My first attempt at filming and editing. Youtube kills the quality, it looks way better on the original. Ready to kill "MovieMaker", it can't keep track of the time properly, oh well its free.
This was the morning of Kus' encounter with the Black Hole windkiller machine! As you can see, it left just enough wind for a pleasant session, no waverides or loops.

Tried to add a link to the chat, but it wouldn't take it multiple times, different computers. Oh well.
http://jimbodouglass.blogspot.com/ has featured my Kona vid on his blog this week. For anyone who doesn't know it, its a great mix of thoughts and eye-candy on windsurfing, kiting, environmental concerns, humour, and science.
He has low standards, however, as he thought my video was 'awesome'

Nice clip, good edit, the board looks like it belongs in real WARM water tho 
If you're wondering what that foggy sort of region just off the front of the board and over it and close to the mast , and the camera....my theory is this... if you see people doing pro film shoots or movies, they are often holding up big pieces of material near the subject...it intensifies the light in the area of the subject.
Well, being that close to a windsurf sail is like a huge version of that, and it will create a kind of glare effect, and this can then be reinterpreted by the edit and compression program, into a sort of fog.
BWD's cam and yours are both better than mine at dealing with it, due to the lens and casing etc...but i'm hopin to fix it on mine and see some nice stuff.
Is that all clear

Tx, Huevos! I think the main foggy area was where a splash hit, lower right on the lens, but it stays pretty muzzy. I think you're right, the compression really hits this. Have to try out the cam on a nice sunny day, too, that would probably improve the quality with a faster shutter or smaller aperture. Can't figure out Daves VV site yet for better quality uploads (there's porn, though, if you scroll through the recent additions, must be how Dave found it first! :-)

Shocking
Ha, yeah I guess there is some nudity on there. And yes I'm shocked too. I had no idea that this sort of thing existed on the internet.more force 4 wrote:Can't figure out Daves VV site yet for better quality uploads (there's porn, though, if you scroll through the recent additions, must be how Dave found it first! :-)
I think you will find similar stuff if you look at recent vid's from YouTube, although they seem to be quicker at taking them down. It was the GoPro guys that suggested I try vsocial because of the better quality: http://gopro.vsocial.com/#
