First vid with the GoPro - Warning: contains scooters :-)

[Donnie]

This is using the gopro hero 2 that I bought from @Slimbert from these very forums. I decided to use the helmet mount system and rigged my own tether just in case it should come away but it didnt. Used the gopro studio software to edit.

So, hope it's ok as it's my first attempt at this kind of stuff.

This is good, plenty of variety , how did you manage to keep things so steady?
Really enjoyed watching this, background music felt just right.

Some gorgeous Lammies there , my 50 year old Li150 is away at the moment getting a 200CC engine fitted, can't wait to get it back and out on the road.

Steady wise I just used the helmet mount, we have a short run to our club meet this thursday evening so im going to try the chest mount if it arrives in time.

It's all a bit Jean Luc-Godard new-wave, a single shot with lots of jump cuts to shorten it.

Scooters could make a fascinating video, if someone gave it the Janapar treatment.

I have NO idea who those people are :-/

Godard was a key player in New Wave Cinema whose "motif" was using jump cuts - where you take a long sequence and shorten it by cutting bits out. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_cut
