+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Hello there, I am interested in knowing about how folks are promoting their interest in GEOcaching on their personal websites? I made a quick film which was fun to do -- I need to add some music, but I think it captures the experience of my daughters enthusiasm. My GEOcaching Film Quote Link to comment
+Gaddiel Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 (edited) It was great watching Maddie's excitement. That's one of the neatest things that we get our of geocaching. We have a 3-year-old daughter and she gets excited every time she finds one. I get rewarded with "Wow!" and "Look, Daddy, look!!!" and "Open it, open it!!!"... Thanks for catching this excitement on video! Edited November 22, 2004 by Gaddiel and OrangeDanish Quote Link to comment
+Cache Rabbits Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Very cool. The addition of music would be perfect Quote Link to comment
+Shalimarjim Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Maddy is a winner. Nice job on your movie. Quote Link to comment

I'm a die-hard PC user and don't have Quicktime. Sorry. Quote Link to comment
+Medic005 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 This makes for some great memories! I have a 2 y/o and 4 y/o that I take with me, geocaching, it's great to experience the fun and joy through a childs eyes. Quote Link to comment
+zoltig Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Siskel and Ebert give it two thumbs, WAY UP!! That's way cool ! Jeremy did a movie that was in the Northwest forums (thanks to NBJPoppa he linked it to me) that was superbly done, I thought. "J. dog", how about it! Show the flick. Quote Link to comment
+BeachBuddies Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I have QuickTime, but it didn't work for me either. I could see the control bar, but no movie.. I guess I have to upgrade something? Quote Link to comment
MMACH 5 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 That's totally cool. It's been a few years since we've had one that young in our house. Maddy is just too precious. Her excitement and appreciation of the whole experience is really wonderful to see. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 That was super!!! Just love the excitement. Now that my grandkids moved back to town, I'm going to have to dust off the camcorder (or buy a new fancy one!) Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hey! Thanks for the nice comments! How about some links to some other websites of photos, films and the like? Promoting GEOcaching is a great way to keep the hobby healthy (I think). For those having challenges viewing the film -- you can get a free download of QuickTime at www.apple.com I use Linux, XP as well as my Apples to create the content (I'm a self-confessed computer geek and actually train folks on how to use them). The only problem I've had is on Linux systems. However, it's also a rather large film and if you are on dial-up that could effect your ability to get the film. Thanks again everyone -- Maddy and I continue to hunt and place caches and hope that you will visit our caches if you are in the area! Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I hate quicktime and refuse to install it, but was able to watch it on my partner's computer. Cute little video. Maddy is adorable! Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Now why can't I see this? I have Quicktime and when I click on the link it tells me I need to install Quicktime. When I try to install Quicktime it tells me its already there . THen I get a page that says "here's the show", but nada. Quote Link to comment
+joefrog Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 How about a link where we can download it direct? Quote Link to comment
+Doggiewoggie Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Couldn't see it... it made Firefox crash (first time it's ever happened to me...) I've got Quicktime, though Quote Link to comment
+Team Perrito Blanco Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 VERY cute. Nice film. Can't wait to get my daughters out! Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Sorry to the folks that can't see the film. I did test it on Firefox (Apple and XP), IE 6 (Apple and XP) and Safari (only on Apple's). The reason I am using QuickTime is that it allows me to put in hints for the streaming server that hosts it. This allows it to stream rather than have to download in it's entirety (it's about 13MB in size). Providing a download link would not help if your QuickTime isn't working (or if it isn't installed). If you did want to install QuickTime (personally I find it very nice) then www.apple.com is the place to find it. You may want to "uncheck" the subscription boxes if you don't want them sending you updates, etc) It should be a single download. At any rate, I hope to make a more polished GEOcaching film and may offer that in two formats - QuickTime and Windows Media. Maddie is very excited about the fact that so many people have gone "geo-caching with her". Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Very, very cute.. My favorite part is: "IT'S ALL MINE!" Quote Link to comment

Oh, it WORKS on my mac, but I would rather be able to watch at my leisure (read: be able to pause if the boss comes in). The way it's set up, I can't control it! Quote Link to comment
+G'n,G Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I liked the film. You should put some special effects or something in it for a twist. Quote Link to comment
