Alioth's Journal: Video - get it while it's hot!

I just got done editing 4 hours or so of raw footage down to less than five minutes :-)

Anyway - five minutes of total insanity is here:

It's about 80 meg but it's well worth the download. Motorcycle sidecar racing on the Southern 100 circuit (i.e. public roads, the ones I cycle on or drive to work every day) this year. As always if you don't have an MP4 player, then get VLC at http://www.videolan.org/

Before you ask, yes, the roads are closed for the racing!

This year I got loads of camera angles - TWO mobile cameras, two angles each (I spotted someone else who had an onboard camera, brought my laptop along, and got his video too), as well as several angles from the handheld. The only thing I'm now missing is a few people with handheld cameras on the back side of the circuit.

Nice

I remember watching races like this when I was a kid. The sidecar peeps do some insane leaning on tight turns.

I loved the final shot of the team pushing the bike across the line.

cool!

Very cool, as always. :)
