*OFFICIAL GOPRO THREAD*

Probably not doable before Saturday. It takes a few days for the battery eliminator to ship from Camdo, unless you want to spend the money on expedited shipping.

 

Yeah no. Haha. I guess I'll only film part of the event

 

If you have the skeleton back, just plug a USB cable in. You can charge the camera while you run it.
Edit: as long as it's not the USB port on a computer.

 

How? The USB port is on the side of the camera

 

Use the frame mount.

 

Don't have it. I guess I'm just out of luck with the equipment I have

 

Some of this was shot with a GoPro 2.

Oh man.

I don't have a camera/housing nearby but I wonder if you could make it work with a 90° connector? I'll look and see if there might be a way.

The for sure way would be Amazon Prime tho

 

Always nice to see my products being used. Thanks for the share.

 

They've done me well! First few times I slammed down on them I was afraid but now I completely trust them and not a worry in the world.

 

QUOTE=ian408;8917447]This is true.

Memory card capacity and type factor in. A speed class 10 card is required to do this. Also, you need to decide if you want to change cards while shooting. Otherwise, at 1s intervals, the timelapse will require 98G of space. Slightly more than the 64G he has to work with.


Charge the camera into the USB port or use a battery eliminator.[/QUOTE]



He should have a class 10 in it anyway. To make the best time lapse he can he either needs to spend some serious money and buy a bigger card and a battery eliminator. Unless he wants to do that it would be better to get the majority of the race and make a really good looking time lapse even if it doesnt cover the entire thing. At least that is what I would do.

 

big difference between the 3 and 3+?

 

Never used a 3 but is the difference WiFi remote capabilities? I'm not sure... I know the 3+ black is friggin awesome though

 

Both the 3 and 3+ have WiFi, the differences are that the + has a sharper lens, longer lasting battery, smaller size, and a few extra settings(superview). I have two Hero 3 black editions and they're still great cameras. My friend has a 3+ and I can notice a difference in quality even at the same modes.

 

Gotcha. I gotta work on spending more time on mine lol. They are getting to be cut together well and flow well, but I'm just not putting the time in to give them that next level look. I liked a lot of the sequences in your video, that's the shit I need to work on.

Sifting though footage to find the best clips always takes the most time
When you go through initially do you watch each video, find the segments that are edit worthy and start putting them down, or did you like plan out the video to begin with and knew what shots you wanted in kinda what order?

 

To make a decent 3-4 minute video, you might need an hour or two of raw footage to get the different shots to give you the segments for the piece. Some beauty shots, establishing shots, action, and so on. I never realized how much was required until I made some public service kinds of videos with hours of raw footage for three versions of something that was 30s long, a minute, and a minute thirty long-for this kind of work, you need to plan how you will tell the story and to help you get all of your shots. For something that's gonna be a record of your trip, maybe less of a plan. Just remember to capture lots of b-roll to use when tying things together. So if you're weekend wheeling and camping, some shots of scenery, camp, airing down, driving down the trail, obstacles, etc.. When you record your shots, panning from left and right and right to left to gives you natural transitions. Try to think about giving yourself at least 10s of video for each clip. If you're you pan, hold steady at the beginning and end for more options editing.

In some ways, it's a lot easier to think about having variety in clips for editing later. And shoot way more than you think you'll need.

"How to Make a Sick Edit" is definitely tongue in cheek but it does give you a lot of hints about what makes a good video.

 

What he said.

As far as my technique, I usually first go through all the clips and set In/Out points for the good/usable ones. After doing that I'll then start placing on the timeline. You definitely need to "plan" your story/what you want to show, but I've been surprised how many times what I had in my head didn't quite work out and it evolves into something I'm still happy with.

 

I watch every clip and pick selected points and write them down with a small description. Then cut them down into those clips and start moving them around.

Wheeling trips or travel is easy as far as timeline since I just follow the same order of events as the trip.

 

Messing around with the time lapse photo feature the other day.
