Video Footage from Elvington

Is it just me or does nothing do your head in more than being subjected to someone elses dubious taste in music?

It's not just you..

However.. for comedy effect, The Blue Danube would be quite comical - especially if there are any slow-mo spins going on (Of course, for me, The Blue Danube brings back memories of the docking process in Elite.. )

Any suggestions for tunes to set it all to? Virtigo by U2 is what I'm currently thinking - I'm not a big U2 fan, but its a good tune for trackday footage ..

NO TUNES..

HTH

Either that, or someone's barely audible inane ramblings on camera - I'd prefer music

I'll probably do a couple of versions of the video clips, one with 'orignial' audio and one with music, maybe just mixed into the background so you can still hear what's going on.

Something I could do with some feedback on - should I do the clip in high res only - and how long should the clip be?

Currently, I've got some footage from the paddock and cars driving past the pitlane (Ta Dale) and then footage I've taken - following other cars, exiting the pitlane, and gooning around.

How I was thinking of making up the clip was to start with stuff in the paddock, maybe mix in some of the stills that people have taken (Mark, Michael - would be in the credits at the end) and then end up with some mixed clips from the track - entering the track, following others on track, bits of goonage (mine and others!), and basically make it as long as the music track - so about 3-4 minutes.

This would make it between 15 and 20MB to download - is that too big?

I could do a lower quality version which would be half that size. Both would be encoded to Windows Media Video as after playing around with Divx I've found the quality is comparable at the same encoding rate ..

I think anything up to 50mb or so is fine.

Comedy value - something along these lines, eg:

Not my idea of comedy, but do what you must!

I always prefer original sound mainly because i don't drive round tracks listening to music, though every TV programme always adds music i don't think its a good thing.

Do one of each if you like.

Ditto ( only 512K at home, but up to 16M at work at quiet times )

No Ben, please no!

This works much better IMHO:

Heh, just testing general levels of sanity

Lauren - just for you, I'll do one without any music

Just been listening to various tracks that could be used.

I was thinking U2/Vertigo orginially, but I've just been listening to Jet/Are you gonna be my girl ... I think that would very work very well

Yeah, that's the kinda style I was aiming for - Dale only got 3 minutes of footage in the paddock so there's not much 'talky' stuff - but I'm fairly sure I've seen some good car/people photos that Mark or Michael took - I can use those.

I should still have the untouched hi-res ones somewhere if you need them

Thanks Michael - I'll have a look through your pics and drop you a PM to let you know which ones I'm thinking of using. With the video encoding they're going to end up at 576x768 resolution so super Hi-Res originals aren't too much of a worry (!)
