Vic: Running Down a Red - Kayak Snapper Madness

[Rhino]

This week went nuts in PPB. Snapper everywhere and hungry. Two and three rods going off at once and many fish released to fight another day.

This first video is the first trip of three incredible ones.

The second is the 3rd trip and is just raw footage without the bells and whistles. Be warned that there is some strong language.

Fullscreen is always best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz3Yx8yCZqk

That first part of the first video, I absolutely loved. The words and music was spot on.
The rest of your videos were top notch as well and your choice of music matches so well.

Can I ask what cameras you are using and is it home editing your using?

Rhino - fantastic video. I am jealous of your iMovie expertise. I have dabbled with it a little but am nowhere near your skill level. Did you teach yourself using the Apple tutorials or is there another source for learning how to use iMovie?

I pose the question to Red as well - your last effort was great as well - particularly liked the footage captured from Google earth & would love to learn how to do that.

Thanks for the comments boys. I have just woken after trying to catch up on some lost sleep. Theres been some hards yards this week. One final crack at it tomorrow before going back to work for a 3 day rest. Then two more weeks off.

Baz, they weren't all released. I did keep a feed.
Paul, the cameras are HD GoPros and I'm using iMovie on the Mac.
Gary, mostly self taught, with some help from a teenage daughter, youtube clips and tutorials. There is so much more that can be done, but I keep it pretty simple. The upload to youtube takes longer than the editing process.

I use something called 'kdenlive'.. a tiny bit like iMovie; very powerful, but nowhere near as polished.
There's a mac port here: www.macports.org if want to play with it (but I'd recommend sticking with iMovie if you have access to it).

For the Google earth stuff, I use a desktop recorder program.

I create an invisible 'pin' at the spot / height that I want to end up at, zoom out, then activate a desktop recorder. The one I use is only available on linux, but here's a free one that should be pretty similar for windows:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/camstudio/

Dunno about Mac unfortunately - have a look at screenium, screenrecord, or similar; those names popped up a bit when I did a brief google check.

Then it's just a matter of activating the recorder, then double-clicking on your push-pin link.
Once that's done, use your video editing software to 'crop' the resulting video to cut out the google earth side/top/bottom bits.
