What If I Tried Shooting Video While Skiing?

What If ?

When I tried to shoot video while I was skiing, at first it was pretty cool that I could do it even at all. Got pretty excited about it until I watched the results.

It's impossible for someone of my skill level to ski fast and hold the viewfinder to my eyeball. So the result is very mixed.

  1. Definitely Exciting. No question that you get the feeling of going down the slopes.
  2. Really Crappy Footage. One could never even show this on anything other than an amateur blog. This footage gives "home movies" a bad name.

Startted out the footage with a few shots of Alice, then Tom. What follows is my own run down the hill.

Specs

  • shot on a 3 year old Nikon Coolpix 4600 still camera with movie setting
  • converted from a .MOV file to AVI with Quicktime Pro 5
  • edited (very slightly) in Camtasia 5 and produced to Flash using blog preset
