Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

i'll bring the footage of me doing that road in the pizzing wet ;)

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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:

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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 :)

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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.....

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Bang up a direct link for us too lazy to fire up the pc and use the driod tablet bunch.
(no flash in hear)...

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Click on the red bit at the top that says youtube video and it opens the tube video on android stuff HTH :)

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Oh you learn something new every day :)

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

does that mean, I should have a faster time in the dry? :D have to give that a go hahaha!

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

i'll say 8min for dynamodean.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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 :)

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

I think thats a bit quick TBH, that would be averaging over 60 the whole way..

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

12min in the pizzing so it should be about 8-9 dry. its the north side road.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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!

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Cud help u out if your wanting to do something with it.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

might bring it down next time i'm at Malcs

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Get it shared, i would happily watch Bibio the road movie :)

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Plz dooo.

Shhh dnt tell bibio ...I'm going to add Michael Bay Effects to his footage :) it will be a box office hit!

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Hey swaffle, the Bibster is a magnificent sexy mofo so no special effects needed :notworthy: :smt060

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

i never knew you were filming.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

there sorted for you

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Nice one Mal, little fella can really move :) Them all your ride videos?

Haha Bibs you're magnificently special too ;)

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Nah she was fine:D. But I have had my fun adjusted on occasion;).

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

think i have got this right. 8.7 miles in 10min = 52mph avg?

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Captain sensible then:p

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

BTW thats .1 mile a difference to the kinlochleven north side road.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Are we all going to be posting videos now?

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Yep pictures are soooo last year darling.

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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?

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

Just put my go pro on charge! Haha

Re: Youtube, and a bit of temptation
 

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.
