inspired by Tamsen on here by setting up her youtube channel, (good vids btw and I have subbed), decided to start actually doing something with mine.
Uploading some videos from gigs/festivals that some of you may like and obviously bike rides :D I'm just starting at the editing so bare with me on it.
Whats your thoughts on positioning of camera's etc? What angles do you like watching video's from? I was thinking of getting a mount for the mirror bars as the countours are a little weird with the fitting? Doo tell.
Heres the latest vid (allot of the footage is from LOM's GoPro behind me, and mixed with my own). The temptation is that this is the Kinlochleven loop going to the hotel for the GM.

Personally I find the split screen bit a distraction.
Camera angle is good.
Have seen vids from the camera in the fairing showing the front wheel and road that looked good if done correctly.
Either music or more motor noise or both.
Someones always going to knock the tune you've selected but most I know just turn the sound and listen to their own fav's if they don't like yours.
Just my 2 pence.
Keep up the good work I like your bike vids. :thumbsup:

I was thinking of the angle from the fairing under the wheel.. tempted but abit iffy as I know my luck, ill loose the camera, run over it, come flying off... and after all that... I wont have turned it on so I wont have captured my graceful dismount.
I may just switch from angle to angle rather that PIP now, it was just abit of a play to see how to do it. i do like it and I think its good when the bike is close from behind and you can see the lean, but sometimes I think the angle is wide. I think LOM wanted to try a narrow angle next time to see what we get.
I'm going to try and turn up the sensitivity on my camera for the internal MIC and see If I can get any sound out of it, just is so low and muted its horrible
Glad you like them :)
just had a look at my footage and we are both the exact same times from the road junction to the hotel. only difference is its absolutely slashing down with rain on mine.
yes yes i'm sad.....
Bang up a direct link for us too lazy to fire up the pc and use the driod tablet bunch.

oh yeah way faster ;-). you can get the practice in during the GM.
I'm thinking about heading up early Saturday to see Mark and Helen (& do a few laps) so I should be able to get you some footage.
i'll say 8min for dynamodean.
Oooh challenge! Probably end up with me putting myself in the Loch!
Swaffle your first video inspired me and I did the road along Loch Earn and through St Fillans on Saturday, didn't have a camera though. Which reminds me I really need to get my go pro attached to the bike somewhere.
Dean I might be up for a run Saturday if you want company (attach usual weather condition here!), Sunday is meant to be the better day mind.

The idea was leave at SCARY early. So I can get up to the Hotel for 10 am at the latest.
Richy, I was gonna post my first video on here but I don't think its good enough to justify it. If Alan does come with me I'll do my best to keep up with him and that new bike of his. So hopefully get you some footage of us on the Scotsburgring :)

I think thats a bit quick TBH, that would be averaging over 60 the whole way..
12min in the pizzing so it should be about 8-9 dry. its the north side road.

Hmm I do love the north side. I'll check at the weekend then...

If the weather looks good I can do silly early!
Ha I will let you lead and try to keep up. Someone on an r6 rinsed me on Saturday, though to be fair I think they were trying a lot harder and their overtakes were scandalous!

swishness, I must admit, I'm jealous that your up there again, itching to be there!

It was amazing, the route that dean's done is fantastic.. going around loch earn... LOM's better half described me as and I quote "letting a dog off the leash..... gone!" I'd love to see the footage of you guys doing places, need to see what I can do better to improve.
i have 95gig of north scottish roads sitting on my drive. i dont know how to edit it or upload it. its a bit shaky anyhoo.

Nice one Mal, little fella can really move :) Them all your ride videos?
Haha Bibs you're magnificently special too ;)
thats me bimbling and still getting the feel for a brand new tyre. pretty much my normal sunday ride pace though. you should be more impressed at Malc for hustling that big bus of his 2 up and keeping up.

Mals back must of been covered in small fist shaped bruises at the end of that ride then ;)

04-06-15, 07:51 PM
Nah she was fine:D. But I have had my fun adjusted on occasion;).
think i have got this right. 8.7 miles in 10min = 52mph avg?
littleoldman2
04-06-15, 07:54 PM
Captain sensible then:p
BTW thats .1 mile a difference to the kinlochleven north side road.

04-06-15, 09:03 PM
Are we all going to be posting videos now?
littleoldman2
04-06-15, 09:07 PM
Yep pictures are soooo last year darling.
ok i think i'l calculating distance, speed, time wrong.
i'm taking the distance multiplying by 60 then dividing by the min... so lets say 8 miles x 60 / 5min = 96mph?
Just put my go pro on charge! Haha

Ah go one then, this is my very first attempt at making a video. is more a test of where I want to put the camera. I've been asking lots of questions as always.
Dean you're a machine!
Actually just watched my footage from the Glengarry road heading up to Applecross last year. Might try and upload that, just a shame you can see my speedo at parts :p
