Lights - Camera - Action

[roland_trim]

As the number of cameras available to strap to our boats increases, we thought it would be good to set a a place to collect tips and keep a record of things that do and do not work.

Please head http://www.uk-cherub.org/doku.php/videos/tips.

It would be great to collect as much knowledge here as possible, so pleas do add to and edit what is there.

It might also help to say that the rough clips can be posted on You Tube as "Accessed via URL" only for the clips you do not want people to find out of context.

Watching the New Zealand team in Marmite reminds me just how steady that breeze in Santander was.  
Oh, and sprit cam shows the very best bit of Sunday in Evo - there was that little wind for the rest of the day. I'm sure people can do much better... Challenge laid

I will bring a netbook and a multi-card reader. Back home we have a Mac which has good editing software. I've used the software once before when Sam and his mates made a HALO movie so don't expect too much.

If people are happy I will download peoples videos and edit them to produce a short video...might even call it 'The Travelling Thornburys - Cherub open on the Severn' any (Dylan fans out there?)....and does that mean Royal Vic becomes 'Isle of Wight Festival'?

What people outside the class want is action footage on the water. From watching the Santander videos the best shots seem to come from 'Boomcams' (on an extension), on deck (just inboard of the shrouds looking diagonally backwards) and HEADCAMS (I know many feel foolish wearing them but that's only because you DO look stupid...get over it  At least your bum doesn't look big)

When wearing a headcam try to look around sometimes (other boats?) and also get some shots of your crew/helm
