Bike video

Here's our groups 2nd talent video...we interviewed Casey from RWU who is a competitive biker. The video is kinda quiet but he was a good sport and gave us alot of great information. We filmed using the flip for this video.



We should have gotten more b-roll of him doing tricks and maybe had him speak a little louder. Adding music would have also made the video more interesting.




I actually did add music to the video, it's just very hard to hear. Being alone in the Mac Lab and having head phones really makes a difference in sound. I changed the volume of the music (Wailing Paddle, by Big D and the Kids Table) and his voice a lot until I thought it was pretty good, but obviously I was wrong. The music and his voice sounded way louder in Final Cut, but after it came up on YouTube and I watched it the next day the sound quality pretty much sucked. I also wanted a lot more camera shots of him doing tricks, but he said he didn't have the right bike or the right setting to do any more tricks except jumping down the stairs, so we took a couple of that. I also wanted to speed up the videos, but for some reason Final Cut wouldn't let me; I thought at first it was because we used the Flip, but I've changed the speed with the Flip before, so I don't know exactly what Final Cut was up to. At least it was a sunny day.
