Cheers for the comments guys, will try and address a couple before i go for a ride!
although I’d ditch the cheesy transition effects and maybe include a less helmet cam footage
Yeah, the helmet cam section was too long, but without enough single features to highlight, i got stuck for footage in the editing. I was just messing with the transitions, thats why i don’t use them every time.
Did you have a second rider to pick up the camera after your passing shots or have to turn around and go back again – bit of a faff?
Correct, faff central, especially for longer range shots. 3min files cut down for 10sec of action 😥
Well you managed to convey all the thrills and excitement of xc right there. Music I thought was especially apt.
I think the first one tells the best “story”.
…and when I saw the camera at the end of the 2nd vid! Terific work.
Took and afternoon each, and an evening editing/posting to the net. Camera is a Powershot A95 i think. Does 30fps video so thats good enough!
I’m too broke to buy any new gear.
