minutes to download. Good job, I liked halfway through the nature shots of the flowers and stuff. Edited June 14, 2005 by magellan315 Quote
thoreauberon Posted June 14, 2005 Author Posted June 14, 2005 I'm glad you like it. I use a Sony HC-20 Handycam. Sorry about the large file-size, I compressed it the bes tI could without losing significant amount of quality. Quote
+the hermit crabs Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 That was cute! (No download lags at all -- cable modem at home; it started playing the moment I pressed the start button.) I liked the realism of the mosquito-slap near the beginning of the hike. And all the nature shots were nice. And I even managed not to get motion-sick during the shaky-cam shots (although I almost felt like I was falling off of the log at one point ) So... do you plan to continue wearing sandals while caching in the woods?

+TeamK-9 Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 What kind of editing software were you using? Quote
+TeamK-9 Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 iMovie, it comes free on Mac's I envy you.. I'm stuck with borrowing a friends crappy JVC camcorder and editing on an outdated copy of Adobe Premiere. Quote
+El Diablo Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Nice video! Hopefully everyone learns not to wear sandles while caching in a wooded area. El Diablo Quote
+Icenrye Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Good Job! I like the moving camera shots. Much more interesting then the static shots I alway use in my videozine. Keep them coming! And remember to visit my videozine site. PS. If you're interested, check out archive.org. They host all kinds of media including video. They have incredible bandwidth and if you would like to post high res versions of your videos, that's the place to go. Best of all, there's no cost! Cheers! Quote
+Deneye Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Good job on the flick! Keep them coming! (my old blue & white is jealous!) Quote
+mikeatnight Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Finalay got home to watch... Excellent!!!! Quote
JohnX Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Most excellently done. I laughed at the mosquito bite and the realization you are walking through poison ivy. I congratulate you on your choice of GPSr. Can you guess which unit I have? Quote
+tabulator32 Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Good film clip! Neat editing (fast motion scenes). Quote
+MAG315 Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Very nice composition and soundtrack. Really enjoyed it. Quote
+jjjandrbaker Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Dude! You've got to carry Tecnu in your pocket if you are going to cache in sandals! I haven't gotten a rash since I started using it! Great video. I wish I could have shown it last week when I did 4 sessions on geocaching at a technology conference in San Antonio! Quote
+aerospacecase Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Very cool film. No poison ivy in Southern California... just Poison Oak and Stinging Nettles. I had a part in a documentary about geocaching. Unfortunately, it is not available on the Internet yet. It was done very professionally by students at the USC Film School. See http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...02-ebb51995b988 for more information. A DVD might be released in the future. Quote
+BadAndy Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Props to ya, looks great (except for the ivy). Cable modem here also, started playing right away, no lag. Quote
+ohgr Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Nice job, I'm always looking for cool stuff like this to pass on to Non-Cachers to give them an intro to the sport/hobby. Ohgr Quote
