Very cool!
Now I see the loops.
Is it me or is that footage a little less bouncy?

New video from Gordons on 7/7/7

Post by bwd »

Here's a new one from Gordon's yesterday (July 7 2007), as seen through the eyes of Winddoctor. It sure gets me pumped up to try more things when I'm sailing. And yes I could have cut out the time spent frolicking on the beach but I thought it has artistic merit :wink: Can't wait for other people to wear the helmet cam, especially on the Oregon Coast trip. Let me know if you want to try it out, preferably someone that I can trade helmets with so I don't bruise my melon. If you are wondering about the music then see dunkinguys post.

Here is the downloadable version (a bit higher quality). Download it to your computer first (right click, Save As) and then play it for best results: Gordons July 7 2007.wmv (24 MB)

thanks, yep i slowed down morewinds loop since in normal speed it was so fast. The raw files are 512x384 avi files and i convert them to 320x240 wmv files. The originals look a lot better than the compressed files but they are huge. Winddoc's 20 min session was about 850 MB.

Columbia Dec 16 2007

Post by bwd »

From CB last Sunday. The cam was pointed too low so it mostly shot water, but I did manage to scrape 3 minutes out of the hour of footage. I ordered a proper helmet mount and a wide angle lens so hopefully things will improve when they arrive. It should make it easier to lend out the cam (thanks to Winddoctor for the spare Gath helmet 8)).

Sorry for the non PG friendly hissy-fit language in Dave's vid. If you listen closely, you can hear me yell "Huck!" :oops: Nice vid as always Dave!
