Re: It’s not Universe II, but…

YAY!

i liked a couple of things in the movie especially

the fact that u did a controlled dismount after a trick
i’m used to that being cut out and it was nice to see ‘reality’ sneak in like that

strangely, i also liked the fact that u kept the by now ‘de riguer’ UPD section at the end of the movie really short

kewl riding, big numbies and a kewl soundtrack

nice one boet!

Very nice, Brian! I’m jealous of your playground. Oh yes, and your riding skills!

The few upd’s i did throw in there were only to video and the song to sync up a little better…and to have the song be cut off at a cutoffable part of the song.

The videographer is not a rider. It’s funny how they use their instincts and try to capture your face, not the wheel. Don’t worry, he was scolded.

(thanks!)

Shaving is barbaric.

Yeah, I hate cutting my calves :frowning:

thanks for uplaodin the bigger file, avi’s great, but it doesnt seem to work, it just stops at 517k when i try to dload it, and if i try to stream it, media player throws up an error?

i’ll keep tryin, looking forward to seeing some uni action!

Not to be a whiner, but when I open a .rm file, Real Player opens up and starts asking me to register, advertises at me, and assumes I’m interested in a whole lot of stuff other than watching the file I clicked on. I would be a bigger fan if it just played the file.

I can say the same about Quicktime. I have never started the program, even after uploading the latest version, when it didn’t ask me if I want to upgrade first.

Yes, I’m cheap. I’m talking about the free versions of both players.

Nathan and Sofa were talking about following the rider’s face instead of the wheel. Depending on the situation, following the face is fine as well. When I make video clips on my digital camera, sometimes I watch the face as it goes by, so you can see who the rider was (low res). Or, if the person is not doing something technical at that moment, the face is fine. But otherwise, follow the feet and wheel!

In case it may help others …

I could not get either of the posted movie links to work.

Both links started http://londonunicyclingclub/…

When I changed these to http://www.londonunicyclingclub/… they worked.

FYI: I’m using ie 6.0

Ah, adding the www does let the download work. Here is a link with the www added

50 MB AVI version of the movie

The 50 MB version is more clear than the Real Player version. The compression isn’t as blurry.
