Saturday? Video Day?

[bryanleighty]

Heya...

if the forecast for the stronger SW winds on Saturday hold true I would like to see if any and everyone with a video camera (Mini-DV only) can get out to the beach of choice and record everything they can. I can provide tapes and help give some pointers on how to get the best footage. I want to make a montage video of the local riders.. get St. Pete some exposure out on Kiteforum's kitetv site and maybe kiteflix or something..

With our local riders now hitting the national circuit and tearing it up, its time to put St. Pete on the map.

I hope this to be just a tester video with many more Video taping days to occur in the seasons to come.

My thoughts are.. get at least 3 cameras out to a beach filming the action and the riders just hanging out on the beaches.. film ANYTHING of interest.. get some great footage of the riders.. hopefully with the cameras on the riders will be ON as well. Filmers could carry a small notepad to write down any really important catches and note the time (makes my job A LOT easier later)..

still photos can be incorporated as well. I have a couple friends with high end cameras that will hopefully be involved.

I personally am looking to lay down about 4k on a pro-video camera and probably a grand more for waterproof housing.

Worst part is that I want to ride more than film.. (personal problem I am dealing with)

after filming...i'll collect the tapes and dump to my pc and edit down the best damn video my skillz can muster and see what I can come up with.

Everyone involved will get credit of course.. maybe after a few of these sessions there will be enough to make an hour long (or more) dvd to showcase local riders, riding locations, etc.

Anyone that might want to be involved or could voulunteer a camera, let me know..
