archived-videos Snowy Like

Shaw · Jan 7, 2005

Hey guys,

I went out for a hike yesterday and brought my DVX along. I managed to shoot some semi-decent (read, crappy) snow footage and so I figured I would post an edited version. It was freaking cold out and the tripod head kept sticking due to the cold (this is a fluid head)! It was even cold enough that the viewfinder would fog up just from being around my eye!

Anyway, it's a rough edit of rough footage but I enjoyed shooting it. Premiere also seems to be giving me trouble with crossfades for some reason... not sure why. Anyway, without further excuses for myself

I present the Snowy Like footage:

Snow? What's that? In case you needed a reason to move to Texas, we will be enjoying 70 degree temperatures today.

Poke... I hate you.

John@Bophe · Jan 8, 2005

Will--don't be too jealous of Poke. Ask him again what the weather is like in August!

Nice and Balmy in August thank you very much. Not too bad if you don't mind sweating you nads off.

I do that the half of the year when they're not freezing off.

Shaw · Jan 8, 2005

I hate heat :-/. It just doesn't do anything for me. In fact I'm usually sweating when the temperature approaches 80F. I suppose I'm just weird though.

Beautiful Shaw...nice job.

Glad you liked it Chris

. It's really quite rough around the edges and the pans 100% sucked but it was fun to shoot!

WideShot · Jan 8, 2005

Looks good Shaw, I love nature stuff!

I may shoot some snow stuff here too soon, we'll see. Have to get my viewfinder fixed first.

Shaw · Jan 8, 2005

Thanks WideShot

You should! I'd love to see it! Sorry to hear about the viewfinder! What camera do you use?

Will Vincent · Jan 9, 2005

I'll have some snow stuff fairly soon too, whenever I get all my ducks in a row for my ice fishing short... Of course it'll be in black and white, but whatever.

NicklausLouis · Jan 9, 2005

Anyone want me to get video of the Sun?

Nice shots I like the music choice too.

Will Vincent · Jan 9, 2005

Poke: Yeah, through a telescope.. and make sure you're looking in the viewfinder whilst filming.

Hey Shaw, I would like the see the video. Do you have it in QuickTime format? There is no way I am ever installing Windows Media Player on my PowerBook.

Shaw · Jan 11, 2005

I tried to export a quicktime version the other day but it refuses to work correctly for some reason. I keep getting quicktime errors everytime I try to open the exported movie. I'll give it a try again though as I really need to get quicktime exports working again - I hate WMV as well.
